Amazing one day getaway with @cadillacjaxon and the rest of my crew. Amazing to live by the border and have the opportunity to see these beautiful places 🙏🏻☀️

⚡️NEW⚡️ coffee shop in my hood, welcome @kakawacoffee to walking distance from my home 🙏🏻 I can tell this is the beginning of a beautiful symbiosis.

My pretty city 💕

Handwritten notes to complete strangers. Alternative title: how #realtorstaci’s hand fell off from hand cramp/fatigue. ✋🏻😩📨 #hustle #getleads CalBRE 02058371.

Food for thought 👇🏻 #Repost @elainewelteroth with @get_repost ・・・ I am admittedly not a big royal wedding aficionado, and I realize some will say it’s an unpopular time to call attention to this, but (YOLO) what I found fascinating about the media blitz surrounding Meghan Markle had nothing to do with her status, her dress, or her freckles (although they’re adorable, as is she). It is the media’s sudden embrace of the term “biracial” that has intrigued me most. It marks a first in my lifetime actually. Think about it: in the case of virtually every other “biracial” celebrity we know—many of whom marked historic “firsts,” from President Obama to Halle Berry—the media has used the term “black” to describe them. In most cases, they self-identify that way, too. While we know race is a social construct and racial identity is personal to an extent, in America, one’s lived racial experience is mostly dictated by perception. Your skin tone, hair texture, and other physical characteristics ultimately determine how you are seen, labeled, and treated in the world. In a society that once imposed the “paper bag test” and the “one drop rule,” most of us were never given the chance to choose. We were labeled. Until recently, U.S. Census forms still asked us to check a box: black or white. This in spite of an awareness of the rise of interracial families globally. But, until now, it seemed we weren’t ready to acknowledge them. With the emergence of Meghan Markle, who could arguably pass as “white,” we are forced to see the nuance of racial identity, and to finally embrace the pronounced existence of mixed-race families as part of the beautiful tapestry of our history. On one hand that, to me, feels triumphant and necessary. Seeing a white-passing woman with her black mother as they are ushered into the royal family is an image that will have an indelible impression on us all—whether we verbalize it or not. On the other hand, and some might call this cynical, I can’t help but wonder if Meghan’s skin tone were a few shades deeper, or if she had worn her naturally curly hair, would we be making space for her biraciality?

What an amazing view from the amenity level of Legend building downtown. Open house caravans are so much fun for #realtorstaci 😎💎 CalBRE 02053871
