Salaam loves,
As we close out October, I can’t help but smile at how layered this month has been — faith, femininity, and a little spooky fun all wrapped in one. From self-advocacy to self-expression, this month reminded me that being a woman means embracing both the softness and the strength in our stories.

🌼 Coming Next: Sarah’s Oil
Inspired by The Inspiring True Story of Sarah Rector, my upcoming Sarah’s Oil Review is more than just a product highlight — it’s an homage to legacy, luxury, and lineage.
Sarah Rector’s story reminds us that Black wealth and womanhood have always existed — even when history tried to silence them. My take on Sarah’s Oil is a celebration of that same spirit: reclaiming what’s ours, nourishing what’s within, and remembering that softness can also be power.
💭 Final Word
Do not fear your purpose. Do not shrink your greatness.
October taught me that faith isn’t about staying small — it’s about standing tall, even when you’re unsure of who’s watching. Step boldly into your next chapter; the world is ready for your light. 🌙
With love & barakah,
Kareema
