October 17, 2019 I don’t think it’s realistic for anyone to set that goal for themselves. I have always been entrepreneurial, but I sometimes wish I didn’t always come up with these new ideas and then have to act on them. When I realized that in 2016 there wasn’t a workout that was specifically designed for a pregnant and postpartum woman, I was frankly appalled and then came to the realization that I had to do something about it (while two kids were hanging of my pant legs!) It certainly wasn’t the best timing, but someone had to do it.

October 09, 2019 Being a broke college student and having a growing plant addiction started to backfire. I found myself spending my last $35 on an exotic plant because it “felt good” to have it in my space. I found that I was traveling to the trendier & more developed parts of Manhattan and Brooklyn to purchase exotic plants for my space. I also found myself calling my mom every two weeks to ask if I could borrow that same $35 to pay my Con Edison bill. That’s when it hit me: New York has a large disparity of access to affordable plants. Why is it that i’m traveling into the most gentrified neighborhoods and paying triple the price for something so natural? Why is greenery so “trendy” all of a sudden? And why on earth are some of my plants dying every time I bring a new one home?

October 03, 2019 If you give up on your purpose in life, whatever it may be, you could be giving up having a positive impact on other people. The potential you achieve will make a difference in your life and to many others. The main point I want to get across is don’t just go with the flow. Don't think that you have to settle or do what everybody else is doing. It’s the people who are able to break away from these things and chase after something bigger that make it to the top. I know for a fact that there’s way more out there for everybody than there seems and SO many opportunities to explore.

April 01, 2019 “Femme is an intentional identity. It doesn't treat femininity as something that comes naturally, but something that is claimed. It feels like, as both a queer AND black woman, I am constantly overwritten with these pre-existing tropes about who I'm supposed to be. [...] I choose to identify as femme. It's what makes me feel like me. My version of femme wears the girliest lashes + black lipstick. My version of femme likes to build things + read books. My version of femme is a boss.” said Gause.
