“Work hard in silence, let your success be your noise” ~ Kim 🔥🔥🔥

[@valencia9981]

Frank Ocean, actually.

[@Gracieinspired]

I’m pretty sure this saying was around before Frank Ocean popularized it. My African dad used to say this and other African proverbs to me and my siblings all the time when we kids, and I’m 37. I’m glad he introduced this concept to a younger generation though.

You are a gem for every young woman and man. And even to a mature person like me. Your story is amazing. You seem to have made huge strides which would probably have occurred just with growth, but you really put bells and whistles on the journey! Just awesome. I’d love to hear your journey on your academic successes and your views on managing money! So sorry for the wounds you carried so many years! But grateful to God you learned how to cope and then some more! Blessings in your amazing future beloved! You have a lot to give. Don’t stop telling your story! I’m sure it was very motivating for so many to make changes in their lives. Blessings..😃😃😃😃🙏🏽🙏🏽

The "set goals and shut up" hit me so different. I have always felt like I do so well with my goal progression until the moment I start sharing small successes with everyone and trying to pull people along with me. This happens in so many instances, such as your weight loss journey, business goals, savings... I swear... it happens all the time. I said the next time I diet, I will keep it to myself. Thank you so much for the confirmation of my thought process on this.

🗣Sis!!! When I tell you I needed to hear this LOUD & CLEAR right now… I know this was nothing by GOD and HIS timing. Thank you so much Kim with tears in my eyes. So many similarities in life and mindset and needing to make the major shift. There is so much here for me to unpack mentally, emotionally and spiritually! I will speak so much of this “pouring into others” while not actively elevating myself. And I know better. Thank you for the reality check. I just cashed it in… starting today 5.7.23. With love and gratitude! ❤️ GOD bless you and anyone else who needed this right now. 😌

[@stacylawson488]

I was 6 minutes into the video and had to stop. By the time I was 21 my Mother had passed away and my father was already re-married with another family. I was angry about my Mother passing away so young and the same year she passed I got pregnant with my first child. I have never really leaned on my family financially and I wish sometimes I had. I just walked into my kitchen and told my daughter that you so eloquently were speaking to my life. As TheBossyChickSix14 stated I NEEDED to hear this today 5/9/2023. I have dedicated my young years to husband(s) yes plural and family and my children often times putting myself last. Now I sit and wonder where has my life been and where am I going? But God, after listening to you so many things have been made clear, like a light finally turned on!!! Thank you for being so vulnerable and willing to share your story! God's continued Love and Blessings for you and your family and to those others that need to hear your story.

I'm 69 yrs young and have debilitating anxiety and I have an adult child with mental illness who drains me emotionally but I'm committed to being there for her as we only have each other as family. What you said about anxiety and gratitude not being able to co-exist.. and if you make a point of acknowledging gratitude several times a day it will combat/counteract your anxiety.

Awesome tips Kim! As a Therapist/Coach, I always tell my clients that change requires change. If you want something different you have to DO something different. We are to be transformed by the renewing of our minds- Romans 12:2. The walls that we build to keep out pain also block us from experiencing joy. It's time to begin to tear down those walls and start living an authentic life... in peace :) Gratitude is key!!!

You used to hide behind "the wall" out od fear of being hurt, you avoided sharing the "deeper" info about your life, you have been on social media long enough to know that you can get hate for even a make up video. Still you decided to be vulnerable, you decided to share things which weren't easy for you, because you know this video could help someone. I can feel the warmth, positive vibes and honesty in you. You don't have to TRY to be like the door guy, you ARE the door guy. Thank you for this video

So spot on, I was so “woe is me” and fell into depression and was always angry and a dark cloud a few years ago, but I decided to change my mindset and victim mentality and I’m doing a lot better now. I have a more positive approach towards life, it’s very far from perfect , whatever perfect is but I always look to the positive, I have my down days but i don’t let myself stay there , but in my sober reflection I’m amazed at how far I’ve come and how I’m so much more than that dark cloud I used to be .

You should Google what the affects are on daughters who grow up without fathers. I’ve only met my dad once at the age 19 and he got mad I didn’t know who he was and me and him literally were fist fighting in the grocery store 😮 growing up without a father as a girl can lead to early sexual activity, ✔️, teen pregnancy, ✔️, depression and anxiety, ✔️ and substance abuse. I teach my kids this because now I’m a single mom with daughters and I refuse for them to be the statistic. ❤

Moving to a new state, trying to figure out student debt, still gotta go to grad school, helping bfs parents pay rent while I stay with them...I feel so inexperienced and worried. I grew up in a dysfunctional household and have been having some issues with trauma resurfacing. I keep saying my parents this, my parents that. I need to keep being reminded that yes things were crappy but I'm an adult and I'm responsible for me. I can fix myself and work through the trauma to start healing BUT I also have to stop with the momma and daddy blaming. Got dealt a crappy hand of cards but it's my job to win the game 🙌 Thank you ❤

Kim, I’m so glad you decided to make this video. I felt the same as you growing up in terms of never feeling like I fit in and growing up in a single family household. I know in previous videos you mentioned Baltimore as your hometown. I’m also from Baltimore. I’ve tried so many things to upgrade my life such as going to college, getting my certifications, moving to multiple states trying to figure I where I belong, building my professional experience, etc. but it always seems like I come up short because those opportunities I went after just fell through. I feel like the economy is to blame. Things are so out of reach and so expensive nowadays; it’s so hard to build wealth, especially if you don’t have a talent, spouse, or resources to help you thrive. I feel like I did all the right things in my life. I went to school, I have a job, I never got in trouble with the law, I’m in good health, I have supportive family…all in all, I’m blessed, but I’m still struggling immensely! It’s hard out here in these streets! I just want to thank you for having the courage to be vulnerable on this platform. I feel you are extremely talented and have a lot to offer and I’m so glad you are sharing your story with us to elevate other people who may be having a hard time.

