Yall it has been not even a full week and I already miss my fro 😭 my fellow naturals know the struggle is so real. However I'll reflect on these puffs and this extremely comfortable dress my mama mailed me (she has a boutique so hit her up)...back when people were actually getting mail. It's been 4 days yall for regular mail and almost a whole month since my new laptop was suppose to be delivered. 45 is utterly trash for taking funding away from the damn post office. Let me go drink some wine chile 🍷 * * * * #myeshatiara #actingjourney #theatre #blactress #blackactress #chicagotheatre #film #webseries #blackgirlmagic #melanin #directingjourney #tv #blackdirectors #chicagoactors #blackactors #blacktheatre #YouTube #MTsCornerwithMyeshaTiara #MTsCorner #ContentCreator #BlackContentCreator #4chair #afropuffs (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC87omJH1AD/?igshid=1tggox7auz2jn

Yall really have to get yourself some of that self care routine. This weekend has been such a refreshing gift and enlightened me to stick to my boundaries more often than I do. Learning to say "NO", feels so liberating 🧜🏾‍♀️ Hair: @_mostylez Waistbeads: @britanysbeading * * * * #myeshatiara #actingjourney #theatre #blactress #blackactress #chicagotheatre #film #webseries #blackgirlmagic #melanin #directingjourney #tv #blackdirectors #chicagoactors #blackactors #blacktheatre #YouTube #MTsCornerwithMyeshaTiara #MTsCorner #ContentCreator #BlackContentCreator #selfcare (at Wakanda) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC1MMyfHaS3/?igshid=19cky01dt9njc

Want to make sure #BlackLivesMatter then make sure you are buying from black owned companies as well, we deserve support and make amazing products and art.

#WaistTrain but make it #blackowned I’ve been seeing so many ads for @whatwaistofficial and decided to finally get it instead of still using my #5Below one lol! My package came in the mail yesterday, it took about full week for it to get to me and I got a 2XL. My first workout with it this morning went really well, definitely helped with my posture and had them Double D’s sitting pretty lol. I’m on a #weightlostjourney (sssh don’t tell anyone) and I started working out July 3rd, I’m 5ft 8in and started at 220LB and it’s now July 12th and I’m at 215LB so yeah, way to start off my bday month! #CancerGang 👑💜🧜🏾‍♀️

Also the sun has totally been making this melanin pop and I’m so here for it! * * * * #whatwaistwarrior #whatwaist #5lbdown #myeshatiara #actingjourney #theatre #blactress #blackactress #chicagotheatre #film #webseries #blackgirlmagic #melanin #directingjourney #tv #blackdirectors #chicagoactors #blackactors #blacktheatre #YouTube #MTsCornerwithMyeshaTiara #MTsCorner #ContentCreator #BlackContentCreator https://www.instagram.com/p/CCjMtJ6H_BD/?igshid=90r4hcna38sy

Did my first #storytime on my channel and it all about how I found out I was black....a black actor that is and what all that entails. If you don't know what I'm talking about definitely watch so you can get an idea. If you do know then watch and let me know what your experience was and when you found out that you were a (insert adjective) actor/artist. Like, comment, subscribe and share it if you would like! Stay safe all and see you online!
