Today is my Pops 72nd birthday and he still doesn't look a day over 50. He taught me the possibilities of living a multifaceted life using all of your God-given gifts. He's a dentist, musician (saxophone, bass, flute, trumpet, guitar), pastor, entrepreneur, real estate developer, author, father, husband, and the only person I know who wears a button down, slacks and blazer on vacation. I love this man so much! Can ya'll help me wish my Pops a Happy Birthday by going and checking out his new music video with the great Rance Allen, recorded right before Rance passed away. Link is on his page - @docscott49⁠ *⁠ *⁠ #happybirthday #Dad #myfather #throwback #blackfathers #family #blacklove #dentist #musician #tyscotrecords #legacy #foundation

Reflecting today on the amazing work our Blacks at Microsoft team did to pull off a set of virtual programs for Black History Month ✊🏾 including the Soul Food cooking event with Chef @whereyaatmatt. 😋 I also still can't believe I was featured on the NASDAQ Times Square wall during the closing bell. Even though I celebrate Black History 365 days a year, it's great to be able to plan and participate in events with my company throughout the month of February. Now, I need to go find a bed & lay down somewhere. 😊😴 * * #melstrong #microsoftlife #blackhistory #blackhistorymonth #blacksatmicrosoft #BAM #nasdaq100 #celebrate #virtual #blackandproud #blackexcellence #blackjoy #blackgirlmagic #tbt #thankfulthursday

Now that my book is out there in the hemisphere, I am feeling a little vulnerable. All the doubts start to creep in. What will people think? Will people like it? Sometimes you have to get out of your own head and just take a leap of faith. Whatever you're doing today, do it with the confidence of a 4-year-old in a batman cape, standing on top of a table ready to jump. What is awaiting you on the other side of fear?⁠ *⁠ *⁠ #melstrong #throughitALL #letgoletGod #newauthor #newbook #faithoverfear #steppingout #freedom #livingmyblessedlife #ootd #winterfashion #style #contemporary #goodvibes

God gives us grace not only to overcome the things we face, but also to overcome the after-effects. Give yourself permission to walk in that grace and declare who you have become - Overcomer, Survivor, Warrior. You are all of that and more. Don't let the after effects of your trauma convince you otherwise.⁠ *⁠ *⁠ #melstrong #throughitALL #testimonyTuesday #overcomer #survivor #blessed #grace #walkinfavor #faithoverfear #Godovereverything #declarations #manifestations #inspiration #motivation #author #speaker #smile #ootd #winterfashion #streetstyle

Husbands, do you intentionally mess up the items on the grocery list so your wives will stop asking you to go to the grocery store? Asking for myself. ⁠ I asked @dbtwo to go pick up some oranges and he came back with this prickly orange thingy. Sir, what is this? His response: "Try it, it's probably good."⁠ But, it's not an orange though. I asked for oranges. Not exotic orange colored objects.⁠ 🤣😂 *⁠ *⁠ #marriage #loveandmarriage #marriagerocks #mybestfriend #justdontaskhimtogetgroceries⁠ #hekeepsmelaughin #love #live #laugh #blacklove #husbandandwife #marriedlife #married #millennialmarried #luvblackluv #healthandwellness

#WellnessWednesday. What if you replaced your morning coffee with a glass of fresh juice?⁠ Oranges have particularly high levels of certain phytonutrients that are thought to be helpful for reducing inflammation, lowering blood pressure and balancing cholesterol. Orange juice is high in many nutrients, including vitamin C, folate, and potassium.⁠ Can your coffee make the same claims?⁠ ⁠I have learned to prioritize my health and fill my body with nutrients. You are what you eat (and drink). What are you drinking?⁠ *⁠ *⁠ PRE-ORDER NEW BOOK THROUGH IT ALL.⁠ #melstrong #wellness #health #healthyliving #healthiswealth #healthandwellness #healthylifestyle #juicing #cleanse #cleaneating #exercise #fitness #healthybodyhealthymind #plantbased #plantpowered #foodphotography #fruitsandvegetables #energy ⁠ #cancersurvivor #thrivingaftercancer #throughitALL

Because I miss travel and we're kicking off Black History Month, I thought I would hit you with a throwback to the Motherland. Our trip to Cairo, Egypt was so enlightening. Experiencing the pyramids and being surrounded by such rich history that was absent in my Western history books was awe-inspiring. ⁠ "If you don't know where you've come from, you don't know where you're going." - Maya Angelou⁠ *⁠ *⁠ #blackhistory #blackhistorymonth #everydayisblackhistory #motherland #egpyt #cairo #pyramids #pyramidsofegypt #kings #queens #pharoah #egyptianmuseum #blackcouples ⁠#blacklove #marriage #marriedlife #millennialmarried #luvblackluv #blackcouples #blacktravel #blackandabroad⁠ #travel #travelnoire #travelphotography #travelgram #travelpics #postcardsfromtheworld #mayaangelou
