When your #lawyerbae @nocountryforoldtrends takes time from classes to check out the @marieclairemag Sustainability Forum with you... you need to snap a pic or 20.. 😂😂 Thank you to the @marieclairemag team & @annefulenwider for a seat at today’s table. It was an amazing and informative experience. #FashioningTheFuture #TheLocdBella

Everyone knows I am a lipstick addict and I am unashamed of that fact. My addiction started a few years ago when @aafiika posted a selfie with new lip color & immediately I fell in love. With National Girl Crush day (April 27th) around the corner, I've teamed up with @BobbiBrown to share my #BBGirlCrush story. @aafiika , you have been my #1 #BBGirlCrush since. You're inspirational, honest, compassionate, and ambitious. I am excited for what is to come for this year and beyond. With that said, I'm nominating @ShesCandid_ , @frabybaby , and @anitadolcevita to share their #BBGirlCrush. You can nominate your crush too! I wanna see them! PS: Currently wearing #BobbiBrown Crushed Lip Color in Regal (if you were wondering...) #BBAmbassador #Ad
Bucket list idea #55 completed today. I did my first 15K at the @hotchocolate15k with the best coach/cheerleader anyone could ask for. My ass hurts like hell but I’m about to sleep good tonight! ✌🏾 🖤: @professorbooze #TheLocdBella
The winter has finally retired its hideous weather and my skin is ready to breathe again and you know me, I love a good skincare routine once the season changes. However, this spring, I'm continuing with my @Olay plan of skincare success, resetting it just a tad bit, and it all comes down to three easy steps.

T - 18 hours. Yes, I’m counting because Calzones are on the menu and I’m feening for a cigar. 🤷🏾‍♀️😂 🖤 Okay. Back to sleep. #thelocdbella #ProfessorBooze
The irony of falling in love is just blatant hysterics. We strive and aim to hopelessly give the absolute to power to a stranger to dismantle our inner hopes, dreams, and simple ashes of humanity while praying that they continuously sweep us off our feet, shower us with gifts, and **** us so hard we sleep for days. Have you ever stop to think that maybe we’ve got this all wrong. Maybe falling in love isn’t suppose to scare us. Maybe it’s to remind us of the childlike feeling of being wanted but knowing we’re not necessarily needed and can still survive on our own. Maybe falling in Love is suppose to hurt and fuck up our shitty unrealistic views of humans and the world and push us to step outside the box for once in our miserable/uneventful lives. I don’t know. I see love as rolling over in the morning next to her, smell her funky breath, and still kiss her softly til her eyes flutter open. I see it as good news just happened and you’re the first I want/need to call because your support is all that matters. It’s knowing and feeling secure/confident enough in her that I don’t need to question or second-guess her interactions with her ex. It’s knowing she wants me when I’m not likable. Wanting her when I feel like choking her. Sitting on the couch doing absolutely nothing and being okay. Eating shitty food together and then decide it’ll never happen again, only to happen again once we cross state lines. Only getting a good night’s sleep when her arms wrap tightly around the body I’m secretly self-conscious about. Fucking up and being held accountable for it. Supporting my dream before I realize I needed the tools for my goals. Realizing that when I leave this country, she might be the only reason I’d want to come back. - January 1st, 2018 #thelocdbella
Sundays are for planning, re-evaluations, and recharging. What are your Sundays like? Ps: My life would be a mess without my @commit30 planner. Think I’m lying, ask her 👉🏽 @_melanin_monroe86 #thelocdbella
Remember last month, I wrote an entire post about "AT&T's 28 Days History by Us: Black History Told By Those Making it"? Well, it was a hit for me and let me explain why. For a whole month, yes, an entire month, I was able to view our own content creators such as Khadi Don (IN LOVE WITH HER!), Gabrielle Shepard, Denzel Dion, and Nefertite Nguvu to tell stories of people who have impacted theatre, literature, shoemaking, and activism. It was just pure #BlackMagic baby and I was there for it! I'm never usually this excited for Black History month to be honest because it's always the same. People constantly launching these slavery movies, discussing why blackface is offensive, and why people, who aren't People of Color, cannot appropriate what we consider our culture and just get away Scott-free. My favorites were the history of Aida Overton Walker's famous dance, followed by Philis Wheatley and how her amazing gift of writing poetry was a form of rebellion that was a catalyst in its time. These two stories resonated the most with me simply because I love to dance, especially in theatre, and writing poetry. They were all avenues at one point in my younger life as a tool for mental and emotional stability. Therefore, it's refreshing to see these same tools as instruments for dynamic change in our history. So to say this was a bomb Black History this year, to say the least, would be an understatement.
