All extraordinary young ladies from grades k-12 need to be on this zoom! Looking forward to seeing them there! 🤎

Never Be Ordinary/ Struttt Presents “The Gift Of Gab” Talking is not a sign of weakness. It is healthy, it is strong, and experts say; A way to actually take charge of your well being and doing what you can to stay healthy. Talking is a gift 🎁 It is my desire, divine purpose, and assignment to make a deposit into the lives of our young ladies by giving them the tools to find the extraordinary that lives within; and go on to light another’s path. Please allow me to be a part of your “village” and sign your extraordinary ladies up for a virtual hour of unpacking insecurities, fears, peers, and any questions they may have. I want them to leave with a friend and college mentor, tools to build self worth and confidence, and the knowledge that They can do all things through our Lord that strengthens and loves them. If you want to sign your student up, are interested, or would like more information just comment below.

With love and excitement

The Bullying Stops Here

Putting me down
Pulling my hair
Judging my looks
My confidence shook
Try to blend in
Better yet disappear
So that your hurtful words
Won’t cause any tears
Even at home
I still get the message
We’re not friends but foes
Is all that I’m left with
It just shouldn’t be
And you would see
That we’re not so different
If you looked at me
We have dreams for our futures
Pressures and fears
Trying to get along with
Our families and peers
I pledge to take a stand for myself
And others like me too
I will be a light that shines
Where the darkness likes to brew
I will not be silenced
Nor will I neglect
Those bullied out of dignity
Or their self respect
If kindness costs you nothing
Then hate must cost a fee
And I won’t pay the price for your negativity
I give myself permission to be nobody else but me
Let’s start a chain reaction, so that we all can be free
💙


This week is spirit week at our oldest daughters school. Today she is wearing blue for bully awareness. What are you all doing at home with your extraordinary littles, to make the world a kinder place? We wanna hear.👂 Are schools participating in bully awareness month where you are, do you have any concerns about this issue with your kids? Sound off below.
Also we’d love to be tagged in pics if you are participating.

Back 2 School Blues

Today’s the day, after a long break
We set our clocks so we wouldn’t be late
But we didn’t have to drive or catch a bus
Rooms in our homes
Is where class is set up
We pulled out our chrome books
And logged onto zoom
To meet our classmates and teachers
At virtual school
We raised our hands by pressing a key
And talked a little about how strange this must be
Even though learning is surely different
Toughing it out must be our mission
And Moms and Dads still found a way
To make us all feel special today
Back to school clothes and back to school hair
In my bedroom
At my desk in my chair
We may all be thinking
How this just isn’t fair
But let us be mindful
Of the blessings we share
May we pick up the pieces
May we be brave
May we study like scholars
And learn healthy ways
Tap into creativity
Let love be your muse
May we try very hard
In all that we do
If you feel down
Don’t forget, you are not alone
So cheers to us
And the year we stayed home

Blessings to all the administrators, parents, teachers, faculty and staff all across our country and around the world. Blessings to all of our young people. We got this 🖤

Crown

Kinky, coily, jumpy, springy
My Mamma says it sure is pretty
And things like “Wooh Chile all this hair!!”
Don’t forget three things
Tender, love, and care
My hair is so special
It grows up like a crown
I can wear it in a bun, beaded up, or straight down
My ancestors used braids as signs and maps
Now tell me who wouldn’t be proud of that?
Hair fluffy like cotton, or locked to show strength
Hair that shrinks just like magic
And can stretch to show length
Wavy, curly, beautiful tresses
From my scalp, is what I’m blessed with
Hair that makes people talk
Hair that makes people stop and stare
I like mine best when it’s free
And momma says you can look...
But,
Don’t - play- in - my- hair

In a garden, yes it’s true
There are many flowers, oh so beautiful
Don’t fret about if they will pick and choose
Wisdom knows you are special
You give life and all you have to do... Is bloom~ A.P.

Did you know that studies have shown girls are more mentally & emotionally impacted in their real lives due to social media than boys?? And that when allowed on different social media platforms by their “tweens” there has been a strong link between online usage and a decline in happiness??? I know that many of us believe social media is taking up too much of our lives even as adults. Pressure to keep up, be successful, interesting, fun, & beautiful unfortunately has not left adults unscathed let alone children in the teen/ tween stage. I first want to remind you all that we are all people trying our best to live this human experience to the best of our abilities. Be kind to yourselves, and take time for yourself. Most importantly I want you to be cognizant of these amazing beings you’ve been given charge over. They need quality time with you, with nature, and with themselves. Time to discover their own uniqueness, and the encouragement of those who love and care for them letting them know how important who THEY are really is. They cannot do this if they are constantly looking to the right or to the left to see what they should be. Who they should resemble. How they should sound. Make sure they know they are more than enough. We are each a masterpiece. The world is our exhibit, our art show. No one piece should be walking around looking exactly the same. Where’s the excitement in that? In other words, take their faces out of those screens, television’s, computer’s & phone’s. You don’t need a cheat sheet. JUST. BLOOM.

Outside is opening back up ready or not. Where will you go and what will you do during this ? Whatever you choose make sure you are safe and fashionable from work to play in your “face shawl” All masks feature filters containing fabrics that deter and diffuse viruses, lint, dust, pollen, bacteria, pet dander, dust mites, mold spores, smoke particles, coughs & sneezes, smog, allergens and other contaminants. Inbox for inquiries & to place your orders. 🖤🤎

Did you know??? Literacy is essential to developing a strong sense of well being? Children who have developed strong reading skills are known to have a healthier self image and perform better in school. Read aloud to your little ones; especially from the infant/toddler to early school age stage. These early years are critical to language development. Give your extraordinary learners the gift of language, independence, keys to acquiring knowledge, creativity, exploration, and so much more when you open up a book and READ!!! We are also celebrating and supporting local and small black businesses in this post. The girl’s books are from Be BOMB Book Club and their adorable knitted knee highs are from .
Hope you all had a blessed day. 🖤👑🦄📚📖
