Celebrating Black Maternal Health Week #BMHW25

Mom and three kids Greetings from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania! Things have been busy. I am still a working mom of three, working full time who is trying to make a difference. I do a lot of things and try to be present so that I can learn from them. I share them on this blog so that we can learn together. Below are some thoughts, hacks, and/or lessons that I have learned from navigating my world. Black Maternal Health Week April 11-17, 2025 I am a Black mom to three wonderful children. I was blessed to have three successful births. While I am an attorney, my third delivery highlighted the potential risks that occur when a physician fails to listen to the birthing person. Initially, I chalked it up to the physician involved and limited it to my personal birthing experience. Then, I learned that I was not special. Overwhelmingly, Black women experience higher rates of birth trauma, birthing complications and negative birth outcomes.  These statistics are what lead to the creation of ...

A Holiday Gift: The Target + Neiman Marcus Holiday Collection


There are certain fashion events that get me excited—New York’s Fashion Week, any visit to Century 21 and the collaboration between Target and Neiman Marcus. When I heard that Target and Neiman Marcus were collaborating I almost lost my mind.

One of the hallmarks of unique American style is to mix high end with low end. I love seeing women with diamond earrings a diamond encrusted watch, a fur vest and their favorite jeans. It’s so very rock star! I sometimes rock a similar look except I’m missing the dripping in diamonds part… J
 

The Target + Neiman Marcus Collection = Pure Genius

That’s why I thought that the Target + Neiman Marcus Holiday Collection was pure genius. Neiman Marcus is the epitome of luxurious style and Target is the epitome of practical style. I love the Neiman Marcus Christmas book. However, I have never been able to fit the Aston Martin, diamond covered bra, or the bejeweled baubles into my budget.  For that reason, I was thrilled to shop the Neiman Marcus collection for Target this morning.

I actually put the event on my calendar. When I woke up this morning I was on a mission! I wasn’t able to get as many things as I wanted from the Missoni for Target collection last year and didn’t want to miss my opportunity again. I was nervous that I would miss out because I woke up late. However, I got lucky!

I am so grateful to Target and Neiman Marcus for bringing a little more style into this season at an affordable price. I scored several things this time—items from Lela Rose, Tory Burch and Jason Wu.  These are some of the best designers in the country and they will be under our Christmas tree. I am also giving some items to some lucky people in my life as gifts. 

You should check out the sale soon. I am certain that the items will sell out.

Happy shopping!!!
