Most people only associate the word ROI (Return on Investment) with investing in stocks. Return on Investment is the ratio between the net profit, and cost of investment resulting from an investment of some resources. So in layman’s terms, if you invest in stocks what will the return be, or how beneficial will the return be to you? This past week, I realized Return on Investment applies to so many things in life. When you invest your time and money into something, you must...

I have been taught to believe that being selfish is wrong. To a certain extent I agree. For example: if you love someone you should be selfless. You should consider that persons feelings and wants, and sometimes put their needs above your own. But if you’re a young woman on your grind, are you grinding towards a purpose and focusing on your personal growth? Or do you live by the code of not being selfish? If you had to choose between your growth, and...

So I’ve been calling you a queen, but I never really explained why I believe you are royalty. The definition of the word queen is the female ruler of an independent state, especially one who inherits the position by right of birth. Now I can’t speak for all, but most of us do not rule any states. So that brings me to my definition of a queen. A queen is someone who believes they are precious jewels, and carry’s them selves as a lady...

I see you’re still stepping in that sh** queen. Mhmm, it’s no judgment. I know what it’s like to feel as though you can’t leave something or someone alone, or the thought of being alone is more terrifying than being treated less than you deserve. This is not a judgment post. Consider this post a friendly reminder to remind you who the heck you are. See queen, I too forget sometimes that I’m that chick. Queen, you are everything someone is praying for. You...

Your words have power. From an early age my mom has always corrected me whenever I spoke negativity over my life, or even someone else’s life. I use to find this so frustrating. I would call my mom and say something that the average person would simply consider to be an expression. “I’m so tired of etc. I need this to be over!” My mom would reply to a statement like that “girl you better be careful what you say. Don’t you know your...

Have you ever gotten the feeling that you were forcing a certain situation? Or, have you ever felt like you were forcing something you want right now because you’ve convinced yourself now is the time for you to have it? I’ve learned in life, some things are truly meant to flow. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve tried to force relationships, things I want in life, and even hairstyles that I knew made me look crazy (yes queen, stop forcing that hairstyle,...

Whew chile, this story is overdue! When I think of dating in 2018 I think of battle of the sexes. Let me first start by saying being single is a beautiful thing. Queens and kings take the time that you are single to grow spiritually and personally, and most importantly focus on your happiness and loving yourself. But back to this tea. So it’s no secret, I have been single for two years now. I am now in year two and I am figuring...

I am an extreme advocate for supporting black owned businesses. However, there are many black people that do not feel the same way. Some people have created the notion that black owned businesses have terrible customer service. Now yes queen, I have experienced this myself. However, it only made me want to support black owned businesses more, not disown them all. Some people also simply do not support because they do not believe in starting a business. Take for example your one friend who...

Imagine a world where no one told lies, or made up stories other than for entertainment purposes, and everyone truly lived in their truth. I know you’re thinking this sounds like a fantasy, or a corny movie on Netflix. However, this can be your reality. Don’t you get tired of fronting for people who could care less about your well-being? Or are you tired of not being honest with yourself about the person you were born to be? Now I get it, it’s so...

Fun fact. When I write these stories they literally come to me as I’m working my way through my own life problems. See make no mistake sis, everything I write I too have experienced it or currently am still experiencing it. Have you ever felt like things weren’t happening in your life at the pace you desired? Or like God was not blessing you with something you believe in your heart you deserve? Or maybe something you worked so hard for just has not...
