Change Starts Here
I started this self-esteem blog to make women of color feel better about themselves. Too many of us settle for less because we don't think we can have it all. I hope these blog posts will help you realize you can have it all and so much more.

A couple of days ago, I was telling my friend about a girl who seemed to be taking on more than she could handle.My friend turned the tables around and asked, “Are you taking more than you can handle?”
That was an excellent question and she was right.
My major is very competitive, so I’ve been interning with at least once place (usually two) constantly since last June, I’m a blogger for two websites and I also work nights, sometimes full-time (I’ve even worked over-time). Plus, I’m still in school. Insanely enough, that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Every two or, sadly, three months I have a whole day to myself where I can just relax and center myself. Then, it’s back to the grind.
I know I’ve talked to you guys about challenging yourself before, but sometimes you can take it too far. Don’t end up like me (I’m working on it, I swear!) and spend so much time working that you forget to how to relax. There’s nothing wrong with a little ambition, but you’ve got to remember to make time for yourself.
When you’re finalizing your class and work schedules this school year, don’t forget to pencil in a some time for yourself.
I would like to thank Martin Belam for giving the site and my popular culture blog attention on his blog. You can read his post here.
