Feeling blue? Here's what to do!


Its hard dealing with low self-esteem. How do we pick ourselves up when were feeling down? How do we build our confidence? What do you do when you feel like sticking your head in a blender?
I'm no Dr. Phil, but I do have three simple tips that will boost your self-esteem.

1. Write down affirmations
*An affirmation is the action or process of affirming something or being affirming; emotional support or encouragement. Find some time to regularly write down affirmations. When doing so, do not hold back. Be sure to really build yourself up and encourage yourself.

*"You is smart, you is kind, you is important"

2. Surround yourself with positive people
Its really important to have positive people in your life who encourage you and build you up. If your friends don't hype you after you post a fire selfie on Instagram DROP THEM! They are haters that are praying on your downfall.
          So what if you have to use snap chat filter and take 4,765 selfies  until you find the best one

3. Pretend like you're an international mega star! 
When I'm feeling down I like to imagine myself on a set of a photo shoot in an exotic destination or on a stage of a sold out arena. Don't be afraid to really get into character! I love performing in front of my friends and family as they pretend to be my die hard fans, screaming and cheering for me. After doing this, I usually suffer from asthmatic attack due to the fact that I'm completely winded and have difficulty catching my breath. But its 100% worth it! The way I feel about myself afterwards is unrivaled!
 
I can't thank my fans enough for all of the love and support!(by fans I mean my cousins MVicky & Sista Maggie)

You're welcome! You can stop seeing your therapist now.

Been Black My Whole Life

Been Black My Whole Life I’ve been Black my whole life I get followed when they see me in sight  Lock the doors and hold that purse tight  I’ve been Black my whole life It's a wallet not a gun or a knife  I may not live to see another night  I’ve been Black my whole life 10-15 years now I'm doing time? You know damn well I didn't commit a crime I’ve been Black my whole life I'm yelling Black lives matter until they do right   Just like Sofia, all my life I had to fight ‘Cause I’ve been Black my whole life  -Amira Mensah

Raiding Amissa's Closet

"And so I thought, everyone wants to know what's in my closet, so why don't I just share it with the world?" explains Amissa, Head Curator of Amissa's Closet. I was fortunate enough to discover Amissa's closet through their Instagram page, right before their official launch. The way Amissa connects Ghana fashion to the world, while promoting individuality is the reason why Amissa's Closet has become my new favorite online boutique.  The inspiration to start the brand came from her many visits back home. With each trip back from Ghana, an overweight suitcase full of custom made pieces is sure to follow. "I really enjoy the process of creating stand out items that aren't like everyone else's but rather made from my unique perspective" she passionately exclaims.  As the fashion authority, friends and family of Amissa seek her out for fashion related advice."I found myself advising my sister and relatives about which fabrics ...

Respect the Black Woman

*The most disrespected person in America is the Black woman.                                              -Malcom X The anger I feel when I am disrespected seeps past this life time into another from generations ago. The sadness I feel is the sadness of not just my own. The pain I feel is the collective pain of us all. There hasn't been a time in this country's history when the disrespect of the Black women hasn't been justified by the stereotypical characteristics attributed to us. We are defined and named as attitude, criminal, promiscuous, and most frequently, angry. For years, nothing could be done. We could only endure as we were enslaved, raped, beaten, killed and insulted. In this time as we continue to fight for equality, it is hard to not be discouraged the moment we fall victim to disrespect and nothing is done. Society sits quietly while recogniz...
