"I just want to travel and teach yoga somewhere like Costa Rica."

Olivia in Runaway Bay, Jamaica. June 2017. She wearing the Black Kitty Sunnies. 

These were Olivia's own words, that I remember like they were yesterday. We were having dinner in her cute studio apartment in the Bronx. She was currently working at a Fortune 500 company that all of you know of very well, as the events manager. 

Working the 9-5, no matter how much of a dream job, just isn't fulfilling once you have dreams of your own independent pursuits. So we'd have talks of what would really make us happy and how we were strategizing toward it. 

About a year and a half later, Olivia had left her job, cashed in her 401k and spent it wisely traveling, supplementing it with her marketing skills to barter services for accommodations and built the site that is now a resource for wanderlusts all over the world, Ochristine.com. 

When she told me in between traveling through different countries that she was getting her yoga certification back home, I knew the importance of words and intention was everything that I held it to be-- truly powerful and real. 

Olivia in Aruba. August 2016. 

"Quitting my 9-5 was scary, but I wouldn't have found success without it. It granted me more time to actively pursue my dreams of travel instead of sitting at a desk wishing for a way out."

When it comes to being firm, kind, fair and fearless Olivia is my advice source. Visit her site for a complete catalog of her travels, tips and resources, like your travel bestie!

Shyvonne wears the Diana sunnies above. 

Shyvonne Sanganoo known to you as @shyyvonne has been a Tnemnroda Woman before it was a hashtag! 

She changes her hair color more than NYC weather but that spontaneity is not a testament to her strength and integrity. She empowered us with girl power, vibey anthems like "Damn" and "Miroir." And then put our social consciousness into song with "Would You."  See her full interview with Daily news here. 

Songstress, political advocate and educator, of course she'd be a Tnemnroda woman too!

Shyvonne in Bali. 

When she's not touring with her music or living her best life around the world, she's working with kids in NYC schools. 

"I teach global history through hip hop & music with Fresh Prep and also am the instructional coordinator for ChangeMKRS which is NYC after school programming rooted in social justice."

For more on Shyvonne's political influence check out the NY Daily News article which also features the full length video of her political protest song, Would You," produced by Robert Lux. See the lyrics below to sing along ✨

Pre Chorus 

Who are you

What will you do 

Or will you stay quiet 

Cover your eyes

Swallow your tears

Ignore the violence 

Chorus:

 it was you, ur father, or ur brother, your sister or ur mother, could you let it go? X2

Because you are a TNEMNRODA woman, we know that you are powerful, confident, make bold fashion moves and LOVE TO TRAVEL! Knowing this, We've partnered with Olivia of @ochristine Travel Blog to gift you with $100 off of her 6-day retreat to Cartagena, Columbia! 

Discover your passion(s) and your purpose will be revealed.

For my talk at the New York Fashion Institute of Technology's BRAG association, I created a one sheet "survey of self" I call it.

It features questions that you should ask yourself to uncover things you probably haven't thought about. It's such a great resource to revisit time and time again, that I wanted to share it with everyone in my life! 

"Why would you want to be your friend?" We so easily see our flaws but what are our diamond points...who are we BEING in this world.

"How do you think people see you? Do you like this perception or do you want to change it?" ...

It's a pretty cool analysis of self,  if I say so myself. You deserve to know you better than you know anyone else in this world. Live boldly as who you are, who you CHOOSE to be!   

TNEMNRODA squad...we're still sorting out what to call our collective *pulls hair out* We've started a youtube channel that focuses on talks that guide you in adorning, not your sunnies, but your life [in positivity and power].

So far, I've been discussing a lot of the thinking practices that I've adopted to stay grounded in my dreams and the execution of them. The video above dives deeper into a concept that I explore in a previous video of changing your mindset and creating new dreams for yourself.

So while you're daring to dream big dreams for yourself per my second video, take it a step further. Dream beyond your geographical limits.

During my 2 week trip between New Orleans and Houston, I thought: what would I do differently if location was of no hinderance?

See what you come up with for yourself and let me know if you end up moving! ;)
