How long are you waiting before your next international trip? ••• I’m not going to lie. I’ve been looking at tickets to Colombia. The only thing holding me back is flying there 😩. ••• I’m fairly certain the last plane I was on is where I caught COVID and honestly my body hasn’t been the same. ••• I definitely will get back on a plane, but I’m not sure when — I’m low key SCURRED 😩. For now, San Diego is my forever vacation 😂. P.s: I tagged some dope hotels and hostels in Cartagena. Click the pic ❤️.

A huge CONGRATULATIONS to my bestie @waasworld4 on her engagement. I’m so happy that you found such an amazing CAPRICORN 😉. ••• I’m even more happy that you never settled. You’ve always known what you wanted and even when people told you your “requirements” were too high you held out and LOOK AT GOD. ••• I saw how happy your mom was at your engagement and I know your dad was in heaven having a whole party! ••• I love you so much and I can’t wait to have more nieces and nephews 🥰.

This California heat has been unreal -- I've basically been living at the beach. ... Thankfully, I've been using my @Coola Pina Colada Sunscreen to make sure that my skin stays nourished and UVA/UVB protected. #sponsored ... I enjoy using #Coola because its sheer and lightweight, while still antixidant rich. It also last in water for 80 minutes which is perfect for a beach head like me. More importantly, its plant-based, vegan, and reef-friendly. So, not only am I protecting my skin, but I'm also protecting my community 😃.

😃 EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT 😃 For years I’ve been saying that 2020 is going to be my best year — and although there seems to be tragedy after tragedy — it really has been personally. ••• Recently, my partner and I were able to save enough money to not only reach our savings goal, but to also move to our dream location in San Diego. And honestly, its been the best decision we’ve made all year. ••• Being a content creator it’s so important to live somewhere that inspires you and that’s what San Diego does for me. I’ve never felt as creative as I feel here, and I can’t even remember the last time I felt this level of internal PEACE.

One place you HAVE to visit when you’re in Cartagena is @cafedelmar ❤️. ••• It’s the absolute best place to watch the sunset on the Old City Wall.

When you walk through the door of opportunity, you don’t slam it shut behind you. You hold it open for others @michelleobama .

Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself.

Drop someone’s name we are still waiting on justice for! 👇🏾#blacklivesmatter We live in a crazy time, when even amidst a pandemic we are still getting killed. ••• This black man, #jacobblake , was shot in front of his kids doing absolutely NOTHING to warrant being shot. •• I’m so tired of protesting. I need a more radical change. •• I’m tired of asking for BASIC human rights. ••• We still waiting on #breonnataylor killers to be charged! 🤦🏾‍♀️😩😢 •• Sending love and light to our community.

What does beauty look like? 👇🏾 ••• •• “Beauty looks like encouragement, patience, acceptance, forgiveness, carefulness, and compassion. Beauty is spiritual and physical.”

Drop a travel destination that has a lot of black people 👇🏾 ••• Colombia has the 3rd highest population of people of African descent after Brazil and the USA. ••• P.s. Remember to support your street vendors. I try and spend the majority of my travel money with actual people. I can’t even imagine how they are coping with little to no international travel.

Drop an affirmation 👇🏾🖤💛 ••• Brown skin girl, skin just like pearls.

Shoutout to all the women learning to love their bodies because that sh*t is hard and I’m proud of you! ••• Drop something you love about your body 👇🏾 ••• I love my thigh/butt ratio 😂

How are you relaxing your mind, body, and spirit ? ••• •• My new relaxation is taking naps, and riding my bike.

Black Lives Matter ✊🏾 throughout the Diaspora! ••• We have to be vigilant in our fight for equality — our actions mobilize others in different countries! ••• #blacklivesmatter #blackart

Would you believe me if I told you this is a Narco Mansion? ••• •• It’s rumored to be, and once arriving I totally believe it. •• It’s in the cut, but once you get in it’s the most beautiful and spacious mansion EVER. Literally, cannot wait to go back.
