The biggest focus of my blog is empowering women through my story. An important part of womanhood is having important women around you to build you up and support you. I have a network of women that I keep around me.
During this week, I have collaborated with someone who has been a vital part of my growth and journey to womanhood.

To all of you who do not know her, you will soon know her.

This is my sister Care Allen of http://www.fashionwithcare.com! We met exactly 10 years ago this month in Holden Hall on the campus of Michigan State University. We had both just joined the MSU Gospel Choir. One day after choir rehearsal, Care decided that she wanted to come visit. She stayed all night because that what you do in college. Stay up all night, have fun, and occasionally study from time to time lol But after that day I LITERALLY couldn’t get rid of her out of my life. I don’t know what it was but we just clicked with each other! 

We are so different but have the tendency to think alike on the same things. The defining moment of our sisterhood: We were playing taboo and the clues I gave were: “Pink, tall, bird!” Everyone in the room guesses flamingo but Care yells “ostrich!” and she got it right. Yes, I am very aware of the fact that I described a flamingo to perfection, but I knew she was my sister when she knew I wanted her to say ostrich because I was unable to describe it enough for them to guess. I knew we were soul sisters because she just understands me! lol I don’t know what it was, but we formed a bond that has been unexplainable and unbreakable.

Now let’s be clear, we have shared many disagreements but we have not allowed one of them to come in between us and they can’t compare in number or impact to all the good times. We have shared many tears together. I have seen some of the most challenging times in her life and she has witnessed me at my absolute worst. Our friendship has truly stood the test of time and I am so grateful for my friend.

That’s enough of us! What creates the defining moments in friendships for you? For me, the most defining moments in my friendships have been when everything in life came crashing down in my life. I saw who were really #TeamTanisha. They helped me pick up the pieces and rebuild me and helped me become the woman I am today. I have an entire tribe of women who screams #FriendGoals!

Here are a few ladies in a my tribe!
