After lots of waiting and anticipating, I am finally sharing the story of how I manifested a career shift and my dream job in 8 months. I’m gonna get into the nitty-gritty details of the manifestation list I wrote, the vision board I created, and basically most of what happened in between as well. I’ll likely just do a separate post on the energetics of manifestation and what works for me - but this is specifically to go through how I manifested the job that I was offered at the end of May.

Got my hair done with Shea Moisture and went to Pilates with Keke Palmer that day.

I had been keeping it under wraps because it wasn’t officially announced yet, and contracts and all of that. I also wanted to wait until it was set and final and until I really knew what I would be doing for the brand, but after 3 months of connecting with the company, aligning on pay, and chemistry testing - it is official!!

I am now a Contributing Editor at Refinery29. I am also a cohost for their new podcast for Unbothered & Well, along with two other cohosts. So…. how tf did this happen?

You can sign up for the podcast here, and my articles will be posted monthly here.

My first media pass at the Essence Festival in NOLA.

I have to take you back 8 months ago to when I officially called my residency program and told them, “Not for me…. I am resigning”. BTW, I am gonna put the paywall here because tbh, as I said before, I am really private and it just makes me feel safer sharing the details of my process behind something that is a bit more engaged. Sorry, not sorry.
