I am an LGBTQ+ content creator who values and embodies body positivity, inclusivity and authenticity while discussing real and raw topics candidly. As a Black lesbian in an interracial marriage I have a unique perspective that allows me to connect with and relate to people across multiple demographics. As a soon to be, first time mom, my platform promotes acceptance and visibility while highlighting an active lifestyle, focusing on self love, family life and parenting.
I love working with brands who value diversity and whose messaging is centered on inclusion. Past partnerships have included: Bubly, First Response, buybuy BABY, Sweaty Betty, and CVS Pharmacy.

Weโre starting the journey to Baby Number 2!! Kim has her consultation with @rgiohio on Friday! Same sex couples have to do a little extra planning to expand their family. So weโre starting to plan for the next Baby Connelly! Kim and I have two vials left at California @cryobank from the donor we used to have Breslyn. IUI is less expensive than IVF but itโs also less effective. I did two rounds of IUI unsuccessfully before switching to IVF. Kim is on my insurance which fortunately has fertility coverage, so IVF is covered. Most people who have fertility coverage have to do 6 rounds of IUI before IVF is covered (if at all). With @progyny we donโt have that stipulation! So we have decided to do IVF again but Kim is going to carry this time! I had such a good experience with both @progyny, @cryobank and @rgiohio that weโre keeping everything the same! The plan is to do the retrieval this year and freeze her embabies until weโre ready to transfer next year! Weโre both so excited to give Breslyn a sibling! ๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ฑ๐ผ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ ๐๐ผ ๐๐ฒ๐ฒ/๐ธ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ผ๐บ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ ๐ป๐ฒ๐ ๐ ๐ง๐ง๐ ๐ท๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐ป๐ฒ๐? ๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐พ๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ ๐ฑ๐ผ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ต๐ฎ๐๐ฒ? ๐ธ by: @deemyersphotography . . . #tryingtoconceive #ttcjourney #teamtwomoms #ivfcommunity #ivfsuccess #lgbt #ttcsupport #lesbianmoms #twomomfamily #ivfjourney #twomoms #ttctribe #lgbtfamily #lovesmakesafamily #samesexfamily #samesexparents #honestmotherhood #ivfwarrior #twomomsquad #lovewins #ivfstory #samesexcouple #lgbtq #rainbowfamily #ttc #ivfsuccessstory #ivfmom #ttcstory #queerfamily #twomomfamily

I love Pride Month but I hate it at the same time. LGBTQ+ people like me were classified as having a mental disorder by the World Health Organization until May 17, 1990. LGBTQ+ people like me couldnโt marry the person they love (if they were the same sex) in most of the US until June 26, 2015. LGBTQ+ people like me can still be fired in 27 states for being LGBTQ+. LGBTQ+ people like me in Florida (starting July 1, 2023) can be dying and medical providers will be allowed to deny service or refuse to perform certain procedures based on their moral or ethical beliefs. (Protections of Medical Conscience Act) LGBTQ+ people like me in Uganda, can face life in prison because acts of homosexuality are now criminalized. (Anti-Homosexuality Bill 2023) So while I love Pride Monthโฆ the community, the joy, the unity and the feeling of being free to live out loudโฆ I wish we didnโt need one. ๐๐ฎ๐ป ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐น๐ฎ๐๐ฒ? ๐๐ณ ๐๐ผ, ๐ฆ๐๐๐ฅ๐!

