Hey beautiful people,

Last week, The Women of Bad Boy Brunch went DOOWNNN!!! Talk about an empowering and uplifting event. Women from all over and some gentlemen came together to network, eat and create lasting memories.

Held at Cafe Salsera in the beautiful neighborhood of Deep Ellum, ORS Olive Oil partnered with the event to travel the country delivering powerful panel discussions. Hashtag was #NoStereotypes where no matter what shade, hair texture, or preference you have, everyone is more than welcome! Photos from the event are at the bottom.

Total was in attendance and Faith Evans team were there. Unfortunately, Faith did not make it due to travel technicalities. However, it was still a great event.

Many questions were asked and not only the panel had the answers but it was an open discussion. Some key points that sparked my mind are:

We can be so over-critical of ourselves. We punish ourselves, we look in the mirror and I need to lose weight. We make a mistake and call ourselves stupid. No more, no more!!! I used to tell the kids for every bad thing you say to someone you have to say 2 good things about them. We can do the same for ourselves. Every time we think negatively about ourselves we should correct with one good thing and then another to always stay in the green. #nostereotypes #bloggersbelike #browngirlbloggers #dallasliving #dallaslife #lifestyleblog #positiveblackimages #positiveliving #heygirlhey #womenofcolor #womenempowerment

My biggest thing that I am trying to unlearn is discounting or not accepting peoples compliments of me. I would always have to say, “Really, ughhh I…. But thanks” Now learning to accept and embrace if it is coming from a good place or not. We as women like to discount or devalue things about ourselves, we have to stop doing that! #nostereotypes #bloggersbelike #browngirlbloggers #dallasliving #dallaslife #lifestyleblog #positiveblackimages #positiveliving #heygirlhey #womenofcolor #womenempowerment

No compromise, it doesn’t lessen your worth or value. Sometimes you have to do things to survive and I’m not saying rob a bank or kill someone but taking a job that you don’t like or isn’t what you want. #nostereotypes #bloggersbelike #browngirlbloggers #dallasliving #dallaslife #lifestyleblog #positiveblackimages #positiveliving #heygirlhey #womenofcolor #womenempowerment
