I seriously stepped into May as a 1st time homebuyer. For the babies on the TL please know that I bought my 1st house at 36 (that’s old in Twitter’s world). I promise the accomplishment hits the same at 26, 36, 46, 56. This is your reminder to be kind to self b/c you have time.❤️
And this is why Tasha Cobbs had no business even associating or collaborating with a secular artist.
Now you on here being referred to as a “do anything b.tch” by a rapper 😂
Victoria Monet is 34, 4 projects deep, a mom, a grown woman and just won best new artist. Listen to that speech she gave. Don’t stop believing in yourself. Don’t stop watering your dreams.
Can we talk about how Princess Diaries is a perfect example of how God doesn’t call the qualified, He qualifies the called. The whole series is a testament to how no matter how much you mess up or how unfit others might deem you, what’s for you is for you.
This will be my “overnight” and “all a sudden” year. This will be the year where it looks like it happened over night when really it’ll be me finally enjoying the fruits of my labor. The years of hard work. This is the year.
There’s a black girl with a hair company that sells wigs, but get this…she packages them on mannequins that look like the throwback bratz doll heads we used to play with as kids, it’s so creative. She even has bonnets/combs attached to the back too.
The way my mouth dropped…
Ari got a whole cosmetic line? They could’ve collab w/ Remedy… they’re all influencers/socialites they could’ve done wrapped polaroid cameras or a film camera & accessories? Shot glass? Shades? They really gave them a 7 eleven starter pack…
You let your young son stay the night with a “gay man” an hour away from your home who you also knew were pen pals with John Wayne Gacy?? Yeah lock her up too!
#QuietOnSet
I want people to stop acting like learning your worth is this super freeing & happy moment. Those first few moments of realization is actually the hardest. Now you gotta cut people off, change habits, find a new environment. That purge when learning your worth is not fun.
I need y’all to see this!! A black woman who created a robot to teach kids how to code + the author of a book called “Think like a computer”
This is so cool, let alone the cutest thing ever!!
Your reminder that elementary schools and many middle schools no longer have music, art, & PE as a special.
Many high schools are removing specialty classes like ceramics, chorus, & audio programs. A lot of them have stopped teaching how to play instruments.
7 year old girl comes to school with a thrifted AKA shirt on and the teacher takes it from her, gives her another shirt and e-mails the parent that AKA paraphernalia is reserved for members only.
Unhinged.
It wasn’t just 30k to set up an Amazon storefront y’all, it was for Walmart too. & it was advertised that they would secure the inventory & ship it out for them all while running the store. It wasnt just setting up. No victim blaming cause regardless this girl didn’t deserve that
This is on the top of my list for next year. Bringing back spaces for people to love, laugh, & eat. Let’s bring back the fish fries, sleepovers, family & friends day at church, writing down recipes, sharing photo albums, sitting on the porch. Spade tables. Let’s get back to it.
Thought long and hard about a catchy caption. But all I could come up with was...to God be the glory.
I had a vision in 2018 of a space where creators just like me could come to create, network, and learn.
Create•Here Studio coming soon.
Hear me out. Hot Girl Summer Tour could’ve gave Spring Bling, but in the summer! Merch could’ve been cute hand towels, booty shorts, or cute drink floaties/novelty cups. The tour graphics could’ve gave early 2000s magazines or day party vibes. Imagine!
@theestallion
I know Meg is a professional and all but I would have loved if the Hot Girl Summer tour was just a bunch of pool party concerts, like that would be so cute 🥹 (kinda gross) …but the CONCEPT lol
I tweeted this in 2022. Y’all was calling me dumb & a hater. The owner of saltxo posted this on her IG, women was in the comments telling me to mind my fat business…
Today she posted this…yeah okay!!
I really feel like the only reason Saltxo isn’t in stores yet is because the packaging is subpar and the labels are ugly. Because it’s definitely not the product itself. That company has built a great community behind it plus they’re good products.
See this is why I wish resources were more accessible for black people. Instead of her sourcing a manufacturer and food chemist, she decided to DIY it and is now being flamed. The idea of a pink sauce would’ve HIT with proper production, labeling, shipping, & branding.
I feel like platonic love is one of the strongest kind of loves, because there is no physical attraction or intimacy for me to depend on, no lust. Just character & personality, and even with that, I still love you?
