Prayers May Not be Answered the Way you Expect

The debate around a woman's choice has been reignited by a Texas law, ultimately leading to the monumental Roe v. Wade case being overturned. This same law, however, opened a new chapter for my dear friend Carolyn, giving her the family she longed for. Recent events, both close to home and globally, prompt the question: Is fate at work, or is life a series of coincidences? Dive into a touching narrative where one woman's challenging journey becomes a lifeline for another's dreams.

Damson Idris is the FIRST Essence Magazine Sexiest Man of the Moment

I cannot believe Essence Magazine never had a sexiest man list like People Magazine!! African American men are often overlooked on that list, so we had to create out own. Check out this sneak peak that will be on news stands April 23.

A friend shared an Instagram post of Yamundow Camara, a real estate investor, who just bought her FIFTY-NINTH real estate property. Some time last year, I watched a video interview of how she started. Do you think this is something you could do?

Manifestation

Manifestation—the idea of bringing something you want into existence through aspirational-thought practices. It has roots in the 19th-century New Thought spiritual movement, which included the belief that our thoughts can influence the material world and, essentially, that positive thinking is the answer to most of our earthly problems. This concept of manifesting your reality through thought (or the “law of attraction,” as it’s sometimes called) can also be traced back to ancient spiritual teachings about the unity of your mind, body, and the universe.

I enjoy learning and practicing manifestation to achieve goals. I began studying its practices during the pandemic, and was able to manifest $20,000.

This book was very important in my interest in manifestation: Audacity to be Queen.
