My promo team is the greatest! I rep their logo all the time! One of the secrets to success is mutually beneficial collaborations. We BOTH bring equal or better talents to the table. 👇🏽 - Success tip: If you are looking to collaborate with someone and you guys aren’t equal when it comes to talent or the amount of work that is being put in, then it’s best for you to become their client and pay them for their gifts to help propel you forward. You will burn bridges if you put in 10 percent of the worker or money but expect 50 to 100 percent of the return. It’s ok to allow someone to invest or be the expert. #kimicollabs

Super facts 💯 - I’ve seen so many posts and quotes talking about how we should suck it up and just deal with it or “Take a deep breath and boss up” when life is super busy. But after having two back-to-back events this past weekend, hella paperwork to do this am, and reporting deadlines due by noon, I’m already exhausted! And that’s ok! Producing events and running a campaign is fulfilling #gratitude but once it’s over you gotta reward yourself with some rest. Don’t work so hard or stress yourself to the point of burn out. Instead, grab some coffee, get the work done in a comfortable pace & then spend time by yourself to just BE. ✨

Buenos dias familia! I’ve been working! This last quarter has been crazy trying to tie up loose ends and plan the first quarter of next year. 2019 is already here in my mind so why not start these goals and resolutions early?! Plus the snow trapped me in the house so I figured I would get back to engaging on IG LOL. #CabinFever #GoTime

It doesn’t matter what time you start today, just START. #blukandylifestyle

I’ve been listening to podcast on women who have mastered the balance between working on their creative business and being a superwoman in the relationship and the conclusion that I gathered was: they have men who back them up and understand that they are busy. They understand that they may not get a home cooked meal 3 times per day with snacks in between. They understand that she may have to travel sometimes or stay up until 3am brainstorming some ideas. And women, learn not to feel guilty for knowing what we are passionate about and having the courage to pursue it. I think the ultimate balance comes from being a good fit for each other and having bomb ass chemistry. An unspoken understanding for each other. #blukandylifestyle 📸 @bossladiesmindset

This is hands-down one of my favorite pictures of myself. Prior to me cutting all of my hair off LOL. I am sitting in the airport waiting for my flight to take off in Atlanta, reflecting on a trip that I just had with a group of amazing creative people. I had a moment where I realized that the things that I’ve hoped for, pray for, wrote down numerous times in my journal was happening. Believe. It will take you a long way. #blukandy

Question: What is it about coffee/lattes that makes writers and creatives feel better? 🤔 Is it the ambience of the cafe or the smell of the coffee that somehow attaches our minds to productivity and help us focus? — ☕️ I swear I woke up this am feeling well rested and refreshed like I’m about to tackle the world and as SOON as I opened my emails I thought “I missing something: oh, my latte!” It’s like the accessory to my outfit. I feel so alive when I sip on it while working. I feel like it signifies “Productive” when you see me with it. Maybe it’s the caffeine but oh well 🤷🏽‍♀️ it makes me happy. What gets you started in the mornings or what helps you feel more productive?

#mood This is me standing in the corner as I watch eclipse season snatch all the things that don’t belong in or around my life. Gratitude 🙏🏽 #eclipseseason #helloaugust

Happy Friday! I’ve been thinking a lot this week about values and what means a lot to me. I came to the conclusion of “Giving yourself permission to be who you truly are.” If we’re not careful we will let people put us in a box. I also recently learned to not diminish my shine for the comfort of others. I have a lot of stories to tell and believe that I can encourage others through experience so it’s time to share! Cheers to having the courage to let our voices be heard 💋 What values do you strongly live by? #Flygirl 📸 by #TheHipHopPhotographer
