My Story
Hi, I’m Keisha—writer, strategist, wife, mom, and dog mom to Cairo and Remi (they run the house, if we’re being honest).
For years, I poured my energy into work, school, and family—always checking the boxes, always moving forward, but never quite feeling like I had space to just be. Somewhere along the way, I realized I wasn’t alone. So many Black women were doing the same—carrying the weight, making it look easy, and quietly craving an escape that felt like healing, peace, and purpose.
That’s why I started this blog. It’s not about running away—it’s about running toward something. Toward clarity. Toward joy. Toward a version of yourself that doesn’t just survive, but thrives.
My story includes long hours in retail, a shift into government contracting, late-night writing sessions, a master’s program, and yes—a few plants that are still alive and thriving (for now!). But more than anything, it’s a story about transformation and choosing softness without losing strength.
Here, I share my journey openly—the wins, the detours, and the honest in-betweens. Whether you're here for personal growth, inspiration, or just a reminder that you’re not alone, I hope you find something that speaks to you.
Because this isn’t just my story. It’s ours.
