Dear Badass Black Girl,

Go back in time. Give yourself two or three hours. Bring out everything and anything that will help you travel back to the past: old calendars and diaries, photo albums, letters, cards, souvenirs… (You should probably also take out your phone to explore some of your social media shares, but remember to stay focused.) Relax, and look for moments in your life when you have felt a strong positive emotion—pride, joy, satisfaction—after making something verbally, artistically, intellectually, with your hands or physically, that you know (or feel) was the expression of your deep being.

You produced it effortlessly, and it gave you great pleasure.

List these different moments, and find a common denominator: I animated a group, I prepared a meal, I listened and advised a friend, etc. Create a Pinterest board, and pin images that symbolize these successful moments. Create another board with skills that are meaningful to you but still need to be sharpened. Commit to work on these skills regularly in order to fully develop your talent.

Kenbe,

MJ
