Video content

I created a new channel intro for YouTube.
I released some new YouTube content.

I have committed to 7 days of at least 15 minutes of livestreams from departure day forward.

I'm excited.
I can't wait to record as much as I can, as I know there are some limitations upon arrival.

We are getting closer.

Africa - “You’re not gonna make it”

Someone told me I'm not gonna make it in Africa because there aren't any social programs in place. Very big lol. I mentioned that I think a lot of the problem with America is that we have so many social programs in place. Being poor isn't easy anywhere in the world. It's also a bold assumption that I am in need of social programs. But you know, all Black Women are poor? This person, in the same conversation, went on and on about how beautiful the weather is, how amazing the people, childcare, culture, and the food are.....I'm like ???? Do you not hear yourself ? But, these are the avenues I value. I guess it's easy to disregard those things if your primary focus is money. To be fair, they also briefly mentioned a hard life leaving their country in Africa to get to America. To be even more fair, someone who doesn't want me to go sent this person to "talk" to me.

Empress Keno - Shop3Care

My name is Empress Keno. My very first blogging experiences was on this platform, blogger, from 2007-2014. Like many things in life right now, I have come full circle. Welcome!

My creativity is very active and vibrant.  When I started shop3care - my vision was an organic online beauty supply filled with reminders for myself and others to take care of ourselves. A year has passed and now I am transitioning all things in life, including my brand (shop). I have decided to focus on content creation rather than retailing physical goods.

I am incredibly excited about it. I've decided that the bl...

Happy Mother’s Day

I ate a hard piece of candy about 30 minutes ago. I also ate too many of my favorite cookie. I meditated and gave myself a full body brown sugar and lavender scrub down. I cut my hair and scrubbed head to toe. I feel refreshed. I also feel tired. Sounds like an oxymoron but that's an accurate projection of my overall mood right now. I'm elated about progress and the timeline winding down. I'm also quite sad and disappointed that it's looking very likely that I will be separated from my daughter. I'm grateful for my husband making me breakfast and picking up some of my favorite treats. I'm grateful for my Mother's Day cards. I smell incredible right now and my skin feels amazing. I'm exhausted.
