Last month, one of my line sisters reached out to me about teaching a candle-making class for a group of college students. How dope!

If there’s anything I’ve learned within this first year is that it’s never about me, but always about those who are going to benefit from Love Speaks.

It’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This month marks 5 years since your passing, yet still i remember it all like it was yesterday. You are loved and missed, Mo!

Lord, I pray for my friends. You know their hearts far better than I do. You know their problems deeper than I could ever comprehend.

I remember my first experience. I was nervous at the thought of sharing heavy emotions with a stranger. My baggage was too heavy to toss on family and even my closest friends, yet still too personal to let an outsider in on it.

Hi, my name is Rolby Seneus and I am black. To be honest I am Haitian, but I do not very often get to share that with people. All they see is black.

We see you.

Moms, we see you.

To those who have given birth to us.

Dear COVID-19, you crept up on us without acquiescence. You caused an interruption to our routine. For many of us our lives are now forever changed.

In just a few weeks our lifestyles have changed. Truth be told, it will probably continue to change as we get used to what we will now call normalcy.

“Man up!” “Suck it up and move on.” “You better not cry!” We hear these phrases in our homes, on social media, and even our friends tell us to “drop it and let it go.”

Happy New Year! I hope 2020 is off to a great start! As we begin this new year, I wanted to take the time to remind you how important it is that you focus on your self-growth, self-love, and emotional intelligence.

If your year was anything like mine, then I know that it was an emotional roller coaster! So many tears, yet so many smiles. As we prepare for 2020, here are 19 thoughts and things I want to encourage you to leave in 2019.

For months I had been praying for different things in life. Career breaks, healing for my loved ones, and opportunities for me to learn and grow in different aspects.

Can you please stop asking me what’s next? Some of us who graduate from college have no clue what’s next. That place I interned at all year, yeah — they didn’t offer me the job.

Every day I wake up, and again life surprises me. Old problems that haven't been dealt with reappearing, new problems slapping you across the face as if they are there to stay.

Love yourself enough to believe that your next great thing is attainable. Shoot for it. All the generations before us have made it so much easier to be an entrepreneur.

Nothing happened to us, we just grew distant. The memories from high school still live within me, the random adventures still makes me smile, and our late night talks remain dear to me.

Lion King tried to teach me this when I was younger, but I could not grasp the concept. I could not understand how one could be born into this world, live a full life, overcome adversities, then die.

You are genuine. You are strong. You are compassionate. You are caring, valuable, and most importantly, authentic. I’m sorry that negative stereotypes always come back to haunt you.

How can something so good, end up so bad? One second you are having the time of your life with whom you believe to be your soulmate and the next you are crying and dwelling on what could have been.
