Whooo, it’s been a month y’all. Not gonna lie, I’m exhausted. And I skipped washing my hair last week (again). But I’m still here, still hustling, still bringing you vids to help you move consciously and creatively through life. ☀️☀️☀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The latest one (link in bio) is about organization systems, which I’ve spent a lot of this year working on. I’ve really been flying by the seat of my pants with this whole adulthood thing, but seeing as I’ve managed to stay in the same place for a little while, I’m trying to be a bit more methodical. 📚📚📚⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is a “Get Better With Me” and my organization still has room to improve. I feel like I’ve mastered keeping together my physical space, my notes & files, to-do list (Evernote is key), and my diet, but I could still work on sticking to a sleep schedule and having solid morning/ evening routines. Some parts of my life are tidy, some aren’t. How do you keep yourself organized? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #tidyingup #selfimprovement #organizeyourlife #organizedschaos #dowhatsonfire

Springtime is here and I’m looking up 🌸🌞🌺 Can’t believe the first quarter of the year is already over! I feel like for me winter was a time of preparation, spring is a season for execution, hoping that toiling away will bear fruit this summer. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What seeds are you planting going into the next quarter of the year? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #springtime🌸 #stayoptimistic #livespiritedly #keepgoingforward #inbloom #popofcolor

🎵 You better c’mon in this house, ‘cause it’s gonna rain. 🎵💧 My latest vid is for the times when you hit a blue mood. Feeling mildly depressed can put a drain on your productivity, and that’s something I’ve been working through this month. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ☔️☔️☔️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In this 3rd part of my “Get Better With Me” series, I talk about how I keep working when I’m down. Because no matter my mood, bills (and taxes😬) have still gotta get paid. Video is in my bio - Keep on keeping on, y’all. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #moodygrams #selfloveisthebestlove #selfcarefirst #calledtobecreative #keepgoingforward #yougotthis #blkcreatives

Just out here in these YouTube streets tryna be somebody with your girl @halleasebeast. Went to the DC #YouTubePopUpSpace last week and it was nice hanging with creator friends and making new ones, chatting with policy people about the impact of YouTube, and, oh yeah, meeting YouTube’s CEO. So basically just a casual weeknight. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📸📹🎥 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I do think that the power YouTube has to reach people’s hearts and minds is incredible, and it’s awesome to see the work YouTube is doing around social good. I’m hoping that the videos I make on my channel inspire you to think consciously and compassionately about how you walk through the world, and that the videos I help make at @pbsds help you think critically about the world you walk through. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💡✏️🔑 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here’s to being a part of the change you want to see. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨😁✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #YouTubeLife #MakersGonnaMake #BeAChaoticGood #YouTubePopUp #CalledToBeCreative #YoungBlackArtists #ShineTheory

Happy #InternationalWomensDay! For me, having a sisterhood is vital. Thanks to this darling, I always know that there’s someone right there with me, my ride or die, someone to inspire who also inspires me. And whether it was growing up in Girl Scouts, surviving in college, or getting along in the workplace, there have been support systems of wonderful women every step of the way. . 👭👭👭 . We are strong. We are powerful. We know no bounds. . 💁‍♀️💁‍♀️💁‍♀️ . Glad to see everyone showing love today. And shoutout to my A1 since day 1 - love you to Brazil and back 😉 #IWD2019 #InternationalWomensDay2019 #CelebratingWomen #sisterhood👭 #BlackGirlMagic

Had a candid convo about queer identity and shifting privilege during transition with @jackisnotabird ! Video link in the description! . 🎬🏳️‍🌈✨ . We got to hang out at @youtube in San Bruno this past December and it was a fun time. Be sure to check out Jack’s channel as well. He makes primarily #LGBTQ videos for thoughtful nerds, and he also sometimes does weird things with waffles 😉 . 🥞🥓🥞(where’s the waffle emoji when I need it) . #proudtocreate #intersectionality #checkyourprivilege #privilege #queersofinstagram #lgbtq🌈 #youtubelife
