Alas, my big head is made for short hair lol.
What y’all think? Ngl, the body insecurities are popping out STRONG but I’m in a season of “just post the content, damn!” lol
For anyone who thinks this is a good thing, only ONE of three officers were charged. And he was charged with wanton endangerment (firing into the apartments) NOT for homicide. Not for taking an innocent life. Not for killing a Black woman.
This is a PSA to NOT LIE ON YOUR RESUME.
Yes, even actors lie about skills and this is how this young lady roller skated off Usher’s Super Bowl stage. Thankfully she’s ok but good gracious girl.
Omgah not me learning this woman is a fraud and habitually lies on God’s green(ish) internet…
But also half of y’all saying you’d do the same and now I’m even more weak.
What hurts me most about this snub is Dominique’s character portrayal…whether it was her own design or written as is…caused so much conversation on the TL not only about Stan culture but also neurodivergency. Good art should make audiences talk and she did that. A ROBBERY.
Few days ago, Parsons (1 of top fashion schools) reached out & asked if I was interested in their fashion certification program. I said yes, but I don’t have $ 4 it. Told them bout TheBlondeMisfit & my life’s work. They came back next day & offered me a full ride. Only God.
If you are a black-owned fashion brand OR designer, please submit to this post I'm doing for

. I want to highlight as many brands and people as possible:
I been MIA. Long story short I’m battling a cancer diagnosis, I welcomed my third pup Aiko, I’m prepping for surgery on the 19th and I’ve just been enjoying the quiet moments in life.
Not answering questions (unless about Aiko) but welcoming prayers. Still a hot girl, ❤️ y’all.
Things are happening in my career that I was praying and working so hard for. Nobody talks about the new type of anxiety you get once you get the thing you praying for.
Anna Wintour, Tom Ford, Virgil Abloh and countless others have walked PAST June Ambrose, who is HOSTING the red carpet on behalf of the

swooped ya girl up! I'm a Creator Manager and will be working with dope creators in the fashion & beauty space on amplifying their voices on the platform. As an entrepreneur myself, I'm hype. Again, not focused on any season but my own. Next chapter, here we go.

Lie yes but lying about roller skating when it’s USHER is like me lying and saying I know Russian and then getting involved in political negotiations lolololol
Italian Vogue's covers this month are illustrations and center around sustainability. The issue, on newsstands Jan. 7, has eight different covers. Each is a model wearing Gucci and all share the phrase: “No photo shoot production was required in the making of this issue.”

Yesterday I said goodbye to my first big girl apartment because something else was waiting for me. God has allowed for blessings to still happen during COVID, and TheBlondeMisfit officially has an office space/studio! Nothing but God, truly.
Breonna Taylor. Sandra Bland. Tony McDade. Monica Diamond. Johanna Metzger. Lexi. Serena Angelique Velázquez Ramos. Nina Pop. Helle Jae O’Regan. Say and protect our Black and Latinx women and our Trans women.

This year's BET Awards will show people that even in the midst of a global pandemic, Black people are going to still get in our creative bag. I really think we're going to see some next-level creation tonight.
#BETAwards
Also, take note how Harry is allowing Meghan to speak on her experience. He speaks on his thoughts but he's not explaining how SHE was feeling. He's letting her do that. A lot of lessons on mansplaining and giving Black women a safe space to air their grievances right here.
Y'all, CALL ME MASTERS MAMI! Done presenting my thesis and I am out! 4.0 w/ honors in a pandemic. Only God, but I am poppin' bottles (tomorrow because a girl is tired, lol) ✨🙌🏽
The fact of the matter is this, and solely this: June Ambrose has 20+ years working in fashion. She is ICONIC and has dressed all of hip-hop's elite. She ushered in a new wave of Camp and urban dressing for culture. So if she is HOSTING the awards, pay some respect.
Grabbing photos is a bit of a challenge, but Amanda Seales has worn at least two

outfits (that I've spotted thus far). Shoutout to the Black designers getting shined on tonight.

Friday was my last day at BuzzFeed. Although I never thought goodbyes would be over email, I am excited to announce my new role as Senior Beauty Editor at
@verizonmedia
's In The Know. I get to continue the convos happening in style and beauty, and can't wait to start (virtually).
I never needed Ciara’s prayer because God gave me my own 💕
10+ years of you being my best friend. However many years of us doing our thang. We were always ready for forever. Love you, my Bajan boy. 💕
A publicist hit me up today about featuring her client. She doesn't realize I remember her from almost 3 years ago when she treated me like dirt, kicked me off an event I was hosting, and then asked me to still promote the event on my social channels. Always be good to people.
Teyana's look is how you "own" your identity, even with a theme. I see subtle nods to the classic Chanel tweed skirt suits. It's masculine with the tie but these high slits and low rise give us "Faded" Teyana.
I'm anti-low rise, but I can't deny it!

