- hey boos 🫶🏾,
i'm finally pulling myself out of my sad girl funk and we're back with another video :)
I've been having a few emo weeks, but I think what I've really been loving is reconnecting with my momma and leaning on her a bit more and letting her into my world. If you follow me on IG/TikTok, then you've heard phone convos between me and my mom before, lolll. Well, she's back again and I just love the way she pours into me when I'm down bad or my lil' feelings are hurt. can you and your momma relate? comment below!
YES. I quit my 9-5 and i'm now a full-time creator (!!!) cannot believe I am living out my literal dream. the Universe is amazing. thank you all for your continued love and support to help get me here- I LOVE Y'ALL DEEP 💗. the sky is not the limit. keep dreaming and keep pursing. Don't stop!
YES. I went on a date. Omg, it's amazing what a few months can do lol. time is truly the healer and essence of everything. I did some chit chatting on what I envision my dating life to look like right now in this season of singleness for me and i'm curious to know where you are on your journey of singleness and dating, if you are?
i hope your week is going amazing! take care all ways, always. enjoy! xo ❣️

Came for the matcha stayed for the vibezzz
perioddddd! shout out to us Matcha loversssss! so happy you stayed for the good vibes 🥰❣️
Can your mom give us all that same pep talk??😫 she's definitely a REAL one & coming through with the words, I need to post her message on my page to listen to it for my own motivation lol
LOL. she’s such a real one. so happy her and i are reconnecting again and she still pours into me like we never fell off 🥹💕 and yes girl! post it, save it whatever you gotta do. i get it, this single life after a while gets tough AF! sending you big hugs!
@@AmaniRakeia thank you babes! I really needed that
@@AmaniRakeia stopping using profanity and put your trust in God, you're not happy because you're not Christian
Right can we get a feature from mom 😍
Your mom gave me so many NYC vibes. I was like yesss this is how we pep talk frfr!!!
Girl I literally quit my job 2 weeks ago to pursue my path.. the fear exists but I have faith in myself and the divine. Because as you said we wouldn’t have gotten the vision of it wasn’t for us.
It’s an emotional roller coaster but having a 9-5 that is not in alignment is also an emotional roller coaster.
omg! yessss big big shoutout to you! it’s not easy to drown out the opinions of others and the fear they might instill in you! you got this, i’m rooting for us both! congratulations, sis! ❤
@@AmaniRakeia CONGRATULATIONS TO US!!!
And that’s so true, I have people around me that believes that only hard work can reap benefits and I always tell them I’m doing heart work, I’m not forcing anything. I didn’t come here to be in survival mode, I came here to shake some shit up and experience ease..
@KHATANIA So Divine "heart" work over/vs hard work yess I'm loving this!! 💛
Said the same thing to my 32yo! Baby, YOU are the prize! Know your worth! You don't have to settle! Wait on God to send the one who will support YOU with your goals!👏🏽👏🏽
“ it’s ok to be lonely, just assuring yourself you’re not alone. “ needed to hear that.
so happy that resonated with you boo 🥹💕
Nah…your mom is definitely IT!!! Omg!! I love the way she uplifts and encourages you.🥹🙏🏾
awww, thank you soooo much! one thing about her is that she gonna keep it 100, while still being so gentle 🥹💕 love her!
Loool her mom gave her utter GARBAGE advice
This is what happens when you grow up without a dad. You grow up believing utter nonsense like "just be patient, the right man will come along" 😂
If she had a dad in her life she would have someone to actually give her a plan to get what she wants, instead of empty hollow words leaving her stuck at square one

