Birthday Came and Went

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! I'm excited that today was my birthday! I'm extremely grateful to God for being alive and enjoying time with my family. I didn't plan anything elaborate this year. Truthfully, I wasn't much in the mood to go out with my mask tightly stuck to my face as I try to enjoy time dining out with a restricted number of friends and family members. Instead I spent my day indulging in Japanese food and cheesecake at home. Life has been really busy lately so I've tried my best to rest and relax today. Chronic ankle issues has me limping around the house and pulling out old braces. My husband is gearing up for barber school so we've been filling out forms and trying to organize lists of supplies. We've also been working super hard on launching social media content for our boutique. So next time you're on Instagram, feel free to follow our boutique page WealthRaceClothing. It's still under construction, so it's not finished just yet. On top of that, holiday break is over for our kids. BACK TO VIRTUAL LEARNING we go! The kids in our school district have been physically headed back to school in masks, but my pre-schooler will be finishing his year at home doing it virtually. Even though 2020 was the start of a lot of stress relating to the virtual learning, we're still a feeling a bit overstretched trying to finish off this school year in 2021. We will persevere though! I plan on us having more quality family time, and building up ourselves to be the best versions of ourselves as this year moves forward. I'm putting together a plethora of new content as well. Thank you to everyone that has been actively supporting this blog! It means a lot and as we bulldoze through the rest of this month there will be great new reading content in store!

What's Wrong With Black Women?

         Many people don't like labels. They say they don't like to be categorized. I listened to an interview of one of my former childhood role models Raven Symone and she discussed how she didn't feel like an African American fit who she was. She discussed how being categorized made her feel limited. This comment sparked controversy as well as other racial commentary she has made in the last couple of years. However, I pondered if I was offended. At first, I immediately was offended because all my ears heard was that she doesn't feel like she's a black person. After all, she publicly identified as black at the convenience of black households supporting her movies, clothes, and other Disney ventures. Then, I thought about what else she said and I realized I don't like labels either. I don't like the categories America shove blacks in or the stereotypes that follow. These labels are the only mainstream exposure our white and Hispanic counterparts know abou

Money Monday 💲💲💲

Everyone needs it, but everyone uses it differently! Today, we're discussing different types of money personalities. The way you perceive your finances affects your children, so financial literacy is overly significant. Money Hoarders just have to hold on to every cent. These individuals take pride in saving and budgeting their income. Money Monks take a moral standpoint on their funds. They don't want their amount of money earned to turn them away from their spiritual beliefs. "Money is the root of all evil," for money monks. Spenders like to throw all their hard earned money away. They are driven by impulse, and their wallets reflect it! Avoiders don't care for the responsibilities that come with money management. Lack of knowledge and confidence in their income causes them to be apathetic about their financial state. Amassers love obtaining wealth and multiplying it. They have entrepreneurial spirits, and desire to make their money into generational wealth. Wer

Back 2 School Expenses You Didn’t Think About

 With schools back in, a lot of parents have been buying supplies and clothes to prepare for the upcoming school year. However, pencils and glue sticks may not be as expensive as you think compared to these items. Here’s a list of school expenses that it wouldn’t hurt to be prepared for: 1.) School Pictures: If you have multiple kids in school, this easily adds up to a nice amount of money. Although they have a basic package, purchasing two or three will certainly add up. Not to mention most schools have fall, spring, and class pictures taken. By the end of the year, you’ll be surprised how much you spent on pictures alone. 2.) Field Trips: It’s free to sign for, but it’s not free for them to go. Field Trips are a fun interactive way for kids to experience what they’re learning about but it comes at a cost. Varying by location and gas spent, field trips end up costing parents significantly as well. 3.) Teacher Appreciation Day I know it’s optional to participate and there’s even the op
