November has been a quieter month, I needed some chill time before December started. I have some cool events coming up in December, a little heads up I like to share where I’ll be on my instagram story.
And thank you for the comments on my last few blog posts; Confessions of a British Born Jamaican & My Body Confidence Journey. I love improvised and personal posts, I always get the best responses. I feel so relieved when someone gets it, that reassurance is all I need sometimes.
Upcoming Events
Friday 1st December – Moor Hair: Made With Love Fair
Monday 4th December – BHBC (Black Hair & Beauty Chat) Social
Saturday 9th December – Master Class Media: Friendtor
Monday 11th December – #AdzviceLetsTalk ‘Men vs Women: Understanding the other side’
Saturday 16th December – SAIE: Break The Stigma – The Winter Soiree
Friday 22nd December – Ordinal Flava’s Caribbean Xmas Dinner & Dancehall
Gratitude
I have been feeling super grateful this month. A shift in my confidence has been making it that little bit easier to be grateful. The cloud is lifting, everything is looking brighter. I am able to be more appreciative, instead of dismissive. It was easier to discredit myself, now it’s easier to pat myself on the back.
I spoke on this shift in my confidence in my last post – My Body Confidence Journey
I think I have stopped putting so much pressure on myself and used that freedom to give thanks for what I have and who I have in my life.
Exciting News
I really am pushing myself out of my comfort zone this year…. I will be speaking at an event in December about my mental health and removing the stigma within the black community. I am terrified and excited all at the same time.
Music
I haven’t updated you on my current favourite tracks in while. I have been loving Kelela‘s new album and Alex Isley has been bumping through my speakers for weeks now.
Toulouse – Reach Out
Malika – Run
112 – U Already Know
Method Man & Ginuwine – Let’s Ride
Donell Jones – Pushin’
Alex Isley – About Him, On II U & Don’t/Do
Let me know how your November went and what have you got planned for December? Also if there are any events you think I might be interested in feel free to let me know.
