It's totally cool to be yourself and love who you are right now, as well as who you're becoming. Here's the thing: when you're true to yourself, not everyone will respond in the way you hope.

Today, I feel an overwhelming urge to share a piece of my personal journey with you. I hope that my story resonates with you, inspiring and empowering you to embrace your uniqueness, especially during those times when you feel like you just don't fit in.

Hey Doll, if you're reading this, I want you to know that it's okay to have a menstrual cycle, also known as a period. Yes, it's true: this monthly visitor may seem like a nuisance (and most times it is), but it's also a natural and necessary part of being a woman. At times you may feel embarrassed or even ashamed by it, but please know that you are not alone, WE’VE ALL BEEN THERE. Every single woman who has ever lived has had a menstrual cycle. It's a beautiful and unique p

As teenagers, it's important to recognize and understand the word “bias” and how biases exist and have a profound impact on our society today. Biases are preconceived notions or judgments about someone based on their race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, etc. It's so easy to fall into the trap of judging someone based on societal biases instead of getting to know them as individuals. Taking the time to get to know someone before judging them can be extremely beneficial.

Life can sometimes throw us some pretty sour lemons, but that doesn't mean we should give up on making lemonade. Challenges are a natural part of growth and developing resilience, and it’s important we learn how to overcome them. Firstly, understand that not all lemons are bitter.

In the eyes of society, beauty is measured by height, weight, body make up, skin color, hair type, ethnicity, how you dress and so many other superficial things. Why can’t beauty be measured by one’s uniqueness? I

There are times in life when things happen that we don’t necessarily understand and are often times hurt or left disappointed. Sometimes these things may leave a negative lasting effect on us. We also may experience things that we feel we don’t deserve and we do things to other people that they may not have necessarily deserved. This leaves a feeling of being wronged, ostracized, abused, misunderstood, talked about negatively, and then you’ll hear a wise person say “give Grac

I recently heard an audio message titled, ” What to do when there’s nothing you can do, it is what it is and you do not like what it is.”...

I heard it once said that good things come to those who wait. But have you ever felt like you have been waiting so long that you’ve actually forgotten what you’ve been waiting for? You question when is it your time? Why is it taking so long? Why not now? Well, funny thing is, we all have felt this way at some point or another and try to anxiously await for that one moment in time. So what do we do if that moment never comes? A wise person answered by saying, “continue to w
