The ancestors inspired my look; I hope I made them smile ✨what I wore to @afropunk today; swipe to see the inspo💕

In New Orleans early in July, I ran into a group of people on the street dressed in all white. They were kind enough to share the meaning behind the white garments. It was their “Maafa commemoration,” which is a community remembrance event that reckons with the horrors of the transatlantic slave trade. Maafa means horrific tragedy in Swahili. Maafa identifies historically significant locations in New Orleans. The community came together dressed in all white, and, at the end of the event, said the names of those enslaved and free, victims of tragic events and violence. My look was inspired by The Maafa.

Two years have passed, and we’re here! I’m so grateful. I’ve been creating content as an influencer for almost eight years. It was this video that propelled me. As a creator, you never know when your viral moment will be, but you can plan for them.

I've planned for this. What you put out matters. The quantity and quality matter. Consistency and persistence matter. Keep going! Keep creating! Going viral was really the beginning for me.

I’m learning as I go and trusting the process. I'm learning about strategy, branding, and licensing. This year, I was able to use my platform to audition for and book digital and television commercials.

This post was an answered prayer. I prayed for 100k followers in 2018, and in 2022, God said, “What are you gonna do with it?” When you see me on your timeline, it’s God. He's the reason I'm here, and I have the resources to keep going. Thank you for all of your support 🙏🏽 

Yes, that's me 😆

This is wealth to me. 🤎

For five years, I have been passionate about making space for students and people to feel seen, heard, and valued and providing insightful information that can provoke the change we want to see around us. 

My Intro to Marketing class has ended. When I asked what one thing they could take away from this class, the consensus was the realization that marketing exists all around us and that they, as consumers and marketing students, can be better equipped to operate, influence, and participate in the systems that run them. 

This has been one of my favorite semesters, and hopefully 🤞 my student will get her wish, and I will be able to teach more subjects in the future.

Last night at the @newyorkers comedy show. I love to laugh and be around comedians. I have been going to these shows since they launched last year; I guess at this point, I’m a comedy creator, too. 🤣😅

In a way, I am, Or that I'm just a funny New Yawka ✌🏾😅

Pov: finally in the Christmas spirit 🎄

When I tell you that the friends you make in college are the ones you’ll have for life, has rung true for me repeatedly! This time of year fills me with so many mixed emotions that it becomes overwhelming to decorate or put up my tree. 

Seeing how beautiful @justjodieml decorated hers, I jokingly asked her to decorate mine, and here we are 😆😆 it's not often that we get to spend time with one another, but I'm so grateful for the times we do share together.

My good sis got my tree all the way together with her fine “motherly touch”  and it got me in the holiday cheer. 💕🎀

Thanks again Jodie and shout out to you for being such a good elf and spreading the joy around 🌹✨✨✨

This rebrand will be curated by God 🤎

Portraits taken by @dezirae.b 

In therapy this week, I expressed feelings of hitting a plateau in life—feeling as if I’m at a standstill with no progress. My therapist acknowledged my journey and guided me to reflect on how my year started and where I am now.

I have progressed in so many other areas of my life I ended laughing at myself for forgetting the positives I gained throughout the year, despite having injured my ankle. 

I started seeing a therapist about five years ago when I noticed my mood and mental health shifting with the colder months. That was one of the best decisions I ever made. Seasonal depression, anxiety, and grief are real intense feelings, but you don’t have to face it alone. 💕

My sessions bring me so much relief from all the emotions I carry and helps me to let them go. ✨

Give the gift of flawless skin this season with my recommended skin care products ❄️

I opt for my @goodmolecules Brightning and Spot Corrector cleansing bar for daily cleansing, which is excellent for dark marks and hyperpigmentation. I love Good Molecules for their affordability and clean ingredients. 

@elemis makes toning easier with their resurface facial pads, which contain lovely, clean ingredients to remove residue after washing.

@dermelect has been my go-to this season for moisturizing and anti-aging protection. I love that it only takes a little product, which goes a long way. I was #gifted the rapid repair duo set, including the rapid repair serum and cream, perfect for my skin during the winter. 

Lastly, before applying my moisturizer, I treat my skin with @skii's patented Pitera anti-aging treatment. This formula prevents fine lines and wrinkles and gives my skin that youthful and trendy #glassskin feel. 

Follow @meeshell_ay for more recommendations and feel-good vibes
