Tonight I made some callaloo. Curry pumpkin with green beans will be later this week. I love pumpkin season!!!
Pro tip: If you’re in the US, butternut squash tends to be in season more frequently. Use this for your curry pumpkin. Tastes the same. #Trinifoods #thrusaleizeyes
For Safia
Take out your plaits;
Brush it out;
Comb it tru;
Wash it good.
Massage your scalp;
Let the water drip down;
It feels good right?
Shake your crown like the school children do on a hot summer afternoon under the sprinkler;
Laugh like your curls jump;
Love your crown.
Water it with grace.
Wear your crown proud my beautiful child. #safiamoments #atribeformoms
Year after year, I continued believing in myself and kept trying. As time passed, I could see myself getting into a grove. Balance is essential for me.

It’s safe to say I buy tea for fun. Today’s blend was an orange spice herbal tea, packet of matcha powder, and a spoonful of honey.
I like boiling the water pretty hot and let the orange spice tea bag seep for a good 5 minutes with the honey. I add the matcha green tea powder at the end. I got mine from Trader Joe’s. It comes with 7 individual packets.
If it’s too cool, pop it back in the microwave for a minute. It’s yummy and warm. Very soothing for my current muscle aches. #lovingme #thrusaleizeyes
I love going to Carib Mask.
If we are food blogging, then let’s eat at Caribbean Grill in Fayetteville, NC. A real treat every time I stop by their establishment.
A look into Safia’s one year photo session. My sweet girl.

Labor Day 2018. Working on a Juneteenth holiday. I got a couple of other projects I’m following up on as well. Cheers to a safe and happy holiday.
Full days most weeks recently. Last week, for example, I became a member of the State Executive Committee (SEC) for North Carolina Democrats. The next evening was a great session with some Wake County Democrats about diversity and inclusion.
I grew up with a mother who is extremely patient and understanding. These are ultimate mom goals. She is still this way, so I know it is possible to consistently express these traits. #healthyrelationshipsrock #atribeformoms
Do you even follow your own advice?
I try my best to.
Go back to the water. Stretch. Breath. This is part of my reflection. The light comes back to heal what the darkness stole. #thrusaleizeyes
