There Is No In-Between in Your Late 20s And Nobody Really Warns You
Your late 20s feel like standing in the middle of a bridge. You’re not where you used to be.But you’re not where you thought you’d be either. And somehow, everyone around you looks like they have it together, careers moving, relationships progressing, life making sense while you’re still quietly asking yourself: “Am I doing this right?” Because this phase is weird. You’re old enough to feel the pressure.But still young enough to be figuring things out. And there is no clear i

Not Caribbean Enough? Let’s Talk About It
There’s something that honestly burns me every time I hear it: "You’re not Caribbean enough." And it makes me wonder why is it that Caribbean people sometimes feel the need to decipher what’s “Caribbean enough”? You don’t often see people in other cultures constantly questioning each other’s identity just because they grew up somewhere different. Their identity is understood as something that travels with them. So why do we sometimes make it harder on our own people? Every ti

How to Do Carnival Without Breaking the Bank
Culture over pressure, always. Carnival season is one of my favorite times of the year, the music, the energy, the community, the freedom. But every year without fail, I hear the same thing: “Carnival is too expensive.”“I could never afford that.”“Y’all must be rich.” And listen… I get it. Carnival can be expensive if you don’t plan. But it does not have to drain your bank account. All jokes aside you can fully enjoy Carnival, honor the culture, and still have your bills paid

Rest Is Productive Too: What I’m Learning in Real Time About Sleep, Recovery, and Slowing Down
This post is coming straight from where I’m at right now not a polished lesson from the other side, but something I’m actively working through. Recently, one of my family members asked me a simple question: “Do you even get any sleep?” I said, “Yeah… like 5–6 hours.” He said, “Nah. That’s not enough. You need at least 7.” And normally I would’ve brushed it off. Because in my head, 5–6 hours felt… decent. Manageable. Normal for someone juggling a 9–5, content creation, dance

Entering 2026 Softer, Not Smaller
Photo By: @M76photo on IG For the first time in a long time, I’m not rushing into the new year with a checklist full of pressure. I’m not sprinting toward a version of myself that looks impressive on the outside but feels exhausted on the inside. I’m entering 2026 softer not smaller . Soft doesn’t mean passive. It doesn’t mean I’m not ambitious or driven. It means I’m moving with intention instead of urgency. It means I’m choosing alignment over chaos and trusting that growth

My Creator Wrapped: The Story Behind the Highlights

Let’s talk about it, having a full-time job AND running a creative brand isn’t for the weak. I do both, and while it’s not always easy, it’s shaping me in ways I never expected. People love to glamorize the soft life, but the truth is: sometimes the soft life comes with structure, sacrifice, and discipline. My 9-5 teaches me skills that directly pour into Twiggy Versatile: how to manage campaigns, communicate clearly, hit deadlines, analyze data, and advocate for myself even

The Real Deal: The Pros and Cons of Being a Content Creator
Let’s be real: content creation is fun, creative, and fulfilling, but it’s also demanding. Everyone sees the cute posts, but not the breakdowns over editing apps when you want to edit something a certain way or the third reshoot of the same outfit video because the brand wants to go in a different direction. Pros: Creative expression on YOUR terms : You’re in charge of your vision, your aesthetic, your voice. No boss telling you what’s “on brand.” You get to build a space tha

Worthy Regardless: My Journey to Recognizing My Self-Worth
Photo Credits: @M76photo on Instagram For the longest time, I let outside validation define how I saw myself. If people hyped me up, I felt confident. If they didn’t, I questioned everything about me. It took me a while to realize that kind of worth is fragile. Temporary. Conditional. I started asking myself: Who am I when no one is clapping? When the likes slow down? When the brand deals don’t come through? The truth is my worth is not dependent on how others view me, but ho
