When we tell stories, we return to the circle , the one our ancestors formed under trees, on porches, in kitchens.

We are wired for healing in community. And every page of Nya’s Shining Star or Nya’s Enchanted Garden is part of that tradition.

Do all the things.
Every idea, every dream, every “maybe I could…”
Even the ones you’ve questioned, doubted, or talked yourself out of.

Do it anyway.
For the version of you that’s still hoping it’s possible.

Sometimes the loudest shade comes from the weakest roots.
We don’t have to attend every debate or defend against every opinion.
If it’s not fruitful, it’s not your assignment.

Ignore shade that comes from empty branches.
You’ve got too much to build.

We can workout, eat clean, take the meds and still be unwell inside. Let’s prioritizing healing how people experience us, not how they see us. #FEMpoweredStories #HealingHer #MoreThanFine #NyasShiningStar #NyasEnchantedGarden

Softness. Spirit. Sisterhood.
Not by might, not by power—but by something greater.
We need healing in our womanships.
Let the breath of restoration begin.

Sometimes people would rather believe an assumption than seek the truth, and that tells you everything.
Real relationships ask. They don’t assume.
Because truth requires care.
And clarity? That’s peace.
Proverbs 18:13 “To answer before listening, that is folly and shame.

From business to reflection, our trip to Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Senegal was eye-opening. Expanding Supreme Family Foundation in Sierra Leone and experiencing Senegal’s history reminded me of how disconnected we’ve become.

Assimilation opens doors for the individual. Liberation empowers the collective. Our ancestors/pillars fought for us to build, not beg. Let’s pursue true empowerment. #LiberationNotAssimilation

In life, storms come in many forms: despair, anger, disbelief, grief. And I know those storms well. There have been moments when the weight felt too heavy, and the storm too fierce. But one lesson has carried me through: learn to dance in the rain instead of waiting for the storm to pass.

I'm glad I don't look like, what I've been through.

Motherhood comes with its own set of intense feelings. Then there’s navigating partnerships, life, business, grief… each experience layered with its own emotions.
