NEW YEAR, NEW ME?

Towards the end of 2014 I, like most people began reflecting upon the year and how I felt it had gone. While most people were talking about how live the year had been for them, I was there like. 

Truthfully, I was a little bit salty because I couldn't say the same. It’s at times like these where we

COMFORT ZONING

They say ignorance is bliss. Yeah, well so are comfort zones! They are the spaces in which  we feel most at ease, spaces in which we are often masters of because we can and know exactly how to operate well within them. They make us feel secure and because of this they naturally flatter our egos. 

THE ART OF LIVING PURPOSEFULLY

“You were put on this earth to achieve your greatest self, to live out your purpose, and to do it courageously.”

 - Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free. 

Lately I've been thinking a lot about purpose and how it is that we find out what we want and where we want to go with our lives. With the explosion of social media and its ability to allow us an insight into people’s lives it seems that these days so many more people are living theirs. 

However, this can be quite difficult if we’re still trying to find out exactly what our purpose is. 

AN INTERVIEW WITH VOL.1: BISOYE BABALOLA

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of interviewing Bisoye Babalola, the face behind Re~Angle(formally known as BloTV) the team who brought us Screened Nights and Runner a branding, PR and management consultancy. At just 23 years old she has worked with brands including Westfields, Box Park, Proppercorn and more. We caught up to discuss branding, being your own boss and what advice she'd give to those struggling to find their own path...

The Blacker The Berry.

Experimented with a different locations for this look. Couldn't decided which one I liked better so I went with both! 

I used to believe that self acceptance was a privilege, only found amongst those who were lucky enough to possess certain physical features or personal qualities. For sometime I struggled with my appearance because I felt that I couldn't assimilate into this standard of beauty. Something that can be a particular issue amongst women of colour (Hence the title of this post).

I struggled to find ways in which my dark skin and features were represented and celebrated as being beautiful in ways that these other features at that time were. Finally, it got to the point were I realised that I really couldn't do much about my physical appearance. I was forced to re define my definition of beauty so that I was able to accept myself whilst learning to own my flaws.

Blo Tv Presents #ScreenedNights ft Behind the door

The big moment! 

So a few weeks ago I was invited to have my short "Behind the door" be apart of Blo Tv's screened nights. The screening took place earlier this week at Box park in Shoreditch and it was an unforgettable experience, especially as its was my first one. It really taught me the value of believing in your craft and your brand... 

Take Time

I've often been told that one of the hardest things in life is creating balance. In this day and age we're constantly being pushed to work hard and always stay focused on success if we want to achieve it. Whatever and however we decide to define it as.

While we’re on this path I've learnt that its just as important to take time, (hence the title of this post) to enjoy our individual journeys and to routinely reflect on what we want and where we are going (This goes for those who are just starting out and those who are a little closer to their goals btw!). In fact Tai Lopez created a podcast titled "Why you should take a thinking trip."

An Introduction

Firstly, I'd just like to say a big thank you to all of you for visiting!

This blog and its creation has been something that I have been wanting to start for a little while now and my recent trip to Switzerland (which was such a beautiful and transformative experience) finally gave me the push I needed to start blogging.
