NO to Racism!!!

by Admin | Jun 18, 2020 | BLOG

RACISM!!!!! I hate it! 😡

Thank you all for having this conversation with me and coming with an open heart.⠀
⠀
Here's what others have said: "Not one video that I have come across thus far has done what your video has I hope it goes viral for the sole purpose that I know more people need to hear it" - D. ⠀
⠀

"Dear Tracy, thank you so much for the recent live stream you hosted. It was by far the greatest informative live stream I have watched. Thank you for risking your platform, I feel it was a risk worth taking that will only build your following. 'I know that we are smarter than this' --- we are! Your voice is powerful, if you were running for office I would vote for you as you are a change maker." - S. ⠀
⠀
"The greatest video I've watched so far on BLM" - W. ⠀
⠀
"Tracyyyy! Your live was so good. Thank you so much for speaking to these topics. They have come up in so many conversations I've had and I am usually so stunned it's even an argument that I don't know what to say. I really appreciate how well you compiled research and explained how it fits into our context." -B. ⠀

I've posted the video down below for those of you who haven't had the chance to watch it.

If you need points to help explain to loved ones who just don't get it....

If you are the one who just doesn't get...

If you're just tired and need a resource to point people to...

Please use this.⠀

Black Lives MATTER!

by Admin | Jun 9, 2020 | BLOG, Lifestyle

Checking in on my STRONG friends.

How are you doing?

Sounds like a loaded question. But with all that's going on right now, sometimes its the right one.

As COVID wasn't enough 😫

Watching videos of #AhmaudAsbury and #GeorgeFloyd, hearing about #BreonnaTaylor, and FEELING all that comes with it. It is a lot in a very short amount of time. Its compounded grief and anger and emotions that I cant even begin to express. I know many of you feel the same.

Checking in on you because, if youre reading this, you're probably a leader in some capacity. And people look to you and lean on you to be a voice of reason, a light in the dark, a beacon. And thats heavy weight to carry.
Personally, I find myself teetering between what seems to be a slight depression (because I have no other words to categorize it at the moment) and outright rage.

I'm thankful for a community that allows me to do that. I've spent the last week or so having many conversations. I have had many crying sessions by myself and those around me.

I have tried several times to film videos of my own thoughts. I've tried to record podcasts to get it out there but I find that I either start crying to the point where my words are incoherent or my words become destructive. Neither of which is helpful.

I have shared a number of resources, posts, and ideals on IG stories. From those whom I felt have been able to articulate what I'm feeling in a more coherent way. I'm in awe of those who have been able to be so eloquent in this season. Lemme tell you something...when it comes to this particular subject matter, that is NOT my gift 🤣

I've had countless private conversations. But... I understand that my public platform carries weight. And so, I will ABSOLUTELY be saying something.

And just so we are clear - #blacklivesmatter

So whatever form it takes...thats the message.

So as I gather myself and my thoughts, I wanted to reach out to you and let you know that I grieve, I mourn, I hurt, I cry. this is very real for me as a black woman, as an American, and as a human being! But I am also letting my voice be heard, as should YOU!

Make Your Choice TODAY!

by Admin | Jun 2, 2020 | BLOG, Entrepreneur, Success Tips

I had no IDEA I was doing this!

When I started making YouTube videos 10 years ago, I don't think I actually knew what could happen. I don't think I really knew where it would go. I just knew that in the moment it was what I wanted to do and it felt like the right step for me. And that's what life is all about! Its just a series of choices.

A decade later, here we are! But to think it all started with ONE decision to do things a little differently.

I didn't know anyone making YouTube videos back then. I didn't know any entrepreneurs. I didn't know anyone who was a "personal brand" - pretty sure that wasn't even a thing.

But what I did know is that I felt called to make a move and I just did it. Apprehensively. A little ignorantly. But also unapologetically.

I don't really know any other way to do it if I'm honest.

In college someone told me, if you want to have an amazing life, learn to listen to the voice of God and do exactly what He says.

Sitting on my bathroom floor, filming that first video, I had no idea then that i was building what I have now. But I was aware that I was honoring God by doing what He called me to do in the moment that He called me to do it. And when you can learn the art of that...your will live the most amazing life!

What are you called to do RIGHT NOW?
