If someone told me a few years ago that I would be recognized today as a Woman of #Xcellence by a world renowned luxury brand that I have long admired, I would not have believed them. Sure, I have done some pretty amazing things in my life, but I have also lived long enough to experience failure. Failures I didn’t think I could come back from. So in being recognized, this is also a learning experience for me. Xcellence isn’t perfection. Xcellence isn’t always happy or pretty. Xcellence is falling down hard many, many times, but always getting back up. Dedication, resilience, passion, having everything, losing it all, feeling like giving up, but still getting up and going to the gym no matter what. That's Xcellence! . . . Whether I'm feeling young or feeling old..... if I'm thinking “I’ve got this” or if I feel my world is falling apart - no matter what, I’m gonna keep doing the damn thing anyway. . . Then suddenly one day, I'm living the life I envisioned for myself. And I'm being recognized for it. Thank you, @bmwusa & @kmwchi1, for acknowledging me, a 51 year old woman of color, striving to live a life of Xcellence. . . Now catch me in these NYC streets (and beyond) in the #bmwx5 throughout the month of April! 💁🏽‍♀️. . . #bmwdiversity #bmwwox (at Central Harlem)

It’s that time of year again! The days are getting longer, and we’ve had a sneak peek of spring with a few days of unseasonably warm temps. I don’t know about you, but I’ve still been playing around with getting rid of these few pounds I gained over the holidays. Time to stop playing! My friend, celebrity master trainer @robertbrace, has developed a ballet-inspired, low impact, fat-burning, muscle toning workout to get us bikini ready! Join us for a Summer Ready workout @lululemon fitness studio. Link in bio. Reserve your spot now!!! It’s free 😉 . . Saturday, 3/17 2-3:30pm Lululemon Store Fitness Studio 114 5th Avenue (17th St) . . Memorial Day weekend is only 10 weeks away. Yikes!

In celebration of #InternationalWomensDay, I salute my 101 year old grandmother, Julia, who was born in 1916 in Leonville, Louisiana. Here she is in her backyard in Houston, TX, where my mother, her 81 year old daughter, takes good care of her.

Let me just say that God has been showing up big for me this first month of 2018. Hard work, consistency, and faith have brought me here. It is no easy feat to reinvent yourself and change your life at my age. Thank you all for taking the journey with me. 🙏🏽❤️ #thisis50 #51 (at New York, New York)
