We’re celebrating my book Drink Water & Mind Your Business: A Black Woman’s Guide to Unlearning the BS and Healing Your Self-Esteem—the real talk, the boundary-setting, the minding-your-business, and yes, the hydration. 💦
This isn’t just a book signing, it’s a whole vibe. Come get your copy signed, grab a hand-hug (if that’s your thing), and let’stalk about self-love, self-worth, and why everybody needs to get their business straight.

📅 When: Friday, June 28th
⏰ Time: 6:00 PM
💛 Special Note: Buy 1 book, donate 1 to an incarcerated individual—because our people on the inside deserve healing, too.
Pull up! Bring a friend, your questions, your beautiful energy, and don’t forget your water bottle—you know I’m gonna check.
Can’t wait to see y’all! 💛
