Black Maternal Health Week Part 1/2 - I remember during my pregnancy & post partum, one of my prayers was that I didn’t want to be a statistics (see below). I had to diligently do my part in taking care of myself & speaking up for myself & baby even when it wasn’t comfortable. . . Do you know what statistics I’m talking about? According to the @cdcgov the maternity mortality rate in the United States is 17.4 deaths per 100,000 live births. But by race, the rate for black women is 37.1 deaths per 100,000 live births compared to 14.7 for white women & 11.8 for Hispanic women. In fact for a black college educated woman, the death rate is 5 times worse than that of white women. (Let that sink in). . . Everyone who hears these stats should be alarmed & advocate for equal care regardless of socioeconomic status or class. The health disparities we see in the black community is unacceptable & most of these deaths are preventable. While we know that there are multiple & systemic factors causing the disaprities, there’s a lot we can do to bridge the gap starting with us being more assertive when communicating & advocating for ourselves, loved ones, patients, neighbors, mothers, sisters to receive the best care possible. Black people, women, mothers and most especially black mothers deserve better. . . Part 2 - I’ll share a little bit about my experience as a mom & the life changing moments I had to speak up because what I thought would be a smooth induction when left from the beginning & my smile soon turned to tears. . . . . . . . . . #chigisworld #blackmaternalhealthweek #blacklivesmattertoo #blackmomsmatter #blackfamiliesmatter #healthdisparities #maternalmortality #preventivecare #preventivemedicine #healthadvocate #ttccommunity #fertilityadvocate #reproductivehealth #journeytomotherhood #pcospregnancy #fertilitysupport #preeclampsiasurvivor #csectionstrong #ivfsurvivor #maternalhealth #womenshealthmatters #endracialinjustice (at Sugar Land, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_C1bQCFfWJ/?igshid=13cygoxtzygil

1 Easy Way to Boost Your Immune System is by improving your Nutritional Intake & Mindful Eating. 1. Drink a smoothie a day by mixing 3-5 colorful fruits & vegetables to get different vitamins & minerals e.g. Vitamin A, B, C, D, Zinc etc. 2. Make sure you eat/drink dark green leafy vegetables daily because they are packed with nutrients great for your red blood cells, have high fiber but low in carbohydrate 3.

Happy Easter Friends! What do you have planned today? We are having a great time celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. As we worship God, I pray that you experience the love, grace & peace of God that transforms from the inside out. We love & appreciate you all. 🙌🏾😘 Jesus is Risen! . . P.S. I wanted to feel like we were on vacation on an island so I used a few things from bamboo table mats to silk birds of paradise, vines & palms to make my dinning room a little tropical for our Easter meal. . . . . . . . #chigisworld #happyeaster2020 #JesusisRisen #easterday2020 #eastercelebrations #tropicalvibes #tropicalliving #easterlunch #junglevibes #ltkholiday #ltkhome #houstonfashionblogger #nigerianfashionbloggers #houstonlifestyleblogger #eclecticfashion #eclecticstyle #eclectichomedecor #amazonfinds #macyshome #pier1imports #hayneedlehome #wayfairathome #amazonhome #homegoodsfinds https://www.instagram.com/p/B-4u7oSlSPw/?igshid=b2rbsvob839m

Hi Friends, SET YOUR ALARM! Today at 12pm CST I’ll be chatting on my IG LIVE with @megand1431 Founder of @accellifestyle on how she’s coping during this pandemic & what she’s doing to help her community. . . . 3 things this pandemic has highlighted has been the importance of 1. Staying emotionally connected despite maintaining social distancing. 2. Supporting each other because we are in this together. 3. Being responsible for not just ourselves but also others & the world we live in because we are all connected & our choices affect others. . . Remember! Just by maintaining great hygiene and following the @cdcgov guidelines, you are doing your part. But I know some people want to do more even from the safety of their homes, so today we’re going to talk about how to do that & how to support others not only on the front lines, but also at the back end to overcome different challenges. . . . . . . #chigisworld #stayinghomesaveslives #iglivechat #solutionsfocused #JustDoYourPart #problemsolvers #accellifestyle #DoingYourPart #houstonbusinessowners #houstonbusinesswomen #supportsmallbusinessowners #femalefounders #womenofpurpose #walkingbyfaith (at Houston, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-19Q5klfxu/?igshid=1n1mnxp7wcwnv

MONDAY MANTRA & MINDSET - Do you like Multitasking or Unitasking (focus on 1 thing at a time) & Why? Which are you great at? This past week I was reading the research & literature out there on Multitasking because like many people I thought I was great at it, but you’ll be very shocked to hear that while it may work for simple things like watching TV & texting on your couch, it diminishes your focus & productivity level for more complex things like work.

BEAUTY, HEALTH & BODY POSITIVITY - What have you struggled with & how have you overcome it? We live in a society where women are often judged by how we look instead of our personality, character, intelligence & talents. We are constantly compared to each other, which puts a lot of pressure on us to change & conform to what society regards as beautiful, sexy, healthy, attractive or normal. . . Our bodies are always changing with time & those changes can make us struggle with different negative emotions which can cause low self-esteem & confidence before, during & even after pregnancy. . . I’m passionate about changing the narrative that your worth as a woman is related to your looks. I’m sharing some great tips on how to maintain a positive and healthy image of your body, to grow your confidence & love yourself even more at every stage in your life. . .

As 2018 comes to an end & we enter 2019, what are you most grateful for? What has been the best thing this year, what was the most challenging thing & what did you learn from it? . . For me, the thing was taking bold steps to work on myself, transform my mindset & grow my faith. Then it was finally manifesting one of by biggest dreams of getting pregnant. Meanwhile the most challenging was dealing with the pain after my IVF retrieval, having mood swings from hormone changes & my physical limitations being pregnant. But from that, I learned to trust more in God especially during my hardest times, to clearly ask people for help, to focus & prioritize better & take more time during my pregnancy to care of myself & our unborn child. I also learned that sometimes less is more because being busy doesn’t mean being more productive. What do you think? . .
