Hi Friend, Today's affirmation for Black Women: you are already qualified.  you are enough.  so do the thing!  you have picked up way more knowledge and experience than you actually give yourself credit for.  You know enough to start.

Dear Friend,  Black woman, trust your intuition.  your gut doesn't lie. learn to trust yourself again. People pleasing drowns out your own inner voice and causes you to question yourself, become indecisive and have low self esteem.  It's a gift. Listen to it. I'm learning to trust my intuition again and it's taking time.  Your gut doesn't lie.  I keep looking for permissio...

Dear Friend, Black women are trained by society, parents to betray ourselves for others.  We start to distrust our intuition and our soul. We start to tell ourselves little lies because we think we have to believe it.  But in order to heal and become Free Black Women, we have to tell hard truths.  In this Black woman affirmation, my hope is that you recognize how you've been lying t...

Dear Friend, you don't have to have the answers in order to start something new.  Whether you wan to start a new project, career or hobby, don't let your perfectionism and fear stop you from beginning.  Start messy.

Hi Friend, you already have the answers.  trust yourself.  we are trained not to trust ourselves, but it's time that we got quiet and really checked in with ourselves about what we really want and need.  Chart your own course and trust yourself.  Your intuition is speaking to you, it's time we listen. much love, joy and rest, Alecia Get my free affirmational music: https://alec...

Dear Friend, I loved Black Girl Magic at its inception, but I quickly realized the problem with Black girl magic and black excellence.  It's not very inclusive, it demands more than it gives and it feels like hustle culture by another name. We needed "Black Excellence" and "Black Girl Magic" to celebrate and uplift ourselves, but we tend to use Black girl Magic or Black Excellence as a divisi...

Dear Friend, Being a strong Black woman almost broke me.  This is my Depression Story.  As a Black woman, there is so much shame and stigma around mental illness.  Dealing with depression and anxiety as a Black woman comes with a lot of judgement and expectations, and it's so much worse in the Church.  Toxic positivity runs through Christian culture and people are suffering bec...

Dear Friend, I deserve an easy life and so do you.  Black women deserve ease, joy, peace and fulfilment.  This new year, I am prioritizing JOY above all else, and hustling and grinding was not bringing me joy.  But how can we realistically do it? I took a two week break from creating content for YouTube, Podcasts and work and really struggles with being present.  The world is u...

Dear Friend, The fear of aging keeps you from living your one and only precious life.  We can age gracefully as a Black woman, but it goes way beyond wrinkles.  We need to learn how to age gracefully and joyfully so we can enjoy life to the fullest at any age.  Why do women hide their age? Why are we told to never share our age with other people?  Ageism and the idolization of...

Hi friend, being a Black woman is hard.  Black women deserve safe and soft spaces.  Being a Black woman content creator, I've been getting questions asking why I create so much for Black women.  I LOVE BLACK WOMEN.  Black women are always being told that they aren't enough and I aim to remind them that they are enough.  That they matter.  That they are loved.  My...

Dear Friend, You are not behind in life. You are exactly where you are supposed to be. I know it can feel like you're a late bloomer, but every stage is beautiful and you are blooming today.

Much love and joy, Alecia GET THIS SONG AND OTHERS HERE: https://aleciarenece.me/feelgoo...

Dear Friend, You're not lazy, you're just tired. Get rid of the shame that comes with rest. Are you lazy or are you just exhausted? Go get some rest and be okay with doing nothing today. There is so much shame around Black Women Resting. As I always say, "Hustle Culture is Not For Black Women". This is about self care for overwhelmed and overworked Black women. Heal and Rest. Much love and joy, Al...

Dear Friend, You are not too sensitive. If you're anything like me, you've been told that you are too sensitive for many reasons. But what if your sensitivity is actually a gift and a strength instead of a burden. I wrote a song to all of those Empaths out there and Sensitive Black Folks who have been told all of their lives that they need to build thicker skin. You don't need thicker skin, you ne...
