People ask me all the time, “how do you do it all?” The truth is I don’t. Some weeks, I am the best mom and don’t focus on work. Other weeks, I barely see my children. I have talked about mom guilt in the past but this blog post is about the next step. Once …
International Women’s Day is celebrated yearly on March 8. I always congratulate all my female family and friends. As I was getting ready to write the post for this week, I realized I didn’t know much of the history behind it. Before getting into this year’s theme which is shedding the spotlight on biases that …
I didn’t want to let February go by without highlighting a Black physician but this month almost got away from me! On this last day and hour of February, I want to introduce you to Dr. Rebecca Lee Crumpler. I hope you already knew about her but I didn’t. She is recognized for being the …

I don’t know about you but the first week of 2022 was a bit more exciting than what I was hoping for. As usual, I was glad I wrote a bunch of inspiring posts because I was all ready to quit 2022 three days into it. Whenever I felt down or hopeless, I just re-read …
