Zakiya Wiggins didn’t meet a Black woman architect until grad school—now she is one. From failing her exams to becoming licensed and leading in her field, Zakiya’s journey is a masterclass in resilience, purpose, and community. Whether she’s designing buildings, mentoring future architects, or dreaming up her next art project, she’s proof that the path might not be perfect—but it’s always worth it.

From Guadalajara to the world—Victoria Villasana has woven a life of creativity, resilience, and reinvention. 🌍✨ From fashion to floristry to textile art, her journey is anything but linear, and that’s exactly what makes it powerful.

Read her full interview and get inspired by her story of carving her own path. 💫

Today, on the anniversary of Harriet Tubman's passing, we honor not only her legacy of liberation but also the vital need for rest in the lives of Black women. The National Day of Rest for Black Women is a reminder that rest is resistance—an act of reclaiming time, joy, and well-being in a world that often demands so much without giving enough in return.

🖤 To Black women: If you can, take a breath, take a break, and prioritize yourself. Rest is not a luxury; it’s a necessity. And if stepping away isn’t an option, find a moment—big or small—to be intentional about your rest.

✊🏾 To allies: Support this movement in real ways. Buy a Black woman a coffee, help a coworker take a break, or simply acknowledge and appreciate the unseen labor Black women do every day.

Rest is a radical act. Let’s honor Harriet’s legacy by uplifting and supporting each other. ✨

Huge fan of Dr. Mae Jemison. Had the chance to hear her speak at in 2020 before the lockdown.
