What's In My Bag | Feature

My friend and BM teammate, Farai, asked me to participate in their “What’s In My Bag Wednesday” series. The series features diverse, minimalist or minimal-ish folx and I’m honored to be a part of the series. Read an excerpt from my interview below.

How long have you practiced minimalism or been interested in minimalism, and why? 

December 2019 will mark 7 years since I began practicing minimalism. I started unknowingly because I was stuck and unmotivated in my life at the time and I felt like I needed to go back to the drawing board, so I started decluttering the physical stuff, which then led me to time, commitments, goals and beyond.

What are your favorite blogs, resources, books that you go to for inspiration?

 Of course I follow you and Black Minimalists. I also enjoy Alyson Simply Grows, Christine of The Afrominimalist, Amanda of Mama of Intention, and Erin of Reading My Tea Leaves. For books, The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo is a classic and Essentialisms by Greg McKeown is a must-read.
