While I’m traveling for two weeks, here are a couple favorite shots for the postcard series.

Well, if only it looked like this. This shot is an underground hall of the Wieliczka Salt Mines in Poland.

  • I am so grateful for every single one of my dear readers who have built an incredible grassroots community around my books. Raw, real, and original. From the deepest depths of my heart... Thank you @brandipageturner 💖 - Review on @fable 

#books #gratitude #bitterhoneybook
  • Glad Midsommar / Happy Midsummer from my fam to yours 🌸

A time was had with lovely friends 🩷

#Summer #Midsummer
  • My love for @allies.cosmetics goes way back…  5+ years.

Back to when I sent their lipglosses and eyeshadow palettes as part of our book influencer kits for both my novels @ineverymirror and @notenough.book ❤️ 

So this is not a sponsored post. I simply love the brand @iamayshajones has built and I also work with their makeup artists on my @theafroswede shoots 🩵💛

Support AfroNordic businesses. Always 🖤

  • To actively and intentionally choose rest is to respect yourself. 

To respect your body and your mind. To fully live in the gift of the present.

A scenic road-trip from Helsinki took @shekasgram and I deep into the lush countryside to witness the amazing estate that is our dear friend @katjapresnal’s beautiful canvas @presnaldairy - a former 125+ year old dairy farm 🤍🩵💙

Beyond relaxation that comes with proximity to nature, staying at the property overwhelmed me with joy. Over salmon smoked on a grill for dinner and piping hot homemade buttermilk biscuits for breakfast made by @mattpresnal, staying at @presnaldairy was the mental and emotional reset I needed.

To rest is to love yourself. To rest is to reconnect and deepen friendships.

To rest is sacred. 

Thank you @shekasgram and @katjapresnal for reminding me of this ❤️

Follow @presnaldairy and witness its renovation as it transforms into one of Finland’s treasures.

  • I’m still trying to put this weekend’s first ÅFRÖNỌ̀RSK photo session in Oslo, Norway, into proper words…

The joy, the energy, and the soulful connections shared  this weekend 🇳🇴 ❤️

I’ve started editing the images and can’t wait to introduce you to some amazing and brilliant AfroNorwegian creatives as well. 

For now, this is the face of gratitude and disbelief that I found my purpose early on in life, and get to be the vessel for this work 🙏🏽❤️

Plus, sunlight on melanin ☀️
