New on the ‘Gram

Quotes are nice and all, but the best way to honor Quotes are nice and all, but the best way to honor MLK’s legacy is to continue pursuing racial justice and equality in our country. We have a long way to go, and I’ll admit — it can be exhausting at times, and there have been plenty of days when I’ve felt discouraged. However, we must continue the work to make this world a better place for the next generation.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This year, I encourage you to make a monthly donation to an organization doing anti-racist work. You can swipe 👉🏾 to see a list of suggested orgs to donate to and find a group that aligns best with what you’re passionate about!
Having the laziest Sunday around here 😴 Needed Having the laziest Sunday around here 😴 Needed a day of sweats, Netflix, and the couch after last week (and we binged all of Bling Empire already, btw). Some big changes are happening behind the scenes, and I can’t wait to share more when the time comes!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Also, just wanted to say thank you for all of your kind words yesterday ❤️ Slowly but surely getting back to everyone! It’s ok to be yourself apologetically. The internet might have a few bad apples, but the opportunity to connect with other folks that never really fit in isn’t lost on me. Keep on being a unicorn, my friends 🦄

Hi, my name is Alicia, and I wear wigs 👋🏾 , Hi, my name is Alicia, and I wear wigs 👋🏾 , and for some godawful reason, I have been harassed about this and trolled nonstop after the #AmplifyMelanatedVoices movement last June.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The constant DMs. The comments I get on photos. It’s been pretty nonstop, and it’s also pretty evident that the bulk of these messages and comments are coming from non-Black people. I’ve spent my whole life having non-Black people tell me what to do with my Afro-textured hair, and I’m over it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As a Black woman, you’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t with your hair. I grew up relaxing it because back in the ’90s, natural hair was seen as unkempt. Relaxing my hair damaged it beyond repair, and about ten years ago, I did the big chop and worked towards healthier hair.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now I’m being damned for wearing a wig, which is a protective hairstyle that MANY Black women wear. Kind of baffling that one self-righteous white woman came in my DMs and said that I “wanted to be white” because I wore wigs. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Wigs have *been* a part of Black culture for a long time. My hairstyle does not make me more or less Black. Just like the music I listen to, or the way that I speak does not make me less Black.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So please, can y’all get over yourselves and just start a GOMI thread about me again if you hate my hair that much? Cause imma keep doing me. Y’all can hate on me from OUTSIDE of my IG community. xx
Isn’t it an incredible feeling to manifest your Isn’t it an incredible feeling to manifest your dreams and see them come true? 🙌🏾 I can’t wait to fill you in on what’s happening behind the scenes here, but in the meantime, let’s appreciate this @sezane flowy floral dress 🙌🏾 I envision wearing this to a lot of winery trips in the spring after the ‘Rona 💉! And don’t ever stop dreaming big!

I might not get my annual warm-weather getaway thi I might not get my annual warm-weather getaway this year, but I was perfectly ok staying put in good old Virginia this weekend, wearing my new @sailtosable x @stylecharade dress from the resort collection, styled by the incredible @jenniferlake!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I adore Jenn and all of her designs this year, and I love that this dress makes me feel like I’m in the Caribbean 🌴 Luckily, this dress is timeless, will never go out of style, and will look perfect in Virginia for now, and a tropical destination once it’s safe!

Week 2 of 2021 🙌🏾 And it’s pretty evident Week 2 of 2021 🙌🏾 And it’s pretty evident that we’ll ALL need a little bit more self-care, amirite! Tell me what you’re doing or planning to do to take a bit more care of yourself this year in the comments below! 👇🏾
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This week, I’m pretty proud that:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- I invested in a chiropractor. I noticed I was having back issues for a while, and it’s good that I now know what’s causing them, and I’m finally getting them fixed!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Had a great convo with my financial trainer (I use @thefinancialgym!) and set out a plan to make 2021 my most successful year possible!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Going to bed early the past three nights and reading before bed!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- This sounds silly LOL but using The Bachelor as an excuse to log off work at a reasonable hour (and not worry about anything work-related!), grab a glass of wine, and watch mindless TV and chat with you guys about it! But also, I’m on Team Abigail now and forever 😂
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let me know what self-care you’ve been practicing this week! 📷 by @foodphotographer & a glimpse of me practicing some self-care this weekend at @tidesinn!
