What Does Black History Month Mean To You This Year?
This year more than any other year, Black people are coming into their own power and dismantling systems of oppression that have long bound us. We are starting more businesses, gardening, eating healthier, meditating and taking better care of ourselves so we can be better stewards for our families and communities. As it relates to our homes, we are making it our own. We are decorating and/or renovating so that our homes are places that inspire us...not places we settle for. We are living our ancestors dream this Black history month and beyond.

What Is On Trend For You This Year?
Right now I'm seeing folks embrace minimalism in ways that work for them. Intentionality when planning your living space translates into acquiring pieces you love and foregoing items you simply like. Minimalism is not about having a sparse space. It's about making the space work for you and having what you need to live in abundance.
