My advice to Black girls everywhere: whenever you find yourself in a room where there aren't a lot of people who look like you — be it a classroom, or a boardroom, or a courtroom — remember that you have an entire community in that room with you, all of us cheering you on.

Thinking: the talking of the soul with itself.
@xchristineschumann @jaydaiye

This past week I have no words to explain the goodness the lord has shown in this country. He has opened my heart to just simply to be in the moment and remember that a moment can change your life forever. I have got to reunite with some incredible humans that without them I probably wouldn’t be where I am today. Getting to spend some time with my birth mom and biological brother was one of those never forget moments. Getting to travel with my Dad was a big highlight of my trip. He is the one that brought me home to America and we got to back since then and revisit. Spending time with the children @therainingseason was oh so special to me. They have taught me so much to never lose faith in who are God is. Also photographing different faces of light and here some of there stories will be a passion of mine for a long time. I know that there is still so much more I have yet to see, but where ever I go I want God to lead me and use me like never before and I know that’s what he did on this trip. /Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!

In this wasteland where I'm Livin'
@jaydaiye

I first messaged Kelsey on Instagram awhile back because I thought her Instagram feed was just the cutest and herself was just a rare light I had to get know. We kept on messaging each other back and said that one day we were gonna meet up and hang/do a shoot. Well today was that day and we finally got to UNITE in person. Guys the power of social media is so amazing, Just sending one encouraging message to someone and building strong relationships with positive people can be done here on Instagram or any social media. Do great things with what you have. Now Kelsey is going off to college to do so many great things. We will defiantly keep staying connected and will for sure see each other again soon! which I can't hardly can't wait for. #thepowerofsocialmedia #useitforgood #buildrelationships
