Hey Fam! Welcome Back to THE NEW AFROLIT!
This week, I got a chance to have a conversation with multi-talented media maven and fashion designer Senami  Atinkpahoun to talk about something we have in common: OUR MANY GIFTS! The blessing that it brings, also comes with much responsibility. 

We discussed:

-Is the quote: Jill/Jack of all trades, master of none still relevant? 

-How do you hone in on your gifts/talents

-Would you still do it if you weren't being paid? 


-Tips on finding a healthy balance to do it all 

-Morning Routines

-Making time to relax and practicing self-care/love

Hey Fam! Welcome Back to THE NEW AFROLIT!

This week, a full circle moment, I had the pleasure of hosting Paakow Essandoh, Founder and CEO of MIZIZI Streetwear, a brand rooted in highlighting African countries and the Black diaspora at large. We had great dialogue and really just sought to answer the question: Does Mental Health Matter in the Immigrant Dream?  How do we live our dreams and STILL have an endorsement from our parents...Can we ever? 

We discussed:
-How to set boundaries for your own mental health, regardless of what family/loved ones say
-The importance for solid friendships
-Dating as a young entrepreneur
-Advice on how to stop overthinking and get it done!
Tell us your thoughts? How do you protect your mental health?
