The space of being for you - is where it’s at. The space of being for you - is where it’s at. 

This #WithLoveLydiaWednesday, I want to remind you that being for yourself isn’t self-ish. 

Before you expect anything from others…
Before you influence…
Before putting what you desire out there…

Be for YOU, first.
Y’all are probably wondering why I’d post this Y’all are probably wondering why I’d post this pic of my 15-year-old self. Heck, I went back and forth about whether or not this needs to live on the internet. God forbid I become a meme. Don’t try me!

But truth be told, this version of myself had so much figured out. The Metro flip phone clipped onto my belt says it all! She was fearless, didn’t focus on lack, and was determined to get it out the mud. Back then, the goal was to be the flower that grew from concrete.

Today, I realized that there had been times when I’ve gotten in the way of the sure version of myself.

Am I alone? 

Sometimes when talking about inner-child work, we forget some of our most resilient years. I want to encourage you to sit and reflect on what you can gain from each version of yourself this #WithLoveLydiaWednesday, and not to be afraid of showing it.

Now, you ain’t gotta post a picture like I chose to! But let them show up. Learn from them.
My heart smiled when @BlkWomenHustle reached out t My heart smiled when @BlkWomenHustle reached out to stating  that they wanted to recognize me for the ways in which my storytelling elevates Black businesses, elevates our people, and moves culture forward. 

I am grateful to know that how I show up on and with purpose is felt. My mission is to build community through integral storytelling. 

Little Lydia would be so overjoyed to know that her dreams are being fulfilled.

It is such an honor to be listed and named alongside of so many women who are moving, disrupting, creating access and new possibilities for our people through entrepreneurship, intrapreneurship, and how they see best fit

I can’t wait to connect with them all.  I’m especially grateful to be seen and known in this way. 

Thank you  BlkWomenHustle for this recognition!
