Yesterday’s news should have surprised me more.

Yesterday’s news should have surprised me more. I don’t want to be apathetic but just search the hashtag #breonnataylor on twitter and the amount of painful tweets will send you spinning to a dark place. The lack of justice and the layers of systemic racism that Black people have to face on a daily basis is so heavy and I want to be a part of the change. I can’t fix the system alone but I can be a part of the change. Every day I can do something to make a difference and that is exactly what I’m doing. During the darkest times in this pandemic, (the viral and racial) a group of 14 of us Black women got together, took an oath to serve, empower and make real space for Black women in our field of marketing and we called it The Standard @canadianblackstandard If you’re feeling at a loss, I am too. But I’m posting this picture, this picture full of joy, to hold onto the hope that we can make change. To remind you that we all deserve peace and joy. I call on all of you to do what you can in your fields and communities to break the ties of systemic racism and help us all create a more level and equal playing field. To equality.
To justice.
To joy. Photo by @jayrowe #blackjoy #blackgirlmagic

This week on CWC + Friends, Chris Ford (@butterlov

This week on CWC + Friends, Chris Ford (@butterloveandhardwork), will quickly encourage you to bet on yourself and take that leap you've been sitting on the fence over. Chris and I have worked together over the past few years and his (edible) art is nothing short of perfect. The best part is, he works his ass off and takes no opportunity for granted. Chris Ford took the leap from Corporate to create his own business @blhwshop and has never looked back. You may recognize his "breakables" from @chrissyteigen's story, @kimkardashian's KKW fragrance launch and his @blhwshop seasonal sellouts. Yes, to us it seems like he's done it all but in his mind, he's only just begun. Click the link in my bio to listen now 🎧 Discover where it all began and how Chris stays inspired. Cowes, when there's a will, nothing can get in the way 🔥✨

Collagen is all the rage these days and it’s the

Collagen is all the rage these days and it’s the one thing I totally believe in to keep my skin looking good. After a summer of indulgence I’ve been really focusing on my health and incorporating things that easily fit in my life. First thing in the AM, I kickstart my metabolism with healthy fats and 10g of collagen peptides from @vitalproteins collagen coffee creamer. My AM Coffee Lineup:
- 1 long shot Nespresso
- 1 scoop of Vanilla Vital Proteins Collagen Creamer
- 1 tablespoon of Mumgry Smooth Peanut Butter The best part, Vital Proteins is now officially available in Canada, you can find @vitalproteins at your local @healthyplanet store. Check out my story now for how I make my morning coffee ☕️💛

“Not bad, huh, for some immigrants?” One of m

“Not bad, huh, for some immigrants?” One of my favourite lines from Jay that I like to pull out every time something pretty wild happens. Something wild like a 12 page spread in @hellocanadamag They gave me the freedom to hire who I wanted to make me glam so I shot for the stars with my team @janetjacksonhairstylist @theglamlifeco and finally having a black hairstylist and makeup artist I felt super confident with my skin and hair bc they knew exactly what to do. The incredible @talia_stylist searched for BIPOC designers without much lead time and she was able to get this incredible dress from @gretaconstantine (that I call my hater blocker as I can’t pop my head right down into it with its incredible turtle neck) and jewelry from @omiwoods She also got us my other fave local jewelry designer @_jennybird and has advocated and spotlighted local designers all of her career. she writes personal handwritten letters to buyers requesting not only more inclusive sizing but also more BIPOC representation. Speaking of advocacy, I have to take a moment to shout out @belcourtassociates who as a friend advocates for myself and other women of colour daily. As a woman with crazy credibility in our field she could have done what most people have done to me, written me off as a divorcee who started out as a bartender and has failed many a times. Instead this woman has lifted me up, cheered me on and believed in my talent in a way that makes me want to cry just thinking about it. Thank you, Deb. Finally, this feature means so much to me because @thebiancat took the time to listen to me, allowed me to spotlight what means most to me, my family, my career and volunteer work with @theremixproject and @canadianblackstandard If you told 19 year old me that it would take time and a crazy amount of hard work but I would achieve a lot of my dreams, I don’t know if I would have believed you because I couldn’t see it anyone like me doing it. As I sit here today I hope these pretty pictures translate to hope for one young girl of colour. PS Thank you for the catchall @maryratcliffestudio and @hellocanadamag for all of this! 📸 by @constant_scott