Prayer besties, can your sis get some prayers?
My father - who has a history of strokes - fell on the train tracks in DC early this morning and is in the ICU.
My parents left NY on Friday so naturally I’m upset because I’m not there.
This got me low key emotional just now. 1) To be an artist and to have this moment in your career after working hard is so beautiful, but 2) the culture loved Pop. We knew him. It was different.
Last week, I found myself saying I was "stressed." This week, I said I am "under divine pressure because I'm birthing something great." Narrative shift.
I didn’t buy new clothes last year because I’ve been too conscious about my weight. Instead of saying, “Jame, your body has been through surgerIES and this is her,” I kept beating myself up for what I looked like.
This year I’m wearing the clothes. And if she’s chubby…good 😭
@TheCosmeticLane
See when they say plastic surgery I feel they’re talking about going under the knife. They not talking about a little flip here, lipo there, botox everywhere lol
Cicely Tyson as Annalise's mother in HTGAWM, combing her hair, revealing she actually started the fire that killed her pedophile brother (who'd molested Annalise) is one of the most moving scenes of tv I've seen. Rest In Peace Cicely🕊
Let me tell y’all something. No COVID, no hater, no financial blockers, no nothing is gonna stop God from doing what he’s going to do. Nothing can stop God from moving on your behalf.
2020 is still my year.
None of this is to boast, although I will say I am damn proud of myself. This is to show whoever that if God calls u, it doesn’t matter what anyone else says. He will make a way. He will give u a ladder to the window if man shuts the door. Then he’ll let u own the building.
I know a lot of people are sharing that Lauren London interview around but I also want to give my flowers to Angie. The way she handled that interview and asked very intentional questions is the mark of a strong reporter and empathetic interviewer. 💕
The passing of Mama Cax is really hurting my soul RN. You really can be here today and gone tomorrow. Her life was impactful and full of purpose, and I am happy that I had a chance to see and meet her in this lifetime.

They’re trained to help rescue you / human partner in multiple types of situations. I can imagine there being an incident where balance is key so the dog doing this exercise trains it to move off motion and not sight.
NEWS: Ya girl got her own beauty live show on Yahoo and ITK! ✨💄 Every Monday at 1 PM EST I’ll dish my unfiltered thoughts on products, brands, and the latest news happening in the world of beauty. Tune in, get your life, shop and slay with me!
Hi misfits,
I am suffering some pretty serious health issues right now and can use every prayer possible. Being in NY with no family is making this hard, but I know I have a strong support system by my side. Love you all ❤️
I'm not slowing down. Need some Black beauty brands to support? I got you right here. Did you know that African Americans make up 13% of the US but we only account for 7% of businesses? Nah, FUBU all the way.
@KekePalmer
We gotta make sure you solid. And just because you was solid yesterday don't mean you solid today. IT'S LOVEEEEEE, if we ain't love you we wouldn't test you!
I take a lot of Ls in private. This am, I was pulled off an event i was asked 2 host because they “doubted I could sell tickets” and that it would be “unfair to expect that of me based on following.”
Normally things don’t phase me anymore but this one stings today.
This week I got booked as background for a Netflix film and got 3 callbacks: 1 for a feature film and 2 for theater.
It's happening, y'all.
I could get none of the gigs and I'll still thank God.
This Is why I laugh when people talk about oversaturation in industries. Just cuz there’s a lot of ____ doesn’t mean they are all innovating, creating or doing something unique. Retailer don’t mean designer. Blogger don’t mean journalist. Cute don’t mean fashionable.
This is why I don’t apply the Black designer title to any ole Black owned retailer. Buying something wholesale + reselling it is not designing it. Releasing it on a certain cadence does not make it a “collection”
Us at 18 broke vs. us at 30 taking flights to get away 😭💕
Feliz cumpleaños, Papi. Yo voy a pasar mi vida contigo para siempre. I pray everyone knows a friendship and a love like ours. From best friends at Howard university to walking down the aisle soon, happy birthday!!
I’ll share much more once we get the official photos but yesterday I married my best friend at my church
@Ebcconnects
. Thankful that the Blood still works and that Black love is alive and well 💕💕💕💕
Next year, we’ll have the big celebration with eerybody!!!
Last week, I wrote in an assignment for school that I’d love to meet Vera Wang because she’s sick at market segmentation.
Just got an email from her publicist today to interview her next week. Like fam, go get y’all’s blessings.
