About My Wellness Journey
Now, women who’ve followed my YouTube videos and articles know that in my past I’ve struggled with weight gain, low energy, and even bad skin. And I was pleasantly surprised when I noticed that my hair, skin, and body significantly improved once I took the time to improve my diet and adopt healthier eating habits – from the most basic things like drinking more water and cutting back on sugar intake, to adopting more vitamins and other key nutrients into my diet.
So ultimately it was my personal weight loss and wellness journey that lead to my intense curiosity, a deep love, and immense respect for the power of nutrition. Furthermore, I found that I also enjoyed sharing fun nutrition facts and practical healthy-eating tips with fellow like-minded women who were also curious about ways to enhance their overall beauty and health.
A Love for Writing, Art, Learning, and Representation in Media
So in a nutshell, I love writing books and creating content for women and girls. And I also get the pleasure of creating YouTube videos (like the video below) on topics ranging from beauty and self-care, to nutrition tips, to practical fitness tips for busy women. I was also honored to be featured in the list of 15 Black Doctors You Should Be Following On Social Media.
All the above stated, I absolutely LOVE what I do, and I’ve had the immense honor of having my very first book, If You Love It, It Will Grow: A Guide to Healthy, Beautiful Natural Hair, featured as one of the Top Beauty Books on Book Authority for Hair Care Books That Experts Trust and Use. In my book, I share my hair story, why I decided to take the journey from relaxed to natural hair, and how to ultimately grow healthier, stronger hair through healthy scalp care and hair care tips.
As the saying goes, “your body is a temple” and as you go about your day-to-day, it is my hope that your self-care regimen will help you feel your most healthy and beautiful.
And now my goal is to share what I’ve learned and all that I’m passionate about within nutrition, beauty, and self-care. Because in the end, I believe all women deserve to look and feel beautiful – inside and out!