That momma talk is needed! I promise as a person who rushed it when I was your age and starting over at 31, she right! Take the time to just be, live, work, travel bc the right one will fall into your lap through. I dipped out when the bs was bsing lmao! It’s not worth it!
yessss, it was SO, SO needed! definitely working on my patience during this journey. sometimes it's hard, but other days i'm glad i don't have the added stress of an emotionally draining or toxic situationship. you're so right! 💗
Your mom is EVERYTHING!!!! EV-VER-YYYYYYY-THING OKAYYYYYYY!!!! Love her and love these affirmations for you!!! EVERYTHING she said🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
she truly issss! thank you so much boo! 💗
The mom talk had me in tearsss!! Congratulations on starting your new journey ✨🎉
awww babes 🥺💞 thank you so, so much!!
The chat with you Mom was everything. I wish I grew up having talks like this with my Mom. Your Mom sounds so proud. She said I DID THAT. LOL😂. I love it.Your such a beautiful young lady. Giving Brandy Vibes. And everything your Mom was saying was pure facts. In due time everything you desire will come. I'm so glad to be able to see the journey. I think young people should discover themselves more before being tied down in a relationship. Travel, move a couple of times, and really learn what you like and dislike. I got pregnant young at 19 and did the single Mom thing so I didn't have the freedom to explore the world like I could have. And now that I have a adult kid I'm trying figure out what I like and dislike and reinvent somethings before God blesses me with that one. Enjoy the journey young lady with no meaningless soul ties. You're doing a great job Honey.
awww, thank you so much for your sweet words. this made me smile 💗 these past few years in LA alone have been such an interesting journey and chapter of discovering myself. there's so much more for me to explore and learn on my own and i'm excited for it all. it definitely does get lonely at times, but i know it'll all come together in due time.
@@AmaniRakeia you got this Boo.
@@ajiawillis7447 thank you so much!! 💗
Loving all the support in the comments!! This is my sign as I’m constantly looking back at all the years I’ve been procrastinating on my calling and I makes me deeply sad. But I know it’s not over until our last breath so I’ll get my mind, spirit and body back on track and figure out the next step. For now thank you for the virtual motivation! 🎉 sending you hugs all the best lovely!! ❤
omg, me tooooo it's warming my heart 🥰. it's never too late! i think the most beautiful thing is that you've found what your passion is and now you're ready to create an action plan. once i get to the point of making that action plan i feel a huge weight lifted off my shoulder. i'm rooting for you my love!! 💗
thank you for including your convo with your mom!
felt like she was speaking to my soul, too!!!!!!
hiii babessss 💗 at this point, she's all of our mommas lollll love you moreeeeee!! thank you so much for watching 🥹
Congrats on taking this huge step towards being your true authentic self. That sponsorship was definitely a sign.
thank you so, so much Alexis!! 🥺💞 it wasn’t easy, but i did it any now i know that anything is possible. so grateful for that sponsorship 😭🙏🏾
Moms was spittin that REAL 🤎
I honestly feel the same regarding my dating life. Hearing your mother talk to you reminds me of my own mother. I legit started to tear up with you. Love this and you have a new subscriber!!!
yes girl! setting these boundaries for myself is as i'm re-opening myself up to dating again is so, so important! thank you so, so much for watching and being here! 💗
Today makes a month that i quit my 9 to 5 to be a stay at home wife and mom ❤ congratulations to you , it’s freeing
ahhh, omg!! congratulations to you, sis!! ❤❤ it’s so freeing!! i’m rooting for you!!
had to spin the block real quick to peek into the archives. watching you affirm your belief and trust in yourself is so inspiring and the convo with your mom made me cry. much success to you ms. amani 💕
aww man. 🥹 i discovered your channel about a week ago & i’ve been binge watching since then, from your first vlog to now & what a full circle moment, the self-employment, the 10k subbies & the date. ❤ wishing you all the best. really love your energy, your living alone diaries have been so therapeutic and an inspiration. love from South Africa!x
I hear the New York accent in momma. She reminds me so much of my childhood friend who’s passed 😢 and always given great advice but boy did she talk fast 😂 I miss her so much and wish I can hear her voice again
LOL yes, she's been in NY all her life. i'm so sorry to hear about your childhood friend 💗. sending you big, big hugs
i just discovered you and i love your energy!! i’ve been in a posting slump and you’ve given me motivation ❤ so happy you’re making the moves to be happy!
My mum gives me these talks too! It’s hard but I think it’s just a reminder that something good is coming! Settling is not an option tbh
i love that!! and you're so right. settling is not at all a part of the plan! 💗 we got this!

I rewinded back 3X to hear your mom’s pep talk. I needed to hear that message. I’m gonna record that & put it on my phone 💯💯

I've fallen in love with this channel 💗
awww, this made me smileeeeee thank you so so muchhhh! i really appreciate you for watching and being here 🥹
You got this❤ we are here for you 🎉
awww, thank you so so much!! i appreciate it 🥰
YOU ARE PERFECTLY ON THE RIGHT TRACK.. 🎉KEEP IT UP!
Congratulations on doing what makes you happy. That’s what life is about. New sub I really love your channel.
Kudos to you and making that move, very brave, excited for your next steps!! I left my job of 5 years about a year ago, it was definitely a leap of faith, and it was the best thing. Love the pep talk from mom, 100% agree that you don't want to settle and lower your standards for companionship. Focusing on my career and leveling up in life has shown me fewer and fewer options though, so that's probably the other side of the coin. I've recently adopted the same approach to dating that you described, less pressure, more fun, enjoy!!
your mum made me cry too. She the best ❣
awww my heart 🥹💗
if you settle you gonna get a bag of bs!!!! yesss mommaaaa - thats a momma!!!! Glad I came across your page again --- proud of you girl!!!!

🫶🏾peace and love
1. Mom was talking to us both😭 I felt every single thing she said! Love that.
2. Where is your tye die hoodie from?? It’s so cute!
she sure waaassss a MESSAGE!! LOL and my hoodie is from this brand called Neoity. i think they have an IG and wesbite too! i ended up getting it from the Melrose trading post here in LA.
Girl I wanna live the same way! I’m battling waking up w such stress and uneasiness of the day cause this job is not it for me ugh
girrrrrl, i could not keep doing and living that lifestyle any longer. it wasn't worth it. sending you big hugs on your journey babes 💗
Keep your head up dear, I’m in the same boat as you are but trust me I’ve been talking to my lord and savior to keep me afloat, keep my mental health in order and just as your mother said keep praying God will send the right person along. I know waiting is hard and it gets lonely but it will happen on Gods time and not our own timing.
thank you so much for your kind words my love. it truly means a lot, we got this!
💚💚💚
❤❤❤
Yes to boundaries. And good luck, sis. I met my now husband on Hinge. Best decision I ever made even though it took my best friend a while to convince me to join me 😂
boundaries are important! still working through learning how to stand firm on them, but it's a process. i loveeeee this for you!! you gotta tell me more about your hinge experience when meeting hubby! 💗
Yessss living in your authentic truth can be scary but it’s what you are put on earth to do. It’ll all work out for the better foreal🥰🤍. I love your mom pep talk omg, she’s the best
you're so right! authenticity and vulnerability is so key on my journey! no fake sh*t over hereee loll. my momma is a trip sometimes but i love her!!
