NYOKI LEWIS HUNT

Celebrating My Fellow Xquizitely Flawed Melanin’ Moms It is the month that we celebrate Mothers and not only am I blessed and proud to be celebrated but I am also honored, proud, and x’cited to celebrate each of you! It’s the gift God gives, that truly keeps on giving and the only thing I would change if I could turn back time would be taking more time to cherish the moments even when life was tough. I felt the need to take time to remind you of the importance of self-care, by way of, being mindful of speaking to yourself the way you speak to others. What do I mean by that? I’m so glad that you asked! Too often we are second-guessing or beating ourselves up because of what we • did or said wrong • what we didn’t do enough of or in time • what we think we should have done diferently or better • and I can’t forget the emotions that try to drown us when disappointment hits our kids The reality is we make decisions at the moment with the best intentions at heart, based on the knowledge that we have at the present time. In no way shape, form, or fashion should you be beating yourself up once you learn something new at a later date! That stops this month, today as you’re reading this! It’s essential to realize your self-care is more than a Mani/Pedi, facial/massage, brunch with the besties, and meditation! It also includes

• recognizing that no is a complete sentence without feeling guilty • recognizing that the frst person that has to be understanding when they talk to you is you • and actually implementing that same energy for yourself that you use with those you love. This month be intentional and stern yet gentle when administering tough love on yourself. We are all #XquizitelyFlawed. It’s important that you embrace the faws of your motherhood journey and believe God every time he reminds you of how dope of a Mom you are! When we were given this gift it didn’t come with a written manual, YouTube tutorial, or masterclass but please believe; he trusts that you are doing your very best!

I’m rooting for you and wishing you the Mother’s Day of your most intimate dreams; you know the one where you want to wake up in Bali and have Brunch and Bellinis while foating on clear blue waters. Ok maybe that’s MY dream LOL but you get my drift! This month especially, I celebrate you, Happy Mother’s Day & I also want to send a very special Mother’s Day wish to my mother, sister, and niece #muah
