Dog Lessons

If you want to go on a journey where you learn and are inspired by a few life lessons in the form of poetry, thought-provoking questions and observations inspired by my toy poodle Zack, you’re at the right place. Also, feel free to share what your furry family member has taught you. We truly can learn so much from them and the unconditional love they give us. ☺️

Have you ever let someone else's label define you? 💭 Marissa remembers starting her career and feeling like she had to prove herself constantly—trying to speak up but barely able to get the words out. Are you proud of how you handle conflict, or do you wish you'd be braver? Have you ever noticed the micro-aggressions Black men face every day? Like being seen as a problem just for existing in public? Drop a 🔥 if you've witnessed this or felt it yourself. They deal with stereotypes — at work, in sports, parenting, even just shopping — and still, they show up vulnerable and strong. It's crucial we see their full humanity, not just the stereotypes. Are we really giving space for that? Would love to hear your thoughts. How can we create a safer space for Black men to be their true selves? Ever wish you could tell your younger self to stop giving so much power to bullies? Ever feel like you're stuck between sounding assertive or being labeled "angry"? Are you letting your confidence slide at work? Are we truly teaching kids to stand up for themselves, or just hoping they figure it out later? How strength training at the gym made me more assertive — and it can do the same for you 💪🔥Ever felt intimidated approaching someone at the gym? I used to. But now, I walk in with confidence — all because of strength training.
