You need to be celebrated young black sista for the work you are doing. Keep moving forward and upward 👆. 💕 your videos.

[@idarabassey7455]

It's a real pleasure to see some content from an influencer NOT focused on Fashion Week...self-care is a topic we can all relate to and women of color more than ever need to prioritize it. I see a real commitment to self-growth and being of service on your channel that is rare on KZbin- thank you for being intentional and substantive!

[@hevxhev]

" I became confident by building resilience. I built resilience by failing. Welcome failing, welcome falling, because that's [one] way to ensure you're growing. Think about how many of us wait to recieve applause when we're winning? That's when it is easy to celebrate, for other people to celebrate... But your riders? Are celebrating you and your failures because they're just waiting for you to get back up" ❤️ Continue to love it here

[@dawncoe1293]

I love how your content isn’t ‘just’ fashion. It’s just edifying in so many ways. Enjoy your break. You deserve it.

[@adriennemoore4789]

Yes to a health and fitness vlog!

[@shanimajones1983]

YES, talk about your health and fitness regimen! The body and skin. Is giving!!

[@PoliticsFashion]

thanks love!

[@teeknight4142]

The "word" you blessed us with about failure 👏🏽, u were absolutely correct. Applaud during ur failures or when u think u r not doing so well is everything, feels so much better than when u actually are winning. I enjoy seeing you on here. U always come with a "word". ❤️

[@rachel6ix]

Our childlore is such a fascinating part of our culture! No one knows how we all seem know those hand games. It’s a phenomenon.. that says to me there’s some ancestral things going on there. So cool how children pass on tradition. I saw two girls playing hand games while waiting in line for a roller coaster and I was floored to see it since this young generation is more techy. It’s survived so long!

[@daniahmiller3336]

"I just feel like if I can write about it, it'll be okay." I get this on such a deep level. Journaling has helped me through some of the most painful, confusing experiences of my life. The act of wrangling overwhelming emotions with language is usually what positions me to begin feeling, processing, healing, and eventually communicating. It slows everything down. I can tell that I'm moving in the right direction when I can finally write about it.

[@QuannieTips]

I love to see you in your element Lady T. Thank you for everything you do and proud and honored to see you out there representing and just giving back is an understatement. You take as much rest sweets. You deserve it.

[@PoliticsFashion]

Thank you sis!

[@carolparker5685]

Oh snap! Failing shows growing and learning...and everything you drop on that note. Yasss girl! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️🇹🇹

[@reneegwaunza9659]

Love your saying praise in the mist of pain ❤

[@karenmickens1239]

Yes to the skates. Been doing it for 60 years but slacked off a bit during some of that time, however; it is like riding a bike, you never forget.🥰 Love you sis.❤️

[@howellareyou2024]

Yassssssss, Pittsburgh - The Steel City! I lived in 'The Burgh' for twenty-two years! STEELER NATION! Yeah baby!

[@teemizzle81]

As always, you are everything! May The Lord continue to Bless and Keep You.

[@RobynHeliece]

Come through with the word, Pastor Shira!!!!!! Your confidence and fearlessness are such an inspiration. Praying God continues to elevate you in purpose, beyond what you could ask, think or imagine.

[@kathleenharris8824]

Good for you for taking time off Social Media. I enjoyed this vlog. Self care is no longer an optional thing it is vital.

[@Rochlynn]

I loved loved loved this vlog! The self-care segments were refreshing and a great reminder. Also, I am originally from Pittsburgh, now living in the DMV. My heart was warmed that you were in “Da Burgh” advocating/facilitating for our girls. My hometown is underrated and and gets no love, so I was touched that you highlighted some things that folks don’t see or think of when they hear “Pittsburgh”. Thank you for your work. ❤ 🙏🏾

[@trekkigrl]

I love that you’re learning to skate. I’ve been roller skating again since I was 44. ❤

[@joycemorrow5840]

This warms my heart from what you share with us and all that you do and will be doing. You’re a great mentor for the young and the old community. I’ve shared your content with my grand babies to watch and learn. Like my grandmother use to say to me I can rest well eternally knowing my babies will do well in life.

[@PoliticsFashion]

thank you soooo much for the love and affirmation ♥️

[@MJCreative-Bleu96]

I grew up skating early; it was really a THANG!. I had those iron skates where you had to adjust the the foot gear with a metal key Lord have mercy; what great times! As a teenager the past time was going to the skating rink! Great times and so glad to know that skating is still going strong! Keep it up sis' and know that you are always worthy and you are always enough!😁😁😁

[@letsalltakeawalk6906]

[@dxxoo768]

[@anewdon]

Sissssssss!!! Been skating for over 25yrs, hubby even longer and it is a real community. You did amazingly on day 1, that cross over took me bout a year. The train was hooting that "rest is needed". 😊 I'll be checking for you when you return. Love your vibe

[@lebrown3301]

That grape and cashew concoction looked yummy. Teach me!

[@terrycampbell5380]

I love what you do outside of fashion although I love that too 🥰 You are amazing 👏🏽 🙏🏽

[@Cheryl_lynWilliams]

Congratulations!! You Are AWESOME!

[@theselfishjourney]

enjoyed this. I really want to get into journaling but I think I try to hard to perfect the writing instead of focusing on getting my thoughts onto paper.

[@strategicallystyled5459]

Grew up outside of Pittsburgh, currently live an hour away. Glad you had a nice visit!

[@specialagent412]

Listen...I am new here. Love your content. Really refreshing spin on being a fashion and lifestyle blogger. Love it all. Secondly, I live in Pittsburgh. Kinda familiar with Gwen's Girls, but clearly I don't know enough. Thank you for bringing me into more awareness of whats going on in my own city! You are such a beautiful woman inside and outside!

[@anitadelacruz4897]

I so loved the drumming and dance! My students are teaching me how to tik tok for our Hispanic Heritage Celebration at my school. Congrats to your 50,000 on ig! On our way to 100,000 and more dear!

[@christinajoseph2624]

You are my person😍😍I just love all your content.❤

[@cammy0214]

It was the mini sermon for me! I received that! 🙌🏾

[@sarahmccormick1976]

Enjoy your time off - you so deserve it!!

[@MsRight-sb5ds]

Awesome, I am originally from Pittsburgh! Have fun!!

[@shontemartinez7826]

I like to journal too. I write what I'm going through, goals, personal achievements and failures. I have some that go back a few years and sometimes I reread them. I also picked up skating. I used to skate in my younger years and had so much fun. I told myself I'm going to do everything now that I did when I was younger. I wish NY had skating rinks like ATL. NY rinks don't have the wooden floors they have rubber and it's fun but its not the same. Keep skating it's fun and you get some leg work.

[@Tonikka]

Thank you for sharing and inspiring 🙏🏾

[@wlachappelle]

Hi sis, I'm so glad that life is good to you keep doing what you doing
