Happy December, Y’all! It’s hard to believe but here we are at the end of another year. As you begin to reflect on your year and assess your wins, I hope you are feeling accomplished and encouraged that you will accomplish any remaining goals. Take these words from Zora Neale Hurston with you into the month and finish the year strong. “Mama exhorted her children at every opportunity to ‘jump at the sun’. We might not land on the sun, but at least we would get off the ground.” Don’t be afraid to jump this month, y’all. Your big dreams are waiting.

Channel your inner Zora with these affirmations this month:
✨ I do not weep at the world; I am too busy sharpening my oyster knife.
✨ I am unapologetically ME.
✨ I take will take every opportunity to jump at the sun.
✨ I can and I will and who gon check me. 💁🏾‍♀️

Shout out to my Young King, Joel, pictured.

Happy Monday, Y’all! Last week was a test. A test of my faith, my patience, and my gangster. Right when I felt like I had gotten back into the groove of the school year, a huge and unexpected shift threw everything off track. Being a teacher is hard. Parenting is really hard. Doing both in a pandemic is seemingly impossible. So as I go into this new week, with its new challenges that are already proving to be complex; I do so reminding myself who tf I AM. And I know I got this. All of it.

💪🏾 I am brave enough to embrace my true power.
💪🏾 I am no longer afraid of the uncertain; I am fully equipped to overcome any challenge.
💪🏾 I was divinely chosen for such a time as this.
💪🏾 I am powerful and limitless. I always win.

I’m taking these affirmations of P O W E R with me this week. I hope they work for you too.

Happy Fall, Y’all!

My favorite season is absolutely summer. Give me 90°, a beach, and a book and I am beyond content! So the arrival of fall and its cooler temperatures and shorter days aren’t the most appealing to me. And please keep the pumpkin spice everything 😒. But I do love the changing colors of fall, the falling leaves, and their beautiful reminder to let things go. So I welcome this new season of shedding and change. Because I know that on the other side, there’s abundant growth. I invite you to repeat these affirmations to release what no longer serves in this season:

🍂 I release my attachment to everything that no longer serves me. I refuse to let anything nor anyone hold me back - not even me!
🍂 I am making space for more success to come into my life. I let go of my excuses.
🍂 I release my desire to be perfect. I already have enough and do enough. I AM more than enough.
🍂 I release my need to control the future and allow the best to come.

Happy Saturday, Y’all! It’s been quiet in this corner of the social media world because returning to school in a panny has been trying to kick my ass. Key word, trying; because A F F I R M A T I O N S and M E D I T A T I O N and B O U N D A R I E S. 💪🏾💪🏾 And when I bring these babies into my classroom on Monday for some additional love and life (and air purification ‼️), we’ll be even more G R O U N D E D and my students and I will be sure to T H R I V E. Teachers, do you have plants in your classroom? Visit patternedunion.com to order custom planters with your school colors. Link in bio.

Happy Monday, Y’all! And I can’t believe I’m already saying this, but happy August! As an educator and mother of a first grader, for me the start of August signals the winding down of summer and the beginning of a new and promising school year. As both an artist and educator, I seek to C R E A T E pathways for students, teachers, families, and communities to D I S R U P T systems and H E A L lineages. So much of what I create in the month of August is geared toward the E M P O W E R M E N T and L I B E R A T I O N of youth who have historically been underserved and miseducated, the educators who serve them, and the families who raise them. I hope you’ll continue to rock with me here A N D where my art, education, and activism intersect.

Happy Wellness Wednesday, Y’all! Let’s get personal for a moment. Anyone else deal with anxiety? 🙋🏾‍♀️Anyone else have to be intentional about imagining the best case scenario instead of the worst? 🙋🏾‍♀️ Anyone else sometimes have a hard time getting going because of racing thoughts and worry? 🙋🏾‍♀️

Anxiety has journeyed with me for as long as I can remember. I was an anxious child. I’m an anxious adult. Some of the things that are especially helpful for me in managing the anxiety that tends to linger just below the surface are daily walks at sunrise, meditation, mindfully caring for my plant family, and maybe most of all - a consistent affirmation practice.

Audre Lorde, the champion of R A D I C A L S E L F - C A R E, reminds us that anxiety is a liar. Take her words with you, take charge of your wellness and your self-care, and know that you are bigger than fear, more than your anxiety, and you got this. Always.

And here are a few more affirmations that are helpful for me:

🌱 I AM deliberate and afraid of N O T H I N G
🌱 At this moment, right here and now, A L L i s W E L L
🌱 I L E T G O of all the things that make me anxious
🌱 I am relaxed and peaceful because I T R U S T the process of life

Happy Monday, Y’all! Be reminded on this Monday morning that you are a reflection of your creator. That your spirit, strengthened by that of your ancestors, is indestructible. And with that understanding concentrate on vibrating higher and leaving a positive legacy that bears great fruit for yourself, your lineage, your community, and the entirety of humanity.

Some affirmations for the week to keep you connected to the omnipresence of your creator and your own limitlessness:

🌱 I AM the seed of the free, and I know it. I intend to bear great fruit.
🌱 I AM a reflection of my creator.
🌱 My spirit is indestructible.
🌱 I AM creating a legacy of ___ (fill in the blank with whatever you are seeking to create - think BIG)
