It’s OK to feel this way, but let me just break this down for you girl Some of the world’s most remarkable women started after 40
Viola Davis hit her breakout role at 43.
Toni Morrison published her first novel at 39.
Julia Child didn’t start cooking until her late 30s
Many women start businesses, change careers, or find love later in life. You are not behind. You’re becoming. And the best chapters might still be ahead. Achievements aren’t always trophies on a shelf. They’re in the lives you’ve touched, the strength you’ve shown, the healing you’ve done, the times you kept going when you wanted to quit.
2 years ago this week, Rihanna made history as the first pregnant woman to cross the stage of the Apple Music Super Bowl and it became the most watched bowl by a female artist of all time. (121M)
Not trynna sound like a Stanley cup feen but these cups are literally magic. They just never cease to amaze me. I put ginger ale (Canada Dry of course) with some 7eleven ice in my cup around 6-7 last night and I just woke up and had a swig (I usually keep only water in it)
One of my best friends just told me that my haki is so powerful only the right person can handle it and I’ve never loved a compliment more in my life 🥹 #IYKYK
