Idk if that lady was coming for me & my “makeup” in bed, but to be clear: I will wake up, get dressed & get going. I will return to bed. I will lollygag. That’s how I get shit done AND maintain my energy & peace. 💆🏽 Don’t knock it til you try it… happy #selfcare Sunday! 😘

It’s a busy first weekend of June and kick off to Black Music Month with great live music and more… let’s gooooo summertime Chi! ow.ly/vHXn50Z8nRx

We lost a Chicago giant this week who served our community with love and light... we honor the magic and servant leadership of Spencer Leak, Jr. and share details of his services next week. ow.ly/nKFB50Z8nE3

Our community connects at a couple of free events bringing us together on the south and west sides this weekend! ow.ly/9suw50Z8nrs

Funny how age turns some of our strongest "never"s into "of course." Life has a way of introducing you to yourself. 😂

You can't hate change and demand convenience at the same time. Every tool that makes life easier changes the way we live. When you know better, you do better. The real question is whether you're willing to grow with what you've learned.

Our parents survived hard lives by learning how to function tired. A lot of us learned the same thing. So now we’re an entire generation that feels guilty for needing rest. Anyway… happy #SelfCareSunday and I hope it's a restful one.

It's the last weekend of May and it really feels like summertime Chi as we head into June! Here's some great fun to get into this weekend... v103.iheart.com/featured/jeann…

If you're looking for a job, get in on free training for the thousands of new jobs expected when the new casino opens next year. Details here 👇🏽 v103.iheart.com/featured/jeann…

POV: You’re trying to explain to Gen Z that the phone used to be attached to the WALL. 😭 And yes… somebody could absolutely pick up the other line and ruin your whole conversation. We survived. Barely.

Not everything unfamiliar is chaos. Sometimes you’re just learning something new — and calling it “chaotic” is making it heavier than it is.

“Seek help” is important. But we also need to talk more about HOW to recognize good help. Because vulnerable people can get harmed by the wrong people too. That conversation matters. Wishing you good care, good discernment, and a gentle #SelfCareSunday 🤍

Memorial Day marks the kick off to summer and there’s SO much to do this weekend… let's get into the fun of summertime Chi! ow.ly/6HwM50Z3tGV

Honoring an often overlooked part of Memorial Day's history and how it began out of the gratitude of recently freed formerly enslaved people after the Civil War. ow.ly/FqA550Z3tyU

This weekend may mark the kickoff to summer, but more importantly, the holiday honors those we've lost who have served our country... here's how to remember their service this weekend at area parades and ceremonies. ow.ly/2tMh50Z3tm2

Somewhere out there, a woman is teaching people that THIS is a knot. Ma’am. That is a tie with ambition. 😭 And now I can’t unknow it. I can’t unsee it. I can’t let society continue like this. Anyway. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk on misinformation and rope integrity

Aging well isn’t about staying the same. It’s about adapting without abandoning yourself. Watching my mentor Bernie Bates celebrate 90 reminded me: different season, same spirit. That’s Fearless Authenticity. May we all be blessed enough to get there.

Hard seasons require intentional softness. Keep things around you that make you smile. Pictures. Memories. Little joys. Silly bird statues from HomeGoods. 😂 Your mind keeps searching for whatever you train it to notice. And this season will pass too. 💛 Happy #SelfCareSunday

Another busy weekend in Chicago as the temps heat up and we head outside... Bruno's at Soldier Field, one of the Kings of Comedy is in town and so much more! ow.ly/8x8M50Z0xtv
