Hi guys, I’m baaaack. 😅

If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I've been talking about having a rough couple of weeks. And it’s not letting up. It's a lot better but I’m still going through it. If you know what I mean, lol.

Seeing we are over halfway through the year, I thought I would do an updated “Currently I am”.

Thinking

About how fast the year has gone by, how hard AND rewarding it has been. How can your best year also be the worst year? omg!

Dealing

With weight issues. I am at the biggest size I have ever been and I’ve been feeling so shitty about it. I am currently working on shedding it but it's been so hard, I've had to confront my relationship with food. Especially because eating became one of my stress relievers and you already know this year has BEEN stressful.

But ya, we move. Literally, because that's the only way the weight will. Lmao

Excited

About our new home. As you already know we moved into a new space. It's bigger and has a garage that I can turn into my office/studio and an entire huuuuuuge backyard. I can turn some of it into a garden and have that become my new coping mechanism.

There's so much to do and to buy, but I’m so excited to make this our home.

Working

On so much. But my biggest project right now is myself. I feel like I’m transitioning, intentionally, but faster than I'd like to. And I’m feeling the growing pains, extremely.

I have to decide the lifestyle I want and that includes my work. I mean, I am thankful for the growth in my career but I’m busier than I have ever been, my to do list is never ending. So like, is this how busy I want to be? No. So that's what I’m currently working on. I’m saying no to a lot of work, and only taking work that aligns with us. I’m delegating more. I’m firing clients who are a pain, left, right and centre.

I am taking control again.

Learning

To give myself more credit. To celebrate myself more. I noticed that sometimes I don’t even celebrate an achievement because I have wanted it so long it already became mine. So by the time I realise that I have achieved that thing, I don’t applaud myself enough. I need to stop that.

Watching

European shows. I have been watching so many shows that aren’t from the US and realise how much I have missed. Lol.

Lately I’ve been binging a french show “Call My Agent” on Netflix and have been loving it. I love shows set around running an agency or magazine. I’m obsessed with that genre of shows.

Listening

To anyone who makes music for that Sunday, in your loft, with plants and natural light bashing in vibe. Haha.

I’ve been listening to Emawk, Naji, Rum.Gold, Elaine, Giveon and my usual on repeat - Jhene Aiko, Khelani, Kiana Lede, Snoh Alegra.

Reading

Tweets. Since my last book, which was a crime thriller (loved it), I haven’t been able to decide what I want to read next. I’ll go book shopping soon.

Obsessed with

Fashion content. I love watching Fashion YouTubers & Instagrammers. I’ve been binging a lot of that too.

Also because I have collaborated with a local store to bring you fashion content this September. Excited to create again.

Worried

About everyone getting sick, dying from Covid-19. I’m worried about the future for women. Black people. Black women. I’m worried about all the injustices happening in the world. Will it get better? How can it get better? Genuine question.

Looking forward

To the rest of my life. Whatever I decide to do, I know it will be great. Because I am.

Enjoying

My family and friends. I’m appreciating time spent with them more. Which has inspired me to intentionally be a better friend and sibling.

Annoyed

By racists, misogynists, pick mes, politics and politicians, the justice system, men. Patriarchy. Religion.

Proud

Of everyone doing their thing. Excelling even with these difficult circumstances.

But most importantly, I am proud of myself.

How are you guys doing?
