Hello, my name is Alisha and I’m a 25-year-old biracial woman. There’s something I feel I need to say on behalf of myself, black people, and people of colour. Let me start with this, I have gone to church my whole life and I can’t remember ever hearing a message preached on racism or systemic [...]
Hello everyone and happy Wednesday. Just a friendly reminder that you’ve almost made it through another week, no, matter what’s happening in your life at this moment you’re making it through.

This year I won’t be around for Canadian Thanksgiving, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been thinking a lot about gratitude. This past year has been full of change and a lot of great experiences, & it’s really brought me to a place of being thankful. I touched on it last week on my blog [...]
So this past weekend I did something crazy. I went to two different concerts in one weekend, not something I would recommend because you're definitely going to be exhausted, but I talked about how at every concert I just take a second to take everything in & be in the moment. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn-T1qDhXQk/?taken-by=alishajoy What I learned [...]
