#SaturdayVibes Do you realize the force that lies within you? Everything you need is already inside of you, and sometimes the only thing that is in your way, is you! Don’t be the roadblock in your path!

#FlashbackFriday to 2012 with Baby Bee 🐝📸. Sometimes you have to sit back and remember how far you’ve come! For those that don’t know, I went to school for photography and film at @vcuarts. I took a chance on my dreams and my goals early on, and it wasn’t an easy task at all. Coming from a Caribbean background 🇧🇸 🇭🇹, you’re somewhat influenced to become a doctor/nurse/lawyer early on, and that was the first of many hurdles to overcome. Being the only woman of color in my major for my graduating class also had its challenges, to say the least, but it taught me early on that our differences can help you stand out, and the power that Art has to unite people. Would you believe me if I tell you my portfolio my first year was full of landscapes and still lifes? 🤦🏽‍♀️😭. One of the lessons that stick with me to this day was my professor @shanerocheleau made us photograph our fears. My fear was speaking to strangers because I was very shy (kindve still am), and he forced me to get out of my comfort zone. Who knew that seed he planted would lead to where I am today, where now all I do is photograph people? 🤣! What fears have you faced to make your dreams a reality?? • • • Special s/o to @paulcbuffinc for making an appearance early on in my college career! 💡

“Because of your smile, you make life more beautiful.” So make sure you share your smile with the world everyday!

Word of the day: PERSPECTIVE! Isn’t it crazy how your perspective on your current situation can either set you up for failure or success? The mind is a powerful tool and naturally it is easy to convince ourselves on “why” we can’t do something, and we can conjure up multiple excuses to make ourselves believe it is because our current situation. When in reality sometimes it takes us taking a step back, looking from the outside, and understanding that once we change our perspective, we have the power to turn those excuses into actual attributes to help us succeed. Stop looking at the glass half empty, and start looking at it half full. Everything you need is already inside of you! *Multiple exposure technique done all in camera*

I’ve been having a lot of meaningful conversations lately, understanding the importance of using your gifts to fulfill your purpose. Understanding that every gift we’ve been given we have a responsibility to open the doors for not just ourselves, but so many others. So how are you using your gift to impact the world? How are you using your gift to make a change on topics or situations that you care about? How are you using your gift to make sure the next person following in your footsteps doesn’t have to struggle or go through the same obstacles that you had to face? Especially as a creative, we have the unique opportunity to use our voice in so many different ways, even through our subjects! So focus on your purpose, and make sure you’re using your gifts wisely! 📸 @snapped360photos
