Hi, I’m Marikah, but I’m known as MJ on social media! I was born on the beautiful island of Trinidad & Tobago (Trinidad to be exact lol), but lived in NYC for more than half my life. From an immigrant girl to THAT GIRL! I kind of had the best of both worlds and both experiences have impacted my life. I’m a huge believer of obtaining an education, which is why I’m furthering my education cred’ with my Masters on the way. I have a background in teaching and now I have a toddler, who I now teach at home. I started blogging on a whim when I was at a very low point in my life during a semester off in college and it changed my life. A just-for-fun writing + fashion gig’ has led me to a whole heap of amazing collaborations, paid partnerships, exciting features, and some sweet blogger friends online. Although I’ve blogged in the past, I then pivoted to social media marketing, where I became a social media strategist at another exciting point in my life. Leaving my teaching job to be a SAHM w/my toddler I began teaching social media online. I’ve discovered that sharing bits and pieces of my life and sharing things I’m passionate about has inspired, influenced, and encouraged so many people to be their best selves, dress up for their mental health, and be more confident…which is one of my ultimate goals!
Thanks for following my journey and growing with me. I hope you leave with a full cup!
