Weekly Wisdom: Life
Posted by Karen Bishop | Leave a Comment
Often life forces you to go with the flow and have faith that everything will work out the right way, at just the right time. Unfortunately, we aren’t given a set of instructions to teach us how to maneuver through this crazy world. So, all we can do is learn as we go and give up a tiny bit of control to let life lead the way, even for a little while.

Don’t you hate when you fall asleep only to wake up at the crack of dawn – eyes wide open – looking at the ceiling, wondering why you’re awake? And all you can do is decide whether you should just lay there or make use of this early morning start.
Well, as my body tried to persuade me to go back to bed, my conscious decided against it. So, I powered up the trusty laptop to put in some work. Not before I found the perfect MOOD MUSIC to get my creative juices flowing.
Thanks to the mellow r&b sounds of OVO Sound artist Majid Jordan, singer Majid Al Maskati and producer Jordan Ullman helped me pass the time to create not just one but three blog posts for my fellow blog lovers.
Make it a great morning!
On repeat:
- Day & Night
- Small Talk
- Every Step, Every Way
Majid Jordan, for a late night drive or early morning writing vibe.
What gets your creative juices flowing?

Weekly Wisdom: Closure
Posted by Karen Bishop | Leave a Comment
Closure = Freedom
Relationships are hard, even when they do work. But when a friendship comes to an end (for whatever reason) having the proper closure is the last thing on your mind. Often, people tend to go their separate ways, move on and “get over it” over time. But there’s a FREEDOM in speaking your truth and clearing the air, when all is said and done.
It can change your life forever.

Welcome back, welcome back, welcome backkkk! I couldn’t find any other words to say “hello and welcome back” to the new and improved iamwhatshot brand. I’ve been hard at work with a number of mini projects but my IAWH digital home is and will always be my first love.
What’s new? Nothing much, other than a simple new website and endless lifestyle tidbits I can’t wait to share with you. But I’m most excited about our new merchandise. The IAWH online store is now open for business with classic t-shirts available in gray and black. I’m truly ecstatic! I know, you can’t really tell from the photo’s. But trust me I’m excited.
Of course, I couldn’t wait to flaunt the classic women’s t-shirt in the recent mini photo shoot.
Who says you can’t be comfy and casual with a little sass?

Read MoreHer Name Is Sa-Roc

While scrolling through my Facebook news feed, this breath of fresh air – who goes by the name Sa-Roc the MC – appeared on my timeline. Quite honestly, I was intrigued enough to click the play button simply because she has a pretty dope style. Yes, I assumed she couldn’t rhyme, she was too pretty, too eccentric and the formula for female rappers is still very much about…sex sells. Well I guess, I was wrong.
Sa-Roc the MC collaborated with the likes of Jay Z, Kanye West, Jay Electronica and a long list of well know hip hop heavy weights. In my humble opinion, she’s the perfect blend of Rah Digga, Amil and Lady of Rage. I’m three songs into her Legends of Black Moses album and haven’t been disappointed yet.
I’m feeling good about this one.
