OT: Dead Prez – The Beauty Within

Posted by urbansista on April 26, 2011

Hi all,

Sorry for the sporadic posts! I’ve been busy and I’m now fighting a cold. To keep you company while I’m recuperating, here’s a song from Dead Prez. It’s nice to hear someone say something nice about natural girls. I’ll be back later this week with some posts!

#newpost 🍋 Yesterday I was at a workshop held by @bangresumeworksca and it got me thinking. I've been stepping out of my comfort zone, but I've been terrified to #fail. 🍋 Like it was going to kill me if I wasn't perfect every time I did something. 🍋 We say #failure like it's a dirty word, but isn't failure a huge part of #success? Try, test your service or product, fail, use the learning and try again? 🍋 Black people, people of colour, women often don't get that luxury. When things go left, you aren't given the #grace to learn from your mistakes and keep on improving. 🍋 What has been your experience? Share it in the comments. Read the new post on The Accidental Natural--find the #linkinbio 🍋🍋🍋 #theaccidentalnatural #brokepocketdiaries #SweetLimeComms #communicator #communications #words #wordsarepowerful #wordsaremything #momboss #mompreneur #wahm #workingmom #girlbosslife #beyourownboss #buildingbossladies #entrepreneursofinstagram #solopreneur #smallbusiness #canadianbusiness #caribbeanbusiness #blackbusiness #storytelling #storyteller #stories

#motivationalmonday 🍋 When I started this business in November 2017, two years ago, I was scared. I mean, I had been working in corporate for 17 years and didn't have any entrepreneurial experience. 🍋 All I knew was that I had no interest in going back to corporate at that point. 🍋 As my friends heard about my decision, most of them were supportive. They were excited for me and wanted to hear all about my big ideas, but some questioned my decision. 🍋 "But...but..what if you fail?" 🍋 But what if I fly? Some people won't see your vision. They won't understand how you can give up the security and stability of a 9-to-5 job with a huge corporation. 🍋 I get it because that was me. I couldn't understand how some of my friends ran their own small businesses or worked on contracts. 🍋 But those who said, "but what makes *you* think *your* business will succeed? Everyone is doing what you do." 🍋 Excuse me? 🍋 No one can do it like me because no one is me. No I don't want to sell insurance or financial packages--'nuff people are doing that as well. No I'm not selling as part of a MLM--if you do, more power to you, but that isn't me. 🍋 I want to fly under my own power. Create a business and brand that's totally me with my flavour. I want to create an environment where I flourished and could grow. I wanted the flexibility to manage my crazy life and still provide for my family. 🍋 And I'll do it because no one has my story and no one can do it like me. 🍋 Two years and I'm still doing my thing--dealing with the ups and the downs. Happy anniversary to me! 🍋 #yassss 🍋🍋🍋 #SweetLimeComms #communicator #communications #words #wordsarepowerful #wordsaremything #momboss #mompreneur #wahm #workingmom #girlbosslife #beyourownboss #buildingbossladies #entrepreneursofinstagram #solopreneur #smallbusiness #canadianbusiness #caribbeanbusiness #blackbusiness #storytelling #storyteller #stories #happyanniversary

Happy Halloween...before we got rained out. 🎃 We had #beyonce panda bear and #uma from #Descendants 🎃 Good times had by all! 🎃🎃🎃 #happyhalloween #rainyday #halloween #halloweencostume #theaccidentalnatural

It's amazing how a #hair cut can make you love your hair again. 🍋 Last night, I got annoyed with how my hair looked and I was getting tired of it getting caught in things. Honestly, I've been threatening to cut it off for a while now. I took my hair shears and hacked off about 4 inches. 🍋 Once I was done, I was shocked that it looked lively again. The length suited my face and I looked like me again. 🍋 So here I am taking selfies and showing off. 🍋 Question: why does it take 50 selfies to get one that is acceptable to be posted? AND why do I look fine in the mirror, but when I snap the picture I look a mess? The joys of *not* being photogenic. 🍋 Last thing, pack your hand lotion. The ash has returned. 🍋🍋🍋 #theaccidentalnatural #SweetLimeComms #naturalhair #locs #locdnotbound #naturalhairlove #communicator #communications #words #wordsarepowerful #wordsaremything #momboss #mompreneur #wahm #workingmom #girlbosslife #beyourownboss #buildingbossladies #entrepreneursofinstagram #solopreneur #smallbusiness #canadianbusiness #caribbeanbusiness #blackbusiness #storytelling #storyteller #stories

Happy Thanksgiving, friends! 🍋 I hope you are planning to eat, drink, and be merry with friends and family. 🍋 If not, I pray you feel loved and happy wherever you are, whatever you're doing because I realize not everyone has family or friends to spend time with during holidays. 🍋 Remember to be thankful for all your blessings, big or small. 🍋🍋🍋 #happythanksgivng #friends #family #givethanks #blessed #fall2019 #SweetLimeComms #theaccidentalnatural #communicator #communications #words #wordsarepowerful #wordsaremything #momboss #mompreneur #wahm #workingmom #girlbosslife #beyourownboss #buildingbossladies #entrepreneursofinstagram #solopreneur

Happy almost #Thanksgiving! 🦃 Daughter #1 brought home this turkey, isn't he cute? 🦃 Life gets overwhelming. How am I going to get this project done? How am I going to get this house clean? How am I going to find the time that I need to do all the things? 🦃 Then my heart starts beating quickly, I get stressed and I can't sleep. 🦃 The events of the past two weeks have put things into perspective. 🦃 I'm not pretending for anyone. I am #grateful for my #imperfect life with my #imperfect family. Could we have more money? Definitely. Could my house be tidier? Yes. Could I do more? Of course. 🦃 But I am human, with flaws, and I do the best I can. 🦃 So, my life isn't perfect and some days suck and I second guess myself and my decisions. 🦃 And this #weekend I will fill my belly with food, laugh, work because #entrepreneurlife and thank God for the imperfect perfection of this life. 🦃🦃🦃 #SweetLimeComms #communicator #communications #words #wordsarepowerful #wordsaremything #momboss #mompreneur #wahm #workingmom #girlbosslife #beyourownboss #buildingbossladies #entrepreneursofinstagram #solopreneur #smallbusiness #canadianbusiness #caribbeanbusiness #blackbusiness #storytelling #storyteller #stories #faithbasedentrepreneur
