The LuvvLetter

Hey Reader, So… we need to talk about this RAGGEDY narrative that women need to be humble, because I’m tired of it. Actually, it’s not just a narrative, but an obsession that people have to ensure that girls and women are “humble” as if the day we were born, that was the assignment. When it never was. When Vice President MY PRESIDENT, Kamala Harris, went on the Call Her Daddy podcast and said “there are a whole lot of women not aspiring to be humble” I felt that in my SOUL. Because YES,...

Hey Reader! This week, I’ve been out of the country celebrating my 6th anniversary. 🥰 Wild how time FLIES. Like… it’s a mirage. Stopping and smelling the roses is always necessary. (and also, running away, which I’ve been doing a lot but I ain’t got no more absences planned cuz now I gotta be responsible for real and be a useful citizen of the world 😩) But yeah, let's talk about what else has been on my mind. 👇🏾 RANT Folks gotta stop saying "we need a coup." I've been unplugged for a lot of...

Hey Reader! We’re living through a season of House of Scandal Thrones at this point. Not even a good season. 🤡 A season where the show jumped the shark and we are forced to watch with our mouths agape, wondering how we got here. And we’re asking them to fire the entire writers room cuz they’re on acid. 😩 I'm tired of the plot twists. But yeah, let's talk about what's been on my mind this week. 👇🏾 RANT Racist people rot from the inside out. One thing I know to be true: racism is the quickest...

Hey Reader! I’m at the point of “what even is all of this? *gestures wildly* where I’m eating sugary cereal at 9pm (don’t tell my doctor cuz…). But I’m over here like “I’m doing great!” Cuz at least I’m not coping by drinking Four Lokos (remember those??). I know I just got back from sabbatical, but ummm… TAKE ME BACK, fam! I miss being useless. Being a responsible human is overrated, but hey. I guess somebody’s gotta do it. I’m back BACK at work. Like… fully plugged back into the...

Hey Reader! I’m back! (And lowkey mad it went by so fast cuz what do you mean that was 2 months and summer is now over???) 😩😩😩 Chile, lemme tell you. My sabbatical is over and I am in the deepest of gratitude that I had the opportunity. It changed me at the core for so many reasons. It shifted so much in my grounding. So many lessons. So much alignment. It was a sacred pause. A truly sacred moment in time. A life reset. An unlocking. A renewal. ✨ Two months of letting go taught me things I...

Hey Reader! This is it. The last LuvvLetter before I officially start my sabbatical in a couple of weeks. 🥹 After 15 years of building, grinding, and being the person holding everything together, I finally have the infrastructure to step away from my business for a bit. We just announced that Awe Luv has a new CEO, which means this summer, I'm on sabbatical, gallivanting, frolicking, and writing (because I do owe my next book). 😎 For the first time ever, I get to take my eyes off the ball,...

Hey Reader! Yesterday was Juneteenth, and we took the day off as a company to honor the holiday. May Black people continue to get free, rising like phoenixes out of the fire they try to throw us in. ✊🏾 There's something powerful about taking a beat to acknowledge where we've been and where we're going. Yesterday wasn't just about celebrating emancipation. It was about honoring the continuous work of liberation that happens every single day. Let’s get into what's been on my mind this week. 👇🏾...

Hey Reader! We're getting a week's worth of news in a single day right now and it's A LOT. 😩 Every time I check my phone, there's another headline that makes me wanna wall slide. And we may or may not be seeing the start of World War III with Iran and Israel. DIS TEW MUCH! And it’s Friday the 13th?!? Uh uh. The vibes are VERY OFF. But let's talk about what's been on my mind this week. 👇🏾 RANT Miss me with the "how did we not see this coming" narrative. I’m seeing way too many people on Blue...

Hey Reader! Y'all... this week has been A WEEK. 😩 I'm still processing everything that's unfolded. Between watching Cybertruck and Mango Mussolini have their little public meltdown (all this white on white crime 😏), celebrating new beginnings in my business, and dropping what turned out to be my FINAL podcast episode... whew. My brain is FULL. Honestly, I had to check in on my Sims because their world is way less chaotic than this one. 💀 But you know what? That's exactly why we gather here...

Hey Reader! Mentally, I’m already on summer break. Sometimes the summer slowdown gives us space to actually SEE what's been happening around us all year. And this week, I've been noticing some things that have me shook. Specifically, what's happening with reading and literacy, as kids are heading out of school. Let's dive in. 👇🏾 RANT The kids can't read. And that's wild as hell. I've been seeing these posts and stories about what's happening in our schools, and I am SHOOK. Teachers are...

Hey Reader, Beyoncé was in Chicago last weekend. We cut UP in that Honey Pit and A TIME WAS HADDDDD!!! 🥰🥰🥰 And I loved sharing it with some of my fave people including 2 of my nieces who got to go to their first ever concert 😭. I fear that I have ruined all other concerts for them because... how do you follow BEYONCÉ? Now I gotta go book another massage. My knees still hurt 😅 But yeah, let's talk about what's been pissing me off this week. 👇🏾 RANT Leave Angel Reese ALONE. I am sick and tired...
