POV: You’re building a business one pop-up at a time. 🖤

This weekend I packed up Kasual Closet and headed to another pop-up event in Asheville. There's so much that goes into these events that people don't always see—planning inventory, setting up the booth, talking with customers, creating content, and learning something new every time. O

🖤Coffee. Books. Quiet Moments.🤎

Some of my favorite moments are the quiet ones—a warm cup of coffee, a meaningful book, and time to reflect. Reading history reminds me that every page holds a story, a lesson, and a legacy worth remembering. It's one of the ways I continue learning and honoring those who came before us.

When I visited Birmingham, one question stayed with me... Why here?

Out of all the cities in America, why did the Civil Rights Movement choose Birmingham? The more I researched, the more I realized the answer wasn't random. Birmingham was one of the most segregated cities in America, and Reverend Fred Shuttlesworth believed that if segregation could be chall

Is Juneteenth the Wrong Date? Let’s Talk About It.

I've been thinking about something lately. I've heard people say Juneteenth should be celebrated in December because that's when the 13th Amendment was ratified. But that made me wonder... If Americans celebrate July 4 instead of July 2, why is Juneteenth's date questioned?
