Our grandparents prayed, our parents prayed, and God made a way. Getting into med school and going with my sister is literally defying ALL odds. To God be the glory, great things He has done and will do. #SpartanMD #Day1 #MSUCHM #whitecoatceremony #melanindoc #womeninmedicine #naija #esangirls #ososeetheworld #DrOboh #joy #blackgirlmagic #melaninmonday #anakaraprint #africanprint (at Michigan State University - College Of Human Medicine)

Monday mood: own it✨ • This weekend was rough for me. Lost a trailblazing mentor unexpectedly, had a weird experience in my new town, watched the happenings in Charlottesville via social media...bad things happen and it sucks. We do what we can to speak out and advocate for ourselves and those that are (actually) oppressed. But it's important to remember that in the midst of all the bad, good is still happening. Today is a new day and tomorrow will be too. Own each day. Be better. Be intentional. Be a light. Love you and here if you need encouragement. Thankful for those who encouraged me this weekend💗 • Shot from #MyKindOfBeautiful #MKOB up on my site (link in my bio) #melaninmonday #love #selflove #spreadlove #newday #motivation #portraits

TRANSIT I O N S. Transitions happen Bittersweet feels in my chest Progress has a name • I've been playing with hiakus recently and came up with this one to describe my current state of emotions. Just moved to a new city in a state that is nothing like my sunny home and it's been rough. Ironic since I've been trying to leave LA for half my life 😅 I wanted to appreciate home more. I do now LOL. But there's so much beauty in seasons of transition! It means change is coming, you're moving forward and not remaining the same (hopefully bettering yourself). I'm excited for the woman I'm becoming. Half way thru my 25th year (happy half birthday to me?) and I'm doing everything I dreamed I would. God is good🙏🏾 • Saw this wall in Amsterdam and asked my sis @0n0m33zy to capture the vision I had in my head since she lives in my head anyways lol thanks boothang💗

Be S T I LL • I've been running myself ragged lately, packing, trying to see and spend time with as many friends as possible (driving so many miles and goodness the gas runneth out 😓). Yesterday, I woke up so worn out. I opened my devotional and the title was Stillness Before God by @joycemeyers • I realized that I forgot to be still. I lost some of my peace because my schedule was so unbalanced and maannn it felt horrible..I hadn't given myself a second to rest and more importantly, I wasn't spending time seeking God. When I tell you I was all emotional walking into @shepherdchurch feeling depleted and tired, but I walked out of there REFRESHED from the kind words of a dear friend who listened and loved on me, to the worship that wrecked me, to the sermon that challenged me...God is faithful. I almost didn't go because I was afraid of falling asleep during the service but He carried me and filled me and helped me clear my hectic Sunday schedule (aside from a sweet engagement session) to get some R&R. Hallelujah🙌🏾 • In New York with @williams.reecet 📸 in a custom made Ankara two-piece thought up by me and created by #IglessBabaOfCrenshaw lol

When you know that whether or not things work out the way you'd like, God is still good and oh so faithful🤗💁🏾💃🏿 • Caught swinging my hair back and forth by @0n0m33zy while in Barcelona ✨ • #OniAndOsoSeeTheWorld #ososeetheworld #Barcelona #arcdetriomf #Spain #seetheworld #sheisnotlost #wegotoo #travelnoire #travelblog #soulsociety #carefreeblackgirl #blackgirlmagic #essencetravels #GodIsGood #protectivestyles #kinkytwists #selflove #melanin #liveauthentic #happy #latepost

Set yourself free from negativism. Change your thoughts and perspective to positive ones because you know that God will work things out for your good, no matter what comes your way✨ • My take away from my @joycemeyer devotional this morning.
