Beauties of the Month - Mary C.
I had my mammogram as usual in June of 2012. The results came back and everything was good. Later that year in early December, I casually ran my hand across my right breast and I felt a lump so the next morning, I scheduled an appointment with my doctor. On my visit, he said he wanted to schedule another mammogram and ultrasound. Two days later, the woman who was performing the mammogram told me she would be right back and came back with the Chief Radiologist. I didn't have just 1 lump, but I had another lump forming underneath the lump that I found. A biopsy was done immediately the next day.
5 Ways to Educate Yourself Without Going Back to School
One of the most awesome gifts that life gives us is an abundance of opportunities to better ourselves. We all know that we should welcome and embrace every chance to learn. With all of that, when we talk about learning people automatically jump to the assumption that learning can only be done in a classroom with heavy textbooks and a whiteboard full of notes. Nope...that’s totally not true. Learning can happen anywhere! There are so many fantastic ways to further educate yourself and not one of them forces you to go back to school.
Why You Should Pamper Yourself Unapologetically
Taking time away from the daily rigors of life should be a requirement for everybody. No one can just go, go, go without, eventually, starting to break down. You don’t want to have that happen to you, so preventative maintenance is key to minimizing that. We take on so much that it’s sometimes hard to let go...even for a short time. But, it’s a must!
Black girls are truly magical. Our melanin is powerful due to our history of resilience and strength as a people. The world may try really hard to keep black women down but we know we will always rise up again. Somewhere in this world a young black woman may not realize her worth or see herself as beautiful. If this is you, get your headphones ready because this playlist is for you. Below is a list of songs that will help you love the skin you're in. They each celebrate body positivity, black culture, and being a black woman. Being black is a blessing. So kick back or dance your butt off to the following tunes!

So here are four business owners who are giving back to their communities
It’s about time for the sisters to make themselves their priority. Women are consummate caregivers and they are known to put their needs on the back burner. While it’s awesome to show so much love and concern for others, it’s extremely important to have that same love and care for yourself. If you are like many, making the commitment to yourself could be a challenge, but trust that it will be totally worth it.
The Benefits of Saying "No" and Creating Boundaries
“No” is a complete sentence. N-O-Period. These two letters pack a powerful punch. For countless women, the inability to say ‘no’ results in fatigue and other complex outcomes. Early on in our childhood, we’re taught unrealistic expectations for how girls should behave. Over time, these well-meaning principles, which were instilled in us, spiral into incessant people-pleasing. Why is it so easy to cater to the needs of others while our own needs and deepest desires go unfulfilled? One answer is our inability to communicate boundaries in our personal and professional lives.

Owning Your Phenomenal Woman Status
Auntie Maya penned one of the most amazing and real poems of all time when she blessed the world with “Phenomenal Woman”. This ode to the essence of our “Black Girl Magic” still resonates in the hearts of Sistas all around the planet. We will always reflect on these fabulous words that made the world know, what we always knew: We are ALL. OF. THAT. In homage to Auntie Maya and to celebrate Izzy and Liv being on a mission of promoting positivity among black women for 3 years (our anniversary was April 2020, Y’all!), let’s live the words of Auntie Maya.
