They call her a domestic terrorist. A killer. A threat. But we see her far differently, as a change agent, a freedom fighter, and a demander of racial justice.

As today is #WorldMentalHealthDay.. I reflect on my current state of mind.. yesterday I had a therapy session and cried my eyes out.. breaking down from something I didn’t even realize I was so affected by from my childhood. It scares me to confront these feelings.. yet I am very proud of myself for taking steps forward to a better me.. a better me that can love and understand.. understand why I am the way I am.. or the way that I think/process/handle situations.. I’ve never experienced anything like I am currently.. but something is happening within me.. I’m growing.. learning.. unraveling.. being honest about my emotions.. and stepping into my power.. it is a very long journey and at times it’s even hard for me to understand.. but I am embracing it. Sometimes we find ourselves in dark places.. but we are not alone. I encourage you to take the steps to becoming a better you.. do things that fulfill you and make you feel whole and happy.. whatever it may be.. there is no wrong or right. And don’t be afraid to ask for help. And with all that being said.. yesterday, I cried.. took a hot shower and threw on this leopard onesie lol lounged around all day and allowed myself to sit in my emotions and thoughts and be alone for a bit and eventually let those feelings pass.. then I ate some yummy Thai food 😁 @prettylittlething

Still my favorite @topshelfjunior (PS how can I put that weight back on my face? lol PPS this was 7 years ago! Wow time flies)

I want to take a second to highlight an amazing female black owned business! I first met @teamscarlet through @yiminator when she sent a beautiful floral arrangement to my home. Recently, I needed a few arrangements for loved ones back in LA.. I really hate ordering flowers online because they never look like the pictures.. and honestly I was tired of the stock floral photos. I’m very picky about presentation lol. Anyways, I had these arrangements sent and they were GORGEOUS. I always send my God mom flowers and she said these were the best ones I’ve ever sent! They were also able to help me send an officewarming plant for my bestie! I was able to do all of this straight from New Orleans 😁 Thank you so much @teamscarlet for helping me and thank you for being the best at what you do and delivering top tier service! #SUPPORTBLACKBUSINESS

Lulu White wasn’t scandalous by New Orleans red-light district standards until she made the fantasies of white men the basis of her fortune. Swipe up in my story to learn what lie pushed her that much closer to the American dream.. And follow @wearepushblack for more daily #BlackHistory stories!
