New Year Tarot Spread

New Year Tarot Spread

Welcoming 2018 has taken me a better part of a month to do. I had other (better!) things going on that made it difficult for me to embrace the cold chill of winter that came on the first day of 2018 in Philadelphia. My family and I welcomed our second child on January 20th. Birthing our daughter the way we envisioned was all I could focus on. So glad that our birthing ceremony/labor was not only…

My Journey

My journey with the tarot began a year ago. Before that my experience with the cards was relegated to oracle and affirmation decks. I always wanted to work with the tarot and yet I continued to postpone tarot study. I wondered if there was a part of me that was holding back due to the fear of entering the unknown. I had a sense that the tarot would change my life by opening the windows of my…

Real Life ‘Hidden Figures’ || These Women are Real Life STEM Geniuses

Black Girl Long Hair writes:

With the movie Hidden Figures set for release on December 25, 2016, IBM and Vanity Fair have partnered up to profile eight diverse trailblazers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (S.T.E.M.). Four of these individuals are black women who have broken barriers in the field and become role models for those of us who have followed their footsteps.

“When I went into space, people asked me about ‘its importance for black girls?’ My answer: ‘It’s certainly a meaningful example for young black girls. And it is also an important example for older white males who are the main gatekeepers to science and engineering. My being an astronaut removes any excuses for them to disregard the potential of girls of color.” – Dr. Mae Jemison for Vanity Fair

The Fire continues to burn inside of me. I'm guided by my ancestors and divine guides. We come from a long line of warriors, lightworkers, healers, let's remember that as we prepare for battle. #repost via @thegilmoregurl

Only by learning to live in harmony with your contradictions can you keep it all afloat

Audre Lorde (via fuckyeahaudrelordequotes)

To be fully human, means we accept all parts of who we are. Our imperfections, flaws, and the parts that we don’t like or those parts of the self that we tend to keep hidden or repressed from our awareness. Living in harmony with all of the contradictions are what make us human. Self-love is the most important practice towards our healing.

To tell the truth is to become beautiful, to begin to love yourself, value yourself. And that's political, in its most profound way.
