and this why i mind the business that pays me 🤣
folk say they need an accountability partner, whole time they mean they want an enabling partner.
yeah, no, this ain't that.

so i'm in the space of defining my own family traditions, alongside events that are a big deal in society but of zero significance to me. i didn't grow up celebrating Halloween, but my Nana did. and the only way i'd get a costume or go trick or treating is if i was at Nana's house. that was something my mom chose to be lenient about because she trusted my Nana would keep us safe.

that being said, my child will not participate at all, with anyone, ever. i haven't that amount of trust in a single soul.

as a mom, i believe in providing unbiased information about holidays to my offspring.. she's still young, and i'm very comfortable discussing the origins of rituals and symbols. so when i'm asked "why don't you celebrate XYZ holiday" my answer is simple. "that's not what we do."

PS. this farm experience left a lot to be desired. i checked before i pulled up, the reviews were great!! but i'm not people. 🙃

Marie Claire Power Play x Marshalls The Good Stuff Social Club was such a vibe! 💜✨

Being in a room full of powerhouse creatives, visionaries, and leaders left me feeling inspired and focused on the next level of my own journey.

I'm sharing more of my takeaways over on The Makings Of - my new Substack where I break down the behind-the-scenes of my creative journey, lessons, and projects.
