Choosing to look after others and make them happy sounds like a noble thing to do but doing it at your own expense isn’t being kind to yourself. You must sometimes choose yourself. You must look after yourself and do what is best for you. You can’t pour from an empty cup. I have had to crash so many times to really understand this. For the longest of time and […]

One of my 2023 resolution is to stop wondering if I’m good enough for other people and start wondering if they’re good enough for me.     I made a decision a few years ago to carefully and intentionally select people I let into my life and I must say it was and still is worth it. Not everyone deserves an access card to your life. Not everyone should be […]

  I am big on conversations around self-love but this time I want to switch it up and hit another pain point, self-doubt. According to Webster doubt is defined as a lack of confidence in, to call into question the truth of, to be uncertain, to consider unlikely, and it can even mean fear. It is 2023 and we are not about to let doubt stop us from being great. Doubt yourself? […]

By Shai _Quan If you are a single like single for real like me, here is how we can make ourselves feel special on Valentines Day. At this point I feel like I am single every Valentines Day so whatever, lol. But I still don't want to feel alone on the day especially as a hopeless romantic. Who said you can’t enjoy Valentine’s day as a single independent woman? These […]

  One thing about Shai_Quan? She will hold on to things sooooo badly until it hurts her to the last core before she let's it go. I am still trying to figure out why and where I picked this bad habit at and why I am struggling to let it go. However I do think I do not want people to feel like I have given up on them too […]

By Shai_Quan   Maerua Mall did something that we don’t see happening much these days especially in January and something that really made all the difference in people’s lives. When I first got the brief of what the Maerua Mall activation was all about my heart was filled with so much joy because giving back is something that I am very passionate about and something close to my heart. The […]

By Shai_Quan When I became a mother, I knew I never wanted my children to feel the way I felt as a kid or even as a young adult. I promised to ensure that their self-esteem would be high. I remember the Pastor at my previous church, Pastor Mike Amey always sharing how he has daddy-daughter times with his daughters and how he keeps assuring them of their worth and […]

Last week, I had a conversation with a very close friend of mine about how imperative it is that we choose ourselves more this year, regardless of how much it hurts. One of the struggles I have had over the years is choosing myself... I do not know how to put myself first and be a little bit more selfish and it is something I am still trying to unlearn. […]

By Shai_Quan The cliché of “finding yourself” always made no sense to me until I actually did. On my journey of self-discovery and finding out who I am and what makes me unique just scratches the surface honestly. Discovering what makes me truly happy, the kind of people I want to surround myself with, and what motivates me to work hard has shaped who I am and what I will […]