Hey Professor Icy! I think you need a TA aka content curator. I noticed
#IcyUniversity2020
didn’t have an Instagram page.
We can get it shapopping!

Boutiques, all your sales floor looks should be inspo for the entire weekend. Beauty service providers, offer discounts with proof of concert ticket. Especially MUAS, your simplest, fastest beat should be available.
This was for me too. Cause while you’re scared & timid. People lives are changing from just doing what they love. & if it’s meant for you, it’ll be you too.
I see about 5 of these videos a day on my FYP with the same sentiments.
“We went viral, sold out, ordered hella more inventory, now we are no longer viral. Help”
Stop relying solely on tik tok to sell your products.
Edited or not! We shouldn’t even be able to relate the 2 artist 😂 somebody thought of all her do anything 🐶 and was able throw Ms. Break Every Chain on the list 😂
Not only that, protocol was literally broken to allow her to rule without being married. God will even break the rules, change the laws, or bend protocol just so you can have a seat at the table.
There were times Mia wanted out, she didn’t feel “good enough” for the thrown. She didn’t even want to take the assignment. She convinced herself that her ideas wasn’t impactful enough. And she still found her way to the crown.
* in her other videos she mention it wasn’t just an Amazon store that was promised to her so I *somewhat* understand.
Some people like convenience. Which is why done for you services are popular…but as for me and my house, I’m not upping 30k to a stranger.
We need black peoples to own ice cream parlors, laundry mats, home decor companies, tutoring companies, corner stores, gas stations, children clothing companies, chiropractors, spas, actual salons, hardware stores, tap into it all.
I sit on ideas so long, campaign themes, & graphics, then will see someone post something similar and it all goes back to how God will give it to someone else if you don’t do what He told you, when He told you.
My thing with this, is if you knew you was gone be a bird. Stand on being bird. Why get on that clock app fronting knowing you still wanted that random man from Atlanta?? Weirdo.
I don’t even care how bad I want it anymore, if it’s not what you want for me God, take the desire away. For everything it applies to in my life. I want what you want for me.
I attract money and money is attracted to me. Everything I lose, I make it back 10 fold. People are blessing me and they don’t know why. I’m blessed which in return allows me to bless others. I’m rich in health, joy, peace, and finances. I lack NOTHING & have a lot to gain.
And if snacks was a must, they could’ve at least done custom labels and packaging. There were so many ways to elevate that entire experience…and threw that crinkly paper in there for razzle dazzle?
Listen, Day care owners??? Just for that night, offer overnight care for the kids. One night only, dinner and snacks will be served, put on a movie, get your best employees to come, do an arts and crafts project.
Just for the night of the concert.
She didn’t have to go apply for it, it was already hers! She was literally heir to the crown, Romans 8:17 tells us that we are literally heirs of God, it royally belongs to us! We have a right to the heritage, we ain’t have to do nothing, it’s just a perk to being a child of God!
Can I double down? Mia had to wait until she was in high school before she even learned she was heir to be a princess, sometimes God gotta make you wait for that next level, until you ready. Her grandmother knew she was ready!
Transportation companies, if you own sprinter vans, rent cars on Turo, party buses, the traffic will be crazy, the wait and prices for Ubers/Lyfts will be crazier, offer pick up and drop off, charge per person, establish 1 location near by for meet up.
Okay last thing and I’m done. Y’all keep saying “I wish I had a man to gift this too” if you have brothers, nephews, uncles, a daddy. Still get it and gift it to them.
The book is about a high school sophomore who learns he can get his wishes granted by getting 360 waves 🤯
Also idk if y’all noticed but a lot of the OG influencers have dippeddd 😂 you do not see them.
& this is where I want us to get back to people being “socialites”. I feel like there is a clear difference between socialites & influencers. Just can’t explain it in 140 characters.
@lifesizek
For me.. when they downplay everything you do all of a sudden. Or if they never had an interest in certain things until you do & it becomes a competition, or when you do something really big or important they don’t help you because “you didn’t ask for help” & more!
But you know what would really be cute, the fake paparazzi photo shoots for friend groups as they arrive to the concert.
How fun. Photographers, link up. The girls and guys will be dressed in their best. Get those shots off.
