I'm thankful for my family's health, that everybody's healthy. That's something that can be taken for granted, so I'm grateful for that.Collection: Thankful
It's cool to see all your dreams come to fruition.Collection: Dreams
I launched Little Lights of Mine because I was a young, 23-year-old new mom. I was home at the time and looking for direction. I started the blog as a place to just share everything. It quickly turned into a food-based blog where I would share all of my favorite recipes.Collection: Mom
I wanted to keep that message of food and family alive, and how it brings people together and builds relationships and communication.Collection: Communication
My happy place is my bedroom. I love it.
A good cut of steak is always a go-to splurge.
There's going to be a million people that tell you 'No' when you're starting out to do something. But, all you need is that one person to tell you 'Yes,' who's going to believe in you. But first, you need to believe in yourself.
My mom is Jamaican and Chinese, and my dad is Polish and African-American, so I had a pretty diverse culinary background to work with.
I feel like it's my duty to keep it real for my community of moms out there for both my own peace of mind and the fact that some of you may be going through or have experienced what I am!
For me, cooking is the only way I know how to show my love. That's why I am so passionate about food. It's such a love language.
I have what docs call hyperemesis.
My grandmother had mango trees in her backyard when I was a child. So it's always been an ingredient that I'm familiar with. It can be used in so many ways. My kids absolutely love it for a snack or in a savory dish.
I wear a lot of hair extensions because I'm doing a lot of shoots and things like that. But for me, a good edge control is really important, and then a headscarf at night.
You can have your cake and eat it too and follow your passions, have a family, and be happy.
It truly amazes me all the things you can add and mix in to truly transform a plain old bowl of oatmeal.
Shrimp and grits is a dish that I enjoy from North Carolina. It's one of those dishes that is so rich in flavor and texture.
I think it's important to be that strong woman and to follow your passions regardless of what your situation is.
People don't realize it hurts my feelings when someone looks at my hair or my eyes, and says, 'But you're not actually black. You're black, but you're not black black, because your eyes are green.' I'm like, 'What? No, no, I'm definitely black.' Even some of my closest friends have said that. It's been a bit touchy for me.
I will say no matter how many times you go through pregnancy and then phase into newborn life, it never becomes routine or normal.
Packing your lunch for the work week can seem like an unattainable goal especially when work gets hectic and crazy.
When you can't do what you love all of a sudden because of an uncontrollable situation, it sucks.
As a human being, I do feel like it's my right to be able to stand up for and speak on whatever I want.
I'm always going to stand up for my beliefs and stand behind them.
My family values are really, really important.
I feel really strongly about immigration because my mom is... from Jamaica. She still has a green card here.
I love bacon so much.
I love a good bowl of cereal. The unhealthy kind. Lucky Charms. Sometime I'll do Special K Chocolatey Delight, and I feel like I'm being healthy, but there's chocolate in there.
I live in San Francisco, and I love it.
Since developing my blog and YouTube channel in 2013, Little Lights of Mine, I've connected with some of the most passionate people around the world.
I'm always looking for new ways to create flavorful veggie dishes for my family.
Don't be afraid to try brussel sprouts! Delicious and full of vitamin C.
Hospitality and cooking are my passion, and I love nothing more than seeing someone's face when they taste an unforgettable bite.
My husband has been an absolute angel for me. Always there when I need him as best he can.
Who doesn't love strawberries? My family certainly does.
Mango is always a staple in my household.
I happen to love edamame.
I am a working mom, so to be able to have a space for my kids as well as a space for my work, it's just great. That is what balance is.
It's true what they say, and I am now a firm believer in the fact that every pregnancy is different for every woman!
I feel like it's so important to get your little ones' hands dirty in the kitchen. It gives them kitchen confidence, and it makes them feel accomplished.
One way I get my kids to try new things is by cooking with them.
Creating a meal for somebody, it's a way to show your love.
Anytime I prepare a meal for my family, I am putting all of my time, effort, energy, and love into it.
My husband really loves my feet.
Food strengthens my family bond while it nourishes my body.
I take a few moments in the morning just to breathe while I drink my morning coffee or right before I get out of bed.
I love dessert.
Marriage has given me a little family of my own. We hold each other accountable, love each other, and always are there for each other. I feel more balanced now because I know what it's like to care for others.
Marriage has given me the gift of compassion.
Motherhood is far better than I expected. I love it with all of my heart.
I want everybody to succeed.