I celebrate Pride because I remember what came before it. Because I remember shame... I remember inequality... I remember the opposite of Pride. And so we celebrate! We come together to... Celebrate growth... To celebrate all we are capable of being... To celebrate love, knowing that every good thing starts there. We celebrate Pride because LOVE HAS ALWAYS BEEN AND WILL ALWAYS BE WORTH CELEBRATING. ๐๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฒ ๐ ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ต! ๐โค๏ธ Incredible photos by: @brittanygidley . . . #pride #lesbian #lesbianlove #lesbiansofig #loveislove #gaygirls #pride #lgbt #lgbtq #happypridemonth #lovewins #lesbiancouple #mrsandmrs #equality #equalrights #queerfamily #happypride #samesexparents #samesexfamily #samesexcouple #team2moms #lgbtfamily #samesexfamily #lesbiansofig #explorepage #lgbtrights #rainbowfamily #pridemonth #itgetsbetter #pridemonth2023
She may not remember these momentsโฆ but I will. Yesterday, I took our daughter to the Cleveland Zoo for the first time while Umma was at work and weโre planning a family trip to Disney this fall! People have asked why weโre going when Breslyn is still so small. My answer is they might not be memories for her. But theyโre still memories for us! Iโll never forget her giggle the first time she touched a goat. It was like music to my ears. I left the sound on so it can be music to yours too. That sound is what makes it worth it. ๐ช๐ผ๐๐น๐ฑ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐ ๐๐ป๐๐ถ๐น ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ธ๐ถ๐ฑ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ผ๐น๐ฑ ๐ฒ๐ป๐ผ๐๐ด๐ต ๐๐ผ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐บ๐ฎ๐ธ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐บ๐ฒ๐บ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ ๐ป๐ผ๐? . . . #explorewithkids #adventureswithkids #familyadventure #travelwithkids #travelwithbaby #bringthekids #havebabywilltravel #motherhood #thisismotherhood #blackmamas #firsttimemom #newmom #IGmotherhood #honestmotherhood #motherhoodjourney #motherhoodthroughinstagram #realmotherhood #lesbianmom #lgbtfamily #queerfamily #motherhoodunplugged #momlife #momsofig #momsofinsta #blackmoms #blackmothers #blackmama #vacationwithkids #childhoodmemories #childhood
Reminder: While weโre all arguing over Target, our kids are still being gunned down in schools. In 2023, the K-12 database has recorded 89 gun-related incidents at a school so far, nearly one for every day this year.โจโจIt finds that through March 29th, there have been 74 people killed or injured in schools this year alone, not including the shooters. That includes 18 people fatally shot, and 56 more who were injured. ๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ ๐๐ฒโ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ผ๐๐ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฐ๐ต๐ถ๐น๐ฑ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ป ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐? ๐ฆ๐๐๐ฅ๐ ๐ง๐๐๐ฆ ๐ ๐๐ฆ๐ฆ๐๐๐! . . . #stopviolence #protectourkids #protectthekids #endgunviolence #endgunviolencenow #guncontrolnow #guncontrol #endgunviolencetogether #target #stophomophobia #stophate #lgbtkids #transpride #trans #pride #lgbt #lgbtq #samesexfamily #lgbtfamily #lesbianmoms #lesbiansofig #rainbowfamily #blackqueer #twomomsquad #queer #queerfamily #samesexparent #representationmatters #inclusion #inclusionmatters
Target employees and staff are receiving death threats and violence over bathing suits and shirts! Read that twice. I know this topic is controversial for so many people who say โlet the kids be kids.โ So hereโs an analogy I find helpful. When I go to @target and see a childrenโs plus size bathing suit, it doesnโt personally affect me. Itโs not going to make our daughter plus sized. But for a child with a bigger body, that bathing suit is going to allow them to enjoy summer vacation in the water! They wonโt feel left out, forgotten or worse, like they donโt deserve to go swimming with their friends. A bathing suit with extra room in the gusset, doesnโt affect me! But for a child who needs it, who just wants to feel comfortable in a bathing suit at the pool, itโs literally LIFE SAVING! That bathing suit could be the difference between a happy summer and the threat of public ridicule, verbal harassment or even worse, physical violence! And I donโt believe that ANY CHILD should EVER have to face that! A store selling inclusive bathing suits doesnโt target the kids anymore than a store selling plus size swimwear. ๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐น๐ ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ผ๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ ๐ธ๐ถ๐ฑ๐? ๐ฃ๐๐๐๐ฆ๐ ๐ฆ๐๐๐ฅ๐ ๐ง๐๐๐ฆ ๐ ๐๐ฆ๐ฆ๐๐๐! . . . #target #stophomophobia #stophate #lgbtkids #transpride #trans #pride #lovemakesafamily #lgbt #lgbtq #blacklesbiansofinstagram #samesexfamily #lgbtfamily #lesbianmoms #twomomsquad #lesbiansofig #rainbowfamily #blackqueer #team2moms #twomoms #twomomsquad #queer #queerfamily #samesexparent #lesbianparents #gayparents #gayfamily #representationmatters #inclusion #inclusionmatters
No one will ever know what being chosen as @flytographerโs Chief Memory Makers means to us! Or how very grateful we are! But this is the chance of a lifetime!!! โค๏ธ But I wanted to share a little of our story and what we shared with them ๐ โLife is a collection of moments. If you're lucky, you don't have to experience them alone. I met my best friend after 35 years of solo adventures. My biggest blessing is that we've made so many beautiful memories since then. Walking through life with my best friend, my wife Kimberly, is continuously my biggest adventure. This friendship makes the mundane ordinary experiences seem memorable. It makes every exploration seem once in a lifetime. We take photos to remember. Each one a return ticket to a moment otherwise gone. We take them to hand down to our daughter. To leave a legacy of who we were and to show that we truly lived. My father was killed two years ago and when you lose someone unexpectedly you realize how important it is to make memories while you can. You realize that when we're gone, pictures are the memories we hold on to and cherish. My wife and I have been married for almost three years. It was our dream to honeymoon in Italy, but due to COVID, we were thankful just to be married. My wife is an RN and saw firsthand how precious life is and we were grateful just to have each other and our health. To be chosen for this honor would be more than a gift but a dream realized. I've never been to Europe and to be able to explore the Amalfi Coast in all its splendor with my partner in life, exploration captain and dearest friend would truly be the chance of a lifetime. I am forever grateful for this love, this friendship and for this opportunity. Thank you for the chance!โ
#sponsored When people look at me, they donโt see depression written across my forehead. Thatโs because depression doesnโt have a look. Depression doesnโt discriminate against age, orientation or ethnicity. Thatโs why itโs important to have open and honest conversations about depression so that no one has to go through it alone. Iโve struggled with depression and navigating depression treatment can be challenging, but there is help.โ Iโm proud to have joined Janssen for the Depression Looks Like Me campaign to raise awareness and to help others. I want to make sure that the LGBTQ+ community struggling with depression know theyโre not alone. You are seen and you are worthy of getting the right care and the resources to access it. To find out more, check out Depressionlookslikeme.com at the link in my bio. โ If you or someone you love has ever struggled with depression, where have you gone for help? โ #depressionlookslikeme
