Day 32 of #2019 Here is a little Friday night Scarlett Sassss!!! She is the #tiktok queen🤦🏽‍♀️. These days I have to make sure not to ruin her videos because she is always putting on a production, is anybody else’s kid #tiktok crazed? 🙄#fracturedstrategist #fracturedbrilliance #momofscarlett #dancing
Day 30 of #2019 Finally some snow in NYC.... for like 15 mins🙄 I got so excited to potentially have a part two to this shoot with @smurfseyeview it is a bit alarming that our snow blizzards are just 15 mins and like two months late...and some people have the nerve to say global warming is not real😳 #fracturedstrategist #fracturedbrilliance #snow #globalwarming
Day 28 of #2019 When my babies were younger, I remember stressing out about homework, dinner, bath etc all needing to happen at once. I couldn’t imagine a scenario where one kid could help another and in turn help me do more. Now my heart smiles as I glance over and Jordan is helping Scarlett with homework as I cook dinner and occasionally referee disagreements. If you are a mommy feeling overwhelmed and like some days you have more errands than hours and more “mommy requests” than time and energy, know that in a few years they will help each other and you can ACTUALLY do one thing at a time. I promise! #mondaymotivation #momoftwo #multitask #fracturedfamily #fracturedstrategist #fracturedbrilliance
Day 24 of #2019 And just like that my January break is over and classes start again next week and my desk will look like that everyday until June🙄. I had so many plans for all of the relaxation that would take place before class started again....and then life happened and relaxation didn’t happen. Moving forward, instead of planning to jam pack relaxation into brief periods of time, I am going to work on adding tiny acts of self care to my lifestyle. If there is one thing I have learned from all of my years #strategizing is that a goal without a plan is a wish, so I’m going to put tiny acts of self care on my schedule and make sure it gets done like any other high priority item on my to-do list😉 what does your self care routine look like?? Drop suggestions below👇🏼
Day 21 of #2019 our family spent the weekend working on Scarlett’s project on #martinlutherkingjr Scarlett is an inquisitive child and a straight shooter so of course as we talked about the civil rights movement she couldn’t help but notice some things have changed and many have stayed the same 😔 As a parent, I wish I could tell her she is wrong and that things are not the same, there is no need for marches, there is no segregation and #martinlutherkingjr dream has come true. But I can’t! Because it hasn’t, she lives in NYC and can see segregation, she watches the news and sees many marches, many times to no avail and while she is excited about all the women who got elected she points out that “we still need the dream”! Indeed we do! We still need to march, we still need to fight and push and #dream Maybe when it’s her turn to work with her child on the same topic, she will get to tell her a story about a “dream” an amazing leader named #martinlutherkingjr had that came true and now we all get to live in a better world!! #2019 #keepdreaming #fracturedstrategist #fracturedbrilliance #fracturedfamily #qotd
Day 16 of #2019 Intersectionality is important, it is a certain path to authenticity, it is cultivates feelings of fulfillment. It’s important to honor all aspects of who we are and all the more important to not let anyone tell us otherwise. #qotd #fracturedstrategist #intersectionalfeminism #fracturedbrilliance #allofwhoweare
Day 13 of #2019 When you understand your path and your purpose the next steps become so obvious it feels like common sense ✨✨✨ I started this IG account with just #fracturedbrilliance and that blog and its experiences and exposure gave birth to a complementary although very different counterpart, #fracturedstrategist, a transition strategy practice for women (check our link in bio to learn more). Now that I have embarked on this PhD journey I know there will be more. So I changed my name to @iammarlenebrito to bring you on this fractured journey with me. I am so grateful to all my brilliant friends that have been with me from the beginning and look forward to welcoming new friends🤗🤗🤗 I told Universe I wanted to #bloom and universe is conspiring to help me do just that🙌🏽. #qotd #fracturedstrategist #fracturedbrilliance #2019 #grind
Day 9 of #2019 getting ready to talks goals, action and perseverance at @bealuminary tonight!!! Those of you who could not make it tonight, I am working on putting a workshop together in March, so stay tuned for 🗣 happy #humpday🐫 #2019 #fracturedstrategist #fracturedbrilliance #bealuminary
Day 8 of #2019, Always shoot for the moon, even if you miss you’ll land among the stars... So here is a good night kiss from me and the stars😘😘 at the #dvf #zodiac themed installation ⭐️🌓 ✨experience c/o @lucy_yhoandy ✨#qotd #fracturedbrilliance #fracturedstrategist
