Affirmations for Black Girls

In today’s episode, Tyra’s talking about something she never thought she’d be able to say — she finally feels at home in her body. This week’s pep talk is all about reconnecting with yourself through movement, play, and curiosity. Tyra shares how trying new hobbies like boxing, pottery, and dancing (yes, twerking included!) helped her move out of her head and into her body — not for aesthetics or productivity, but for presence and joy. Pep Talk Challenge: Reconnect to your body through play. Pick one thing this week that brings you joy through movement. It could be a dance session in the mirror, walking barefoot in grass, painting with your hands, punching the air like you’re in a music video.

This week’s Pep Talk is all about turning your space into a home — not just a place you crash. Tyra shares how decorating her apartment transformed the way she shows up for herself and how creating a space that reflects who you are can bring more peace, joy, and groundedness into your daily life. She’s breaking down why your space matters more than you might think — and how even the smallest touches can shift your energy. Plus, the weekly challenge will help you get started with one cozy corner. Let’s make room for joy — one vibe-y nook at a time. Challenge of the Week ✨ Pick one corner of your home — a nightstand, a shelf, your desk — and make it yours. Add something that feels like you: a candle, a framed photo, a plant, a quote you love. Don’t overthink it. Just set the intention that this spot is for joy.

In today’s episode, Tyra shares how she turned her apartment into a cozy little coffee shop — just because. No big milestone, no birthday, just vibes. She dives into how hosting has become her love language, why choosing joy is an intentional act, and the importance of surrounding yourself with people who celebrate you for simply being. If you’ve ever felt like joy had to be earned or reserved for “special occasions,” this episode is your permission slip to celebrate life as it is. Because sometimes the most meaningful parties are the ones with no reason at all. This week’s Affirmation is “ Making room for joy will allow it to find me.” 3 BIGGEST TAKEAWAYS: Hosting is an Unofficial Love Language Even though it's not one of the “official” five, hosting blends all of them — acts of service, quality time, words of affirmation, and physical touch — into one meaningful experience that shows love through presence, intention, and ambiance. Joy Doesn’t Need a Reason — Just Room You don’t have to wait for a birthday or achievement to celebrate. Making space for joy in your everyday life is an act of resistance, peace, and self-love. Light the candles. Set the vibe. You’re allowed. The Right Community Will Match Your Energy When you're surrounded by people who truly see and love you, celebration becomes natural. You won’t have to perform or plan around perfection — they’ll show up for your joy just as you show up for theirs.
