I was working in “corporate” doing amazing work in the eyes of my colleagues. By trade, I’m a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. The nerdy version of what I do is, I generate evidenced based intervention plans for individuals who engage in unsafe or undesirable behaviors. 

A couple of years of overextending myself as a BCBA led to some extreme burnout and anxiety. But you know what? It needed to happen in order for me to grow this community and help redefine what self-care as a black millennial woman means today. 

For many black women reading this today, discovering this space is you choosing to bloom and prioritize your self care . You’re making the ultimate statement that operating as a black woman can certainly co-exist with your ever present responsibilities.   

I hope you get all you need here when reading a blog or two, purchasing a self-care product from the kb in bloom shop, or sharing a blog post with a friend. I hope you leave here more inspired and motivated to own you while soaking in the importance of taking time with yourself. 

Most importantly, I hope you receive more than a few self-care nudges you weren’t expecting to feel but needed to feel.
