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!

The Day I Became A Kidney Donor

About a year ago, I had a dream my dad wanted to talk to our family about something serious. I wasn’t sure what he wanted to discuss, but I knew it was something I needed to prepare myself for. Around the time after I had this dream, I remember stopping by my parents place and sensing something was going on that they weren’t telling me. I tried to dismiss what I’d been feeling, but I couldn’t shake it. Something serious was happening. As I returned to my home after visiting them one day, I was in my kitchen washing dishes when a heaviness hit my heart like nothing I’d ever felt before. Something’s wrong with dad. That’s what that dream was about. God, what’s going on? As I continued washing dishes, I started crying and praying. Then in mid-spring, my dad held an unexpected family meeting that would change all our lives forever. He hesitated at first, and as his voice started cracking and he started crying, he said, “Well, I wanted to talk to ya’ll to tell you that I have kidney disea...

I’m Glad I’m Not Married

When I was about five years old, I was sitting in the backseat of my dad’s car when me, him, my older cousin (my aunt’s son), and my aunt (my dad’s sister) caught my aunt’s fiancé with another woman. My dad had been driving my aunt out to run some errands since she didn’t have a driver’s license or a car. When she spotted her man with another woman, she told my dad to pull the car over, got out of the car, and immediately addressed him. She wanted the keys back to her apartment and was done with him. The other woman she caught her fiancé with slapped him when she realized what was happening, and that was that. When my aunt returned to the car, she was clearly and understandably upset, and the ride back to her place was quiet. Although I was too young to fully grasp what was happening at the time, I knew it wasn’t good. And now, at 34 years old, I can’t imagine how much pain she was in. Her wedding had been planned and paid for – and she never made it down the aisle. My aunt was a beaut...

Dear Young Black Professionals

As you embark on your career, I want you to know some things and stay woke about what you’ll be up against. Please understand that no matter what, you have value, and you matter. Always remember that. As progressive as this world and different workplaces may seem, every workplace has a culture. You’ll be in different places where a lot of people who don’t look like you will be in the room. But know that you belong in those rooms too. Spend some time observing and studying those spaces and learn as much as you can. There will be people you work with who will make presumptions about your competence, education, and ability to fulfill your job duties. There will be more who will think less of you because of the color of your skin and try to disqualify you the moment you make an error, mistake, or ask questions about things you may not understand. This will all feel uncomfortable and you may get insecure, feel like you’re all by yourself, and think you don’t belong there, but ride it out...
