Growing up a child of immigrant parents who escape

Growing up a child of immigrant parents who escaped a war-torn country, my mom and dad instilled in my sister and I perseverance and resilience. They taught me to work hard, study hard and do everything with excellence…which made me a great student and obedient daughter…until the thing I wanted to do excellently, was not in their life plan for me.

For so many years I felt so lost, so broken and so angry. It was a decision between my passion or my parents - and I chose my passion. It broke our relationship and to this day, remains the thing I still cry about everytime I think about it, talk about it, or write about it. Like literally right now. Ugh.

As I get older, as my parents get older, and as the past becomes more of a scar than a fresh wound, I find myself trying to heal by trying to understand them. They wanted my sister and I to be safe. To be financially secure. To not suffer. To have stability. Things that were robbed from from them. Telling my parents I was going to pursue fashion design was none of those things. But the more they told me NO the more it lit my fire.

I’m extremely grateful to my parents because had they not done what they did, I would not have fought as hard as I did to get where I am today.

I want to thank you for supporting me all of these years, whether it was by doing a Blogilates video on YouTube or by purchasing something from @popflex_active (or recently Blogilates!). Know that you have the power to change the trajectory of someone’s life, as you did mine, by the choices you make. I say this because as a consumer, our loudest “vote” comes in the form of a dollar. Corporations, at the end of the day, make decisions heavily influenced, if not totally influenced, by numbers. Now more than ever, if you have the means to support minority owned brands that make products you love, let your dollar do the speaking. Know that your collective choices are POWERFUL and that THIS is how they listen.

Also WOW how has this January been 847 days long!?!?

Please go write your teachers. They are still thin

Please go write your teachers. They are still thinking about you ❤️

Ms. Lyttle was my 2nd grade teacher at Welby Way Magnet School and I’ll never forget the kindness she extended towards me and my family. She was an incredible teacher but also cared for her students like they were her own kids. I remember one day, my parents couldn’t pick me up from school so she offered to drive me home that evening. She didn’t have to but she did, and it’s things like that make me think of her and how she’s doing every once in a while.

I don’t know why I hesitate when I think about reaching out to my teachers. I think about this a lot actually. I guess I’m scared they won’t remember me and it’ll be “weird” but honestly who cares because there’s nothing weird about telling someone how much of a positive impact they’ve left on your life, FOR life. So, no more hesitating. I’m writing my favorite teachers and professors right now, and thanking them for helping to shape me into the woman I am today. I urge you to do the same and make them smile.

❤️Cassey
