Maiya. You have the sass and magic of Tinker Bell. The spiritual connection of a guru. I adore how you listen to your heart, to nature, to Heaven, and how you pray over dead bees. No situation or person has ever taught me more about life than you have. It is thanks to you that my heart is as open as it is. You made me a mama, sweet girl, the greatest gift of all. Happy 5 to my favorite little heavenly earthling. š§āāļøā¤ļø

Thank you sweet @tami_farrell for the @dinosaurslovedonuts pjās!
Meant to post our beautiful wedding trailer earlier today together with a proclamation of my love, but for now #reallife , two exhausted parents chugging coffee on our way to our escape for the night so we have energy to celebrate š„³ā£š¤Ŗ
ā£
H A P P Y S E V E N babe!!!!!!! ā£
ā£
Tip: you can watch the trailer @justinbaldoni š
My beautiful husband posted this video for my birthday yesterday. I share this because ā£
1. If you didnāt know Iām the biggest dork, now you know. ā£
2. Itās such a great representation of my intention and prayer for my 36th year, as well as for all of us. I pray hard that I continue to be brave, welcoming my shadows and willing to stay open to what they have to teach me about myself. And I pray that I continue to learn how to dive deep deep deep into the JOY. ā£
ā£
Iām a person who has been struggling with anxiety most of my life AND Iām also the person in the video. Itās confusing and weird and Iāve spent most of my life trying to control myself, to control my darkness and my light.ā£
ā£
But like the amazing @glennondoyle says (author of one of my favorite books Untamed), āWhat the world needs is more women who have quit fearing themselves and started trusting themselves. What the world needs is masses of women who are entirely out of controlā ā£
ā£
Letās be true to ourselves, and fully ourselves, letās get (or stay) a little weird, mad and creative and youāll soon see the world begin to change… ā£
ā£
And may we always find a reason to dance ā¤ļø
PLEASE TAKE ACTION ā¬ļø

SAY HER NAME – SHA-ASIA WASHINGTON
This sister Sha-asia Washington was 26 years alive, went to Woodhull hospital with high blood pressure that went left untreated for two days – high blood pressure (preeclampsia) is extremely dangerous and should be treated immediately. She died during C-section delivery. This was preventable. She should be here with her partner Juwan Lopez, and baby girl Khloe.
State sanctioned violence is not only happening in the streets at the hands of police, it is happening inside of hospitals where we are meant to go for care. When an institution fails to meet basic human rights standards, when they refuse to treat us for our conditions, minimize our symptoms or pain, dismiss our clinical needs – that is negligence. This is another potent example of the system functioning the way it was designed – to fail us. Black women are fighting for our lives. We deserve better. Sha-Asia was 26, like Amber Isaac who died due to medical negligence in April.
_
Itās traumatizing to read and to share. Itās the exact same feeling I have when there is a report about police murdering us. Itās sad, upsetting and unsettling. I canāt always speak right away. I need to process, because this is exhausting emotionally and spiritually. Black folk take care. We are constantly in mourning. Iām holding this family in prayer.

HERE ARE SOME ACTIONS YOU CAN TAKE TODAY

This year is not to make light of. But if I stop finding humor and joy, especially in the things my kids do, I will Cease. To. Exist. Here is my daughterās response to a world that feels absolutely backwards. When events slap humanity in the face on the daily, when most moments are spent trying to keep our ish together, and politicians stand behind their podiums acting like children, leaving the house with underwear on your head just seems fitting. Take it as a middle finger or a surrender to ALL that is backwards. But Iām here for it. #mood #2020 #maiyamymuse #VOTE

Always secretly filmed. I guess itās what I signed up for. AND, Iāll take this opportunity to recommend to everyone to begin and end your day with this. Itās what saves me on most days. Do it with your kids! Shake off what doesnāt serve you, draw in what does ššš»

Itās been 150 days since Breonna Taylor was murdered in her sleep by Jonathan Mattingly, Brett Hankison, and Myles Cosgroveāand her killers have not been charged. ā£
ā£
Too often Black women who die from police violence are forgotten. Letās stay loud, keep demanding justice for Breonna and her family, and SAY HER NAME. ā£

This 15 second rant pretty much sums up our evening. Our marriage. And 2020.
Spent our date night in doggy ER because @happybaldoni decided to swallow a huge sock.
Welcome to the Baldoniās night out.

SOO much good and relevant stuff in this one!! ā£
Chain letters arenāt my thing at all, but this one keeps knocking on my door and when it comes to #womensupportingwomen I am all in. Admittedly, this is the first time Iām hearing about the femicides in Turkey and from what I gather this āchallengeā was started to protest the hundreds of Turkish women getting murdered by domestic violence. Thank you to all of you who have been speaking about this and shiningā£ light on this issue that needs our attention. And thank you @sarabaldoni for sharing about @kadincinayetlerinidurduracagiz , an organization fighting the good fight against femicides in Turkey.ā£
Iām also grateful to be seeing people use this opportunity to remind us all to keep fighting for the justice of #BreonnaTaylor whose murderers are STILL walking free. Please call the numbers below, if we want to talk about #womensupportingwomen we MUST continue to show up and demand justice.ā£

We are living in unprecedented times in so many ways. We are in the midst of a pandemic, an economic crisis and the largest civil rights movement this country has ever seen…all in the midst of an election year, probably the most IMPORTANT election of our lifetime!
And one of the tools we possess is the right to vote. A right that should be a fundamental right, yet one that many have had to fight for and continue to fight for. The right to vote has always been about power…who has it and who doesnāt.
So as a way to lend my talents and skills to the fight and as a way to inspire us all to get out and vote, I got to create and direct this voting PSA with @levis and a few friends. I hope it empowers you to utilize your voice through your vote and beyond this election because we need ALL of us! We are all so damn powerful! Never forget that āš¾

Tribe! We must do something!! The regulations that are being proposed would make it impossible for 90% of people who receive asylum today to continue to receive it. Including all those seeking asylum because of gender based persecution. We need to overwhelm them with public comments!! Please submit yours TODAY using the link in my bio šš¼šš¼šš¼
