Soon, very soon, I will be on the beach again, and I can't wait! There's something about it that just makes me feel connected to God. The Creator. Life. Breath. Existence.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✴︎⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I took this pic during my trip to California last August, and it reminds of the first time I went to the beach. I was so in awe, and it was like my soul and being became one. It was the moment I knew that I had to live somewhere near the ocean, because I just felt at home.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✴︎⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It reminds me that oftentimes, where we feel at home isn't necessarily where we were born, where we grew up, mindset, or the people we're related to. Sometimes it's a totally different place, group of people or perspective. And that's okay.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✴︎⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I feel like the ocean and beaches were made just for me, lol. Just like each of us were made at a specific time, in a specific location, for a specific reason. Where do you feel at home? Where do you go when you want to feel totally secure, aligned and at rest? #sincerelysharee
There is no mistake in the way you look, think, process the world around you, create the way you do, feel the way you do, or show up in your environment.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✴︎⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There is a reason for your existence, exactly as it shows up in the world, from the good to the bad and the ugly.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✴︎⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you allow it, God will use every single ounce of it for your good. Remember that we’re often the ones who determine what we’re going to let make or break us - including what we think we are or aren’t.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✴︎⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
May you always choose to believe that you have all you need, and are exactly who you need to be to become and do all you dream of! #sincerelysharee
I can’t believe it’s already been a year since my first web docu series “Back Home” premiered on @watchblossom, a digital network that features content for and created by women of color.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✴︎⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I had an amazing time working on this project and look forward to what’s coming up for me this year - another narrative short, a short doc, a screenplay and more!

I remember that in 2012, I was leaving my job and one of my co-workers told me that I was too nice to work in film and television and that they’d eat me alive. For the past five years, I’ve been working in the industry, and who I am has been exactly who I needed to be to get where I am, and this is just the beginning.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✴︎⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don’t EVER let someone tell you that who you are is wrong for the dream inside of you. If God planted it in your heart, it is especially made for you, regardless of what anyone else says or thinks. Periodt! #sincerelysharee
Perfectionism is wild. It will have you believing that you have to be this way, do that, not do this or meet some invisible standard in order to deserve anything good. And when I say anything, I mean big, small, all of it.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✴︎⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One day, after thinking of all the amazing things happening in my life, I asked God, “Why me? I don’t measure up.” After a few minutes, I heard “You’ll never be able to do enough to ‘deserve’ what I do for you and through you. I do it simply because I love you.” -God⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✴︎⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
From this moment on, I was able to take the focus off of my performance, imperfections and shortcomings and place my attention on the Creator’s love for me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✴︎ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now I am free. From self-doubt, self-judgment, self-loathe and most, if not all negative thoughts and beliefs about who I am and what I can or can’t do.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✴︎⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Everything I am is rooted in who Christ is, and who I am in and through Christ. In this I am liberated to be my most authentic self, allowing God to transform me from within.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✴︎⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So I don’t have to be what I think is “enough”, or “worthy” to experience God’s goodness. Love has deemed me worthy of it all simply because I choose love and it has chosen me. So the next time you feel like you aren’t good enough, know that you are, and will always be! LOVE said so! #sincerelysharee
My first week as the Public Relations Director at @CAASTLC is complete! It’s been an amazing past few days and I’m so happy to be where I am today. It’s truly a blessing that I could not have dreamed of.

Just know that what God has for you, is for you, and it will always be for you until you claim it, while you conquer it, and in the midst of maintaining and growing it!
✴︎
Not only am I working for an organization whose mission touches my heart and moves my soul, but I am there to CREATE. I will be writing, producing videos, making a lot of something out of nothing and it feels like everything is aligned.
✴︎
Every day, I will be using my God-given gifts and talents, and doing what I’ve always wanted to do all day, every day - create.
✴︎
I realize that I am @CalledtoCreate (which is an amazing book that changed my perspective and shifted my beliefs tremendously)! From blog posts to films, social media graphics, articles, and more, this is MY thing.
✴︎
@Shawndreat, thank you SOOOO much for thinking of and advocating for me for this opportunity. You have changed my life more than I’ll ever be able to describe. I am so thankful for you and you will always have a part of my heart. Love ya! 😘💖🤗
✴︎
And what feels so right about it is that I can do it all while being my authentic, true self. It’s one of the most amazing things to experience. And I hope that one day soon you get to live it, too. Pursuing your calling, purpose and reason for being born will make sure of it. Love ya and have a great weekend! #sincerelysharee
I don't know about you, but I used to be SO hard on myself. And more often than not, that rubbed when it came to my expectations of the people around me.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✴︎⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
See, I've learned that God told us to "love your neighbor as yourself" for a reason. You can't love someone else if you don't love you first. 99% of the time, we treat others the way we treat ourselves. Everything springs forth from the seed, the root.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✴︎⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Over the past several months, I've given myself permission to be me - 100%, raw, unfiltered, authentic, real. I've looked myself in the mirror, peeked through the windows of my eyes to see my soul, and a lot of was reflected back at me didn't represent what I wanted to manifest in the world.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✴︎⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So I beat myself up about it, until I realized that the only way I was going to be able to transform into my hopes and dreams is loving myself right where I am. Today. Because none of us are perfect, and none of us will ever be perfect.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✴︎⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I decided to love ALL of me, and give myself room to evolve, shift, renew, stretch and grow. I feel so relaxed, mostly anxiety-free, and comfortable in my own skin like never before. It's a beautiful thing.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✴︎⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Be kind to yourself. Focus on accepting who you are and doing what you can to become who you want to be. Take it one day at a time. Enjoy each moment. There will always be something to strive for or grow towards, so marvel at the process. Take note of the little things. You'll be happy you did. #sincerelysharee
