Pride in the Journey

The Power of Belonging

This past weekend, I went to Homecoming at Howard University — my daughter’s college — and let me tell you… there’s nothing like the energy of an HBCU.

Everywhere I looked, I saw pride. I saw legacy. I saw the next generation of leaders, creators, and dreamers who look like me and my ancestors’ wildest dreams. The band, the energy, the fashion, the joy — it was all Black excellence personified.

But what moved me most was the feeling of belonging. A reminder that when you step into spaces that reflect who you are, you remember your power. You remember that you’re not doing this life or business thing alone — you’re part of something bigger.

That same spirit is what Simply Living Me stands for: creating spaces — whether through this newsletter, the community, or the brand — where women can be fully themselves and thrive in purpose, abundance, and authenticity.

The Simply Living Me Mindset Assessment

At Howard, I was reminded how community shapes confidence. And that’s what the Simply Living Me Mindset Assessment was designed to help you uncover — the part of you that’s ready to rise.

This 5-minute quiz reveals which mindset pillar you lead with:

🌿 Authenticity – showing up as your truest self

💎 Abundance – believing you’re deserving of more

🌞 Clarity – trusting your direction

🦋 Independence – choosing freedom on your own terms

Take the assessment today and see what part of your mindset is ready for its own “homecoming.” ✨

Coming Home to Yourself

Homecoming isn’t just a weekend — it’s a mindset. It’s the act of coming back to yourself.

In life and entrepreneurship, we all get lost sometimes — chasing validation, comparing our journey, or doubting our readiness. But the truth is, you don’t have to become someone new. You just need to remember who you already are.

That’s the work of Simply Living Me — helping you realign with your power, purpose, and peace so you can create a life and business that feel like home.

Wear Your Confidence

The Simply Living Me Store was created as a daily reminder that you are enough — evolving, growing, and glowing in your own lane.

🛍️ Grab your Authenticity, Abundance, Clarity, or Independence sweatshirts, mugs, and hats today — and wear your reminder of who you are.

Closing Note

Whether you’re walking across “The Yard” or walking through a season of growth, know this — you are part of a legacy of women showing up fully, chasing purpose boldly, and living simply, yet powerfully.

Here’s to finding your homecoming moment — every single day. 💛