Love this! I have been following you for years. It’s really nice to see you being transparent about some of the personal issues you have endured and grew through. It’s very relatable to us all! You indeed are a Beauty, Seen, Fabulous, Talented, & So Worthy! We really do appreciate the content you have to share with us on your channel! Thank you! 🩷👏🏾

[@lovingmelovingus5404]

This was beautiful!! I love this channel, but I'm going to have to say this is the best one I have seen from you! Not only are you beautiful Chic, but you are so inspiring. Thank you for this, I truly needed this❤️💯🙏🏾

[@mediamogulmom1129]

Thanks Kim! This really hit home! I'm going through some changes now & really needed to hear this! Everything you shared was on point! ❤❤❤

[@fancifemarie1770]

Thank you for this video girl! This was soooo GOOD! I had a really rough day today...I literally broke down and cried and told myself that I hate my life right now and I don't know how I got here. I needed to see this. I will start implementing your tips tomorrow❤the old you and I have ALOT in common! Thank you for being transparent and speaking from your own experiences...thank you for speaking with kindness and hope🥹

[@jerecasvision]

Seriously thank you so much for posting this. This is really helpful because a lot of times we can get into the mindset of no one knows what I’m going through or we can feel like it’s just us alone but everyone does have traumas. I really appreciate this video thank you opening up I know that’s not easy at times. ❤

[@jadakizz78tulie33]

I have been watching you for so long. I have loved your growth and all your transparency. Thank you❤

[@drvizzi1100]

Thank you for this… I’m actively working on being a better version of myself!!! I needed this video today ❤

[@kanikad7084]

I’ve been following you for years and I fell off from watching your videos simply because I stay off of social platforms, but I’m appreciative of you sharing some of your story and inspirations. I can relate to soooo much that you’ve said and since I made certain changes in life I also began to thrive. Not exactly where I want to be but I’m getting there. Keep doing your thing beautiful!❤

[@yasminm1385]

Wow! I have watched you for many years and have always admired your spirit! Every time Ive asked a question, you were so genuine. Would never have thought this was your story. Have always admired you, but knowing that you truly built yourself and overcame to get here is that much more inspiring. Thank you for sharing this.

[@martigross5751]

This testimony is definitely going to help a lot of people. Thank you. I can relate to a few of the characteristics you described. Growing up in Baltimore city to a single mom, I felt different because I wasn’t doing what most of my family and friends were doing, so that made me the odd one. But thank God I knew better. Keep proving positive Light. Peace and Blessings.

[@favoredfifi7466]

Thank you so much for the transparency Kim ♡. I as an 18 year old girl really needed to hear this especially since I just came from church... I can relate with most of what you've shared

[@crystalpar1359]

Your story made me tearful because it hits so close to home. I literally said she's telling my story. I'm sorry for what you've been through but i'm so happy for all that you've overcome. You give me so much hope and inspiration. Thank you for sharing!

[@Goodnitesweetie]

I felt every word of this !! So relatable and transparent ❤❤ Beautiful vulnerability

[@Mrs_Chiques]

Well done for being so candid and open. A lot of people would have us believe that their worlds have been perfect from day one. I hope you continue to enjoy your newfound joy and peace and that you inspire others to do the same ❤

[@larawright9260]

This was much needed. Thank you so much for sharing more of yourself. ❤

[@newlifenewme7316]

Thank you for your vulnerability. You have no idea how many of us have gone through the same things and feel alone and ashamed for it. You’re beautiful! Keep spreading your light!

[@nitaatkinson4707]

This is by far one of the best vids I’ve seen on KZbin

[@LoveKJ222]

Hey Queen! 1st and foremost you are so beautiful inside & out. I have been following you since you began on KZbin. I appreciate the fact that you shared your personal journey with us. I also understand why you have been so incognito personally all these years. Please keep the videos coming. You certainly touched me ✨

[@amandadean3948]

This was so inspiring. And you absolutely radiate the joy, peace, passion and happiness that you’ve discovered for your life. Thanks for sharing! 🙏🏻

[@tianathompson6891]

Dear sister, I have to tell you that this message really touched me in a way that I needed. It really amazing how the universe works. I have been thinking about this very subject for some time now, and today, you confirmed the changes that I know I need to make in my life! Thank you so much for sharing yourself with us! When you said emulate someone that you admire, YOU are one of those people for me. I have watched your transformation for several years now, and WOW 👏 PLEASE continue to do the work and share your journey with us. Sending love and positive energy your way 💕

[@theresawilks9426]

I thought this video was so thoughtful and very inspiring, your old self is my oldest Granddaughter who has just been so angry for a lot of years and still holding grudges. You just made my deep talk with her easy I am going to apply a lot of the things you just said and share over your video. Thank you for all you do and YOU JUST MADE MY DAY❤

[@aprilstone31]

Hi Kim. I know it's not easy opening yourself up like that but you are right. Some ppl may not know how much you've gone through to get where you are. I think this platform is a good way to share and inspire others. Sending virtual hugs!
