Awkward introductions
“A human is nothing but the product of only his/her words”
-Mahatma Gandhi
Who told me my friends and family NEEDED me to always be, okay?
I’m Kay and this is my safe space and hopefully it will become your safe space as well. Too often we express that we are “okay” when the reality is that we are attempting to be okay for those around us or to maintain this image of strength. We are a product of our words but we cannot will or manifest a healthy mental space without the work. The two most transparent things you can do is TALK and SHARE. But they are also two of the hardest things to do. In life we face love, loss, hopelessness, happiness, and loneliness amongst other things. I thought about stuffing every thought and idea into this intro post but yea I am not doing that today. “Oh Kay” was created to remind you life is not a journey you travel alone. I hope to travel this journey together …or maybe this will be a series of me talking to myself (lol) we shall see! But feel free to comment below let's engage! And if you have a topic or story to share we can do that too!

I don’t want to be a strong black woman I just want to be a woman, and that comes with finding spaces like this and being real with yourself. The truth is we deserve to be more than “ok” because “ok” to me was lies I told myself to keep from being sad.
I have lived my entire life being “Ok”, being the strong one in the family, but I have had plenty of moments when I have not been “OK”. I am looking forward to exploring this topic with you.
Me too! I’m learning to be okay with not being okay. Looking forward to seeing your journey!
