  • Mini dress rehearsal (#ootd) because that's how I pack for trips. I'm headed to the #ColorComm in Miami for work. I don't get to dress up often anymore and one of my resolutions was to actually do something about that. So here's a self #makeover. I guess if I'm elevating my career somehow the outfit should reflect that. Unless I can meet people wearing #running gear (why not?)—of course, I'm packing #runninggear. Anyway, really looking forward to the events after seeing the agenda. I really hope other places see the benefits of having diversity in their companies. I'm not sure if my code-switching behavior will change but, it might help create more empathy. Recently, this is a topic I've been discussing a great deal with people and I do hope to write about it on my blog soon. I've never figured out the best approach to do so. Anyway, here are some of the outfits I'm wearing on my journey to be partially #fashionista #runnernotrunning #runnersnotrunning
  • Wearing #DopeFrida and my art on my bag along with the #FridaKahlo lipstick gift thanks to @mrs.boscic today 😊. My art progression is on @commuteartist Photo by @od1775
  • The team finishing yesterday at #toughmudderlongisland. These people were fantastic! 😂 Thought it was funny that some of us bypassed for our headbands. Thanks @od1775 for the video! #toughmudder #wundermudders
  • If you want to look badass, bring your own photographer. Thanks @mrs.boscic for capturing us today at the #toughmudder! 3rd mudder completed ✅
  • #toughmudder route. WTF is this? 😂 #toughmudderlongisland
  • What a day! Sorry loves, #ultramarathons and #triathlons are much tougher but it was good surprise to get a blue headband(since I've finally done 3). The other 2 that I did were more challenging 5 years ago. Maybe it was more dangerous? I remember us jumping over fire and shit! 😂😂😂 I'm really happy to have done this #toughmudder journey with my coworkers though because I got to know new people. I did every obstacle, unlike the previous times when I skipped one each. I didn't succeed at all but now I know what to work on. Btw, I also did ones that challenged my fear of heights so I'm really proud of that. I think I need to try a #spartan eventually. 👐 Also we spent more than 4 hours on feet, great training for my ultra so I'm grateful.

  • Ready or not? We are at #toughmudderlongisland for today's #toughmudder. Happy to be a part of @tigerellenlmt #bucketlist
  • I missed #curlfest this year because I had #nyctri the next day. Definitely going to try to make it next year. So many gorgeous #afros in one place 😍. Enjoy this video from @cocoabutterbf #buzzfeed. Most appropriate conversations and why I codeswitch throughout the day 😣
