Philosopher and Queen Oprah Winfrey once said, “Create the highest, grandest vision possible for your life because you become what you believe.” Just let that sink in for a moment. Sidenote: Oprah always has a way of putting me in my feels and making me contemplate every decision I’ve ever made! Let’s be honest, this [...]

What Do You Want
There’s nothing like being in a place where every good emotion seems to come to you at once. For me, that place is New York. Ever since my first time going in December 2018, I can’t seem to get enough (and I’m completely fine with it). It’s the energy, the lights, the fast-paced mentality and [...]
Perfectly Made
Photo by CK Photography Can I let you in on something? Being a young adult can be tough. There's pressure from all over to achieve a certain level of perfection. I have to look “this” way, be “this” weight, act like "this" and I could go on. Constantly thinking about these things can be paralyzing [...]
My Energy. My Responsibility
Photo by CK Photography Award-winning actress Taraji P. Henson did an interview with Hot 97 in 2014 that left me shooketh. Towards the end of the interview, she dropped some wisdom that everyone should hold on to. "I surround myself with good energy cause energy is transferable. If you hang out with somebody with a [...]
Halfway There
Is it just me or do you also find it hard to believe that it’s July? Where has the time gone? During my drive home last week, I thought about how much time has passed and started freaking out a little. I thought about all the things I want to do but haven’t put a [...]
Beautifully Scarred

The Unplanned Pursuit
A passion was discovered on accident. Catherine Kent was out with a photographer friend in 2017 taking photos for her fashion blog, but the session wasn’t going as expected. After some time, Catherine felt inclined to ask her friend if she could take some photos of her and her kids since they were along for [...]
It Was All A Dream
Photo by CK Photography What do you think of when you hear the word “creative?” You may think of your elementary school art teacher, the macaroni art you used to make that your family was so proud of or a well-known artist you learned about in school. I recently had the opportunity to talk to [...]
Living Outside The Box
Neale Donald Walsch said it best. “Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.” I had a moment to myself last year where I said, “Caleb, you have to get out more.” It's easy for me to admit that I’m a creature of habit. I love a good ole fashioned routine. Wake up...work…gym...dinner...read/write...bed...repeat. Now [...]
