How do we fight racism within the fashion industry? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Tried to take some polas for @spot6management but couldn’t stop laughing because I can’t do real “model face” in front of my boyfriend.😂 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ On a more serious note though, I’ve been thinking about all the ways our industry has perpetuated the white body as the “right” body. I’ve benefited from being white within this industry. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ve never had a makeup artist not know how to do my hair or makeup. I’ve never been told “sorry we aren’t casting white girls for this job”. I’ve never been the token on set, or showed up to a job and wonder why the client chose me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The conversation must go beyond Instagram. It’s not the role of black models to do all the work alone. This isn’t a trend that will pass. Let’s keep talking about it with our agents, photographers, hair and makeup artists, stylists, producers, models, creative directors and casting directors. #blm

I remember the first time I heard about “inner child” work... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I thought it was the stillest most useless thing I’d ever heard of. Connecting with your 5 year old self? “Taking care” of her? 😒 And yet, I gave it a shot. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m happy to say that today, my inner child is as happy as ever ( can you tell from this pic? 🤣) Anyone else aware of their inner child? Swipe to see the child I’m referring to. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #innerchild #innerstrength #selfcare #emotionalhealth #innerchildcomingout #innerchildwork

Anyone else feeling anxious these days? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Step one, deep breath. Step two, go find a 🌳 to look at! I’m lucky to have my parents place to retreat to, but even a tree in the park will do. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This quarantine has definitely made me appreciate nature in a whole new way.🌱 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I took a break from social media.🤐 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Yep, I’m totally still alive and well (some of you checked in to make sure, thanks!!). But I’m back!! Get ready for the return of real talk and dog stories!🤪 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Honesty: I felt overwhelmed with what my role was on insta, and decided to give space on social media for black voices. My way of digesting and integrating new info happens slowly (I feel all the emotions at once so it can be overwhelming) and I love talking/connecting with others to deepen my understanding. Here’s what I learned: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I was SO anxious to lead the @the.deepspace conversation on privilege last night.😳 “Should I even be leading this? Will people open up? Am I the only one having a hard time talking openly about what I’m experiencing?” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ After one of the deepest and most meaningful deep spaces, I realized that the topics that bring the most discomfort are the ones worth talking about! My heart is full from seeing people open up and share their different realities with one another. I could feel the love pouring through my screen 📺❤️. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Working through the discomfort of uncertainty was powerfully rewarding, and I encourage anyone wanting to go deep to find a community of people that are willing to do it with you!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Last night would not have happened without these lovely humans : shout-out to @chelseameilee @dmessii @drewpellegrin @erica_dahms @viennablum @myleclair @joeystaffabb . We’re building something special💫 Thanks again to our generous sponsors @etymologie.ca @soja_co @granolust_ for making the night extra fancy, and thanks to every one of you who showed up and went deep #brave. We’re donating 80% of proceeds from the event to @blackwomeninmotion . Go follow them! Much love ❤️ -Chantal #thedeepspace #deepconversations #connecting #sharing #givingback #meaningfuldiscussions #community #blacklivesmatter #blm ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

On June 24th, I'm facilitating a conversation about privilege. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm not an expert, I don't have it all figured out, and that's exactly why I think this next @the.deepspace event is important. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you need a space to digest what's happening in a JUDGMENT FREE and COMPASSIONATE space, reserve a ticket to this next conversation. You don't have to be the most "woke" or have it all figured out, but we need to continue the conversation beyond Instagram! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We're donating 80% of proceeds to @blackwomeninmotion (they empower black womxn! 💪🏾). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ❤️Thanks to our sponsors!!! ❤️ I'll be raffling away high end goodies from @etymologie.ca , @soja_co , and @granolust_ at the online event.🎁 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Follow @the.deepspace for event updates and to join our community.

Ok, I know everyone eye rolls at women calling anything self-care.🙄 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But as I see it, “self-care” has nothing to do with the act itself, but rather the intention behind it. It can be anything! But it comes from a place of self-CARE rather than self-CONTROL. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For me, that’s painting my nails 💅🏻. I swear! I know it might be silly, but taking the time to clean, shape, and meticulously paint a beautiful color onto my nails brings me into the moment and makes me feel calm. Plus, I get to see pretty colors all day, and it makes me feel good. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ve been loving the gel like nail polish that you can buy at the pharmacy. 👌🏻 Any recommendations? ❤️

😳IMPOSTER SYNDROME?!?!?!😳 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Yep, I got that. I think we all do? In fact, I KNOW, we all do. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s defined as : a psychological pattern in which one doubts one's accomplishments and has a persistent internalized fear of being exposed as a "fraud". ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s hard to explain, but let’s say I booked a really huge modeling job, even though I knew I’d worked hard to get there and had the talent, there was always this little fear in my head saying “you’re lucky to be here, was this a mistake?”. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But, good news! I’m getting better at challenging those thoughts! The first step is realizing I’m having the thought, then it’s about reminding myself that a thought is not reality, then challenging the thought, and then a lil bit of fake it till you make it never hurts sometimes!😆🙏🏻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I challenge you to challenge the imposter thoughts and replace them with something real cheesy, self-lovey and cringe worthy like “I deserve to be here, I am enough”.❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻

Do you feel stuck right now?😳 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here are some tips that help me when I’m stuck. Because I’ve been stuck many times in the past month or so. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1- Make some monthly goals ( I separate personal, interpersonal and career). Then break down the small steps that would get you to that goal and schedule those in to your calendar. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2- Clean your home, messy home messy mind. Just do it. I always feel better after a good cleaning! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 3- Sit with it. But not for too long! Sometimes I say out loud “I DON’T FEEL GOOD!” In a childlike voice. Then I sit and pout and allow myself to wallow for 10 mins. Then I have my plan of escape like going for a walk or cooking a meal or working out. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Any others I should know about? I feel like we all need some extra help these days! ❤️
