My Experience With Savage X Fenty’s Lingerie by Rihanna

I believe every woman should feel good about herself, especially when it comes to her physical appearance.

And what better way to do so than treating the amazing body you’ve got to some sexy lingerie? And guess what? You can do just that by checking out Rihanna’s Savage X Fenty line. When I learned about the line, I had to know what all the buzz was about. I’ve been a longtime fan of Rihanna’s work and have always admired her boldness and risk-taking when it comes to her personal style, but when I had the chance to check out her Savage X Fenty fashion shows on Amazon Prime? I was hooked. Before one of the shows started, Rihanna said, “Every woman deserves to feel sexy.” And I couldn’t agree more.

While some women absolutely love their bodies, I know shopping for lingerie can be uncomfortable, and maybe an area of struggle and shame for others who may not feel good about themselves. Sadly, many women struggle with how they feel about their bodies due to body shaming, physical and mental traumas, shame-based messages, rigid religious teachings about their bodies and sexuality, and more. But when it comes to your body and what you’re wearing, it’s good to know that it’s not about who sees it or what anyone else thinks or says. It’s about how you feel. And it’s important to love and embrace yourself.

The Savage X Fenty line is a whole mood, and the inclusivity commands attention. Rihanna’s vision and desire to include all women furthermore solidifies her status as a trailblazer. In the shows (which can be streamed on Amazon Prime), the models all had different body types and strutted with extraordinary amounts of confidence that I found contagious. Representation and inclusivity matter, and for me, they’re the kind of things I look for when I’m shopping for clothes, beauty products, quality brands, and more. The fact that Rihanna has taken this kind of approach and risk to intentionally and inclusively market lingerie for all types of women is inspiring and something worth recognizing and celebrating.

I ordered some Savage X Fenty items for myself, and I'm very pleased with my purchases. The different items offered are affordable and quality too. So, if you're interested in picking up a little something that will make you look and feel good, check out Rihanna's Savage X Fenty line here. Enjoy!

Thoughts From a Black Educator: Qualified, Credentialed, and Constantly Undermined

I’m a Black educator in my fifth year of teaching middle school English, and in my third as the 8th Grade English PLC (Professional Learning Community) Lead. And while I genuinely enjoy the purposeful work I get to do, seeing the growth of my scholars, and continuing to hone my skills in a content area I’ve loved since I was a little girl, I’ve had to confront some unpleasant experiences in this space. I’d been through much worse when I was an academic advisor at a Christian university. Racism, sexism, harassment, and workplace bullying were sadly norms in that environment. However, some of what I’ve experienced as a Black educator hasn’t been normal … It doesn’t seem normal to be the only Black educator in my department – in a predominantly Black school. One of my Black colleagues once said, “It should look like a Tyler Perry movie in here.” But it doesn’t. It didn’t feel normal being reprimanded in a meeting (during my second year of teaching) by an administrator who went in on...

The Day I Made A Will

When I was a teenager, I remember writing a list of my greatest fears. One of the things I listed was death. Looking back, it was an interesting item to list because inevitably, death is something each of us will face at some point in our lives. Even though it’s no longer a fear of mine, I understand why and how it’s not a comfortable thing for everyone to navigate. But regardless, this past summer I completed a detailed will. I signed it, had witnesses sign it, and got it notarized. As I was getting everything done, one of the witnesses looked at me and said, “You know, it’s just that you’re so young…” I’ve learned that death doesn’t care how young or how old you are. You can be five, fifteen, thirty, or fifty, and it’s still something that happens. Completing my will wasn’t scary. It gave me peace of mind having documentation in place stating my detailed directives and requests. A year ago, I had one of my kidneys removed. It was a surgery that came with risks that were presented cle...

A Taste At Colattao Coffee House

I love checking out new coffee spots. It’s nice to take in a space I haven’t been to before that’s so chill, it makes me want to go back and visit again and again. This is exactly how I felt when I stepped into Colattao Coffee House. The kind customer service, the amazing options, and the aesthetically pleasing décor were everything. The aroma of the freshly grounded coffee beans, along with the sight of their mouth-watering pastries didn’t hurt either. I’ve visited this spot just a few times, and always enjoyed myself, my drinks, and my food. It’s definitely worth the trip. If you’re in the Hampton Roads area and looking for a cool and cozy spot for a solo outing or to meet up with a friend, I highly recommend checking out Colattao Coffee House sometime. You’ll enjoy it!
