I’M THAT GIRL
Many of you know me, but few of you know me.
I’m tired of doing the things that break my soul. Deadass.
Does that mean I hate those things? No.
It just means that I don’t get any energy from it. I’m an anxious introvert, so I only have so much to give.
I want to do things that matter to me, small and micro businesses, and my community.
Welcome to my renaissance. (Of course it’s Beyoncé themed!)
xx Ray / Rachel (she, her)

What’s on your list?
starting at 8:21 ...
“wherever you can find hope, follow it.
and remember, you are never alone.
lean on that strength of togetherness.
keep the collective strong. stay focused.
don't talk about what you're gonna do.
don't just dream about what you're gonna do.
don't criticize somebody else for what they're not doing.
you be it. be about it.
be about that action and go do it.
keep your eye on your intentions.
don't let any outside distractions or your own insecurities stop you from your goals.
embrace that struggle.
surviving that struggle will strengthen you.”
