By Sherri Kolade,
\nThe Michigan Chronicle<\/p>\n

We are here for Black women living lavishly and in luxury and they are \u201cbad and bougie\u201d in the best way. From doctors and lawyers to stay-at-home women and teachers, everyone is welcome to gather their things and themselves and join the luxe life, which is really all about mindset \u2013 plus a cute outfit to boot.<\/p>\n

Historically, Black communities are kept from enjoying the finer things in life due to sometimes a lack of access to high-end brands, racism and even their own thoughts of not feeling worthy of living luxuriously.<\/p>\n

While there hasn\u2019t always been a direct correlation between affluence and Blackness, it\u2019s becoming more apparent that Black women are owning this lane and it\u2019s time they\u2019re seen for simply existing and being as dope as they are.<\/p>\n

While men are doing it big in the luxe lane, Black women are also claiming a piece of the high life for themselves\u2013 and doing it with no remorse, clad in their red-bottom shoes.<\/p>\n

Indulging in luxury is thankfully becoming more common, especially among millennial women, who are definitely leading the life of their dreams. The future has never looked so bright as it does now, inspiring other Black women to join the ranks and spread the luxury lifestyle.<\/p>\n

According to the American Association of University Women, Black women are joining the workforce and receiving more college degrees than their (White and Black) male counterparts. Black women are embracing education as a springboard for achievement, with 64 percent having earned bachelor\u2019s degrees and 71 percent having earned master\u2019s degrees. Brunch, shopping sprees and five-star vacations are becoming more and more common as more Black women join the workforce and level the playing field financially.<\/p>\n

However, Black women are sometimes criticized for enjoying the finer things in life that don\u2019t need struggle, such as staying at home with their children by choice \u2013not force, buying pricey, opulent items and openly luxuriating in their existence. This year, we are leaving suffering behind and entering the lap of luxury. Join along as we talk to some of the Detroit women who are driving the movement and bringing other Black baddies along for the ride with goods and lifestyle advice that benefit women every day.<\/p>\n

Social Media Celebrity Tatianna Merritt, the first lady of Straight Gate International Church, said that she is into all things luxury, especially beauty, fashion, makeup, travel, self-care and self-love.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll that is a newfound, like, love and passion of mine,\u201d she said. \u201cIt kind of exploded just after the pandemic. I had all four of my kids and it\u2019s a journey.\u201d<\/p>\n

Getting back to feeling \u201clike yourself\u201d after you have children is the path she took and said she felt like she lost herself and realized something had to change.<\/p>\n

\u201cI need to pour back into me; I need to love myself like I matter,\u201d she said of being intentional and choosing exercise, home organization, nail and hair appointments, family trips and other actions to level up. \u201cIt comes in different forms.\u201d<\/p>\n

She adds that hiring a professional organizer was also the move to keep her accountable and streamlined, especially in her closet. The takeaway? She is reconnecting with herself, her family and making room for what\u2019s important in the busy days of life.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe things that are important to you, you will pour into and create time to make it happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Attorney Jehan Crump-Gibson, the managing partner at Southfield-based Great Lakes Legal Group PLLC, told the Michigan Chronicle that living in luxury is what she does.<\/p>\n

Crump-Gibson, also co-founder of Style and Order, a professional women empowerment network, told the Michigan Chronicle that leveling up for her revolves around spiritual, physical and financial, and boosting the women in her group with discussing topics including financial, beauty, style and travel tips.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have monthly mixers, Slay and Mingle \u2013 everything is right up my alley and a lot of fun,\u201d Crump-Gibson said.<\/p>\n

She added that women have a right to take up space for their own selves because they support others above and beyond, too.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe play so many roles [and in this group] you can let your hair down and be you and not pretentious,\u201d she said. \u201cWhen you look good, you feel good.\u201d<\/p>\n

Crump-Gibson added that living luxuriously does not have to break the bank and getting a stylist can help, too, if women want to get a jumpstart in looking fashionable.<\/p>\n

From accessorizing her clothes with flair and pop to wearing bedazzled items on her suit (she gone wear some gold buttons, she said) dressing up can help get some out of slumps and feel good.\u00a0 Because in the end, it\u2019s all about getting back to you, which she said, is exactly \u201cwhat the court ordered.\u201d<\/p>\n

She said that from home care to fashion, luxury is a must.<\/p>\n

\u201cJo Malone, Louis Vuitton me please,\u201d she said, adding that she began understand that everything she deserves can also come in the form of experiences and items. \u201cIt was a moment after college that allowed me to be introduced to luxe life \u2013 when I was able to spoil myself.\u201d<\/p>\n

She adds that in every moment of life, humans should experience the luxury of their desires accompanied by peace of mind \u2013 Black women above all.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany [Black women] \u2026 want to feel soft and tap into their inner bougie-ness,\u201d she said. \u201cYou deserve it. Whatever it is, it\u2019s okay. We as Black women have been taught to always be humble, or that our image of happiness sometimes looks like only \u2018strength.\u2019 It\u2019s now time to take the cape off and step into your soft girl season. Pamper yourself, love yourself and continue to get things done. \u2026 Book the flight, the massage or buy the bag.\u201d<\/p>\n
