00:00Hey NaturallyCurlyWorld, I'm Evelyn.
00:02And I'm Nikki.
00:03And in this video, we want to help you in all your 2018 endeavors.
00:09So we are going to vision board with you.
00:13Alright, we're going to show you how we make our vision boards.
00:20So get your magazines ready to cut out.
00:24Get your board ready.
00:25Get your vision ready.
00:28And let's do this.
00:29Have you ever created a vision board before?
00:31When I was a youth, maybe like, you know, 6th grade, 7th grade, I used to cut up magazines
00:38and be like, these are my dreams.
00:41I've created mood boards before, which is just like color and pretty things, but never
00:46a vision board.
00:47And I'm not really sure if I know the difference between like what a vision is versus like what
00:52your goals are.
00:55Your goals would help you reach your vision?
00:57Yes.
00:58Your goals are the steps to the final picture of your life.
01:04Right.
01:05If you've never made a vision board, you wouldn't necessarily say, oh, I want to drop 10 pounds.
01:10You could.
01:11You could.
01:12Because your vision is a healthier you.
01:13Yeah.
01:14Okay.
01:15Okay.
01:16All right.
01:17I think I can do this.
01:18After that, let's just tell you guys what you need.
01:20Okay.
01:21So you're going to have to go and get some magazines.
01:24We got Vogue.
01:25We got Vogue.
01:26Teen Vogue.
01:27We got Men's Health.
01:29Men's Health.
01:30Because Men's Health and Moon Health are very same.
01:31Very same.
01:32It's the same health.
01:33We got Glamour.
01:34We got Essence with Kofi.
01:38Yes.
01:39You know, so we just got a bunch of magazines.
01:44What is that?
01:45Oh, Entrepreneur.
01:46Yes.
01:47We need that.
01:48So yeah, just get a bunch of magazines that suit your fancy.
01:52And then we got some card stock, some colorful paper, as you can see, that will kind of inspire
02:00us.
02:01Are you feeling yellow?
02:02Are you feeling mean?
02:03Yeah.
02:04You know what I'm saying?
02:05Me.
02:06Money?
02:07Yes.
02:08Yes.
02:09So that's kind of supplemental decoration for our vision board.
02:12So then, we have our actual boards for the vision board.
02:18It's this poster board, as you can see, you can do any signs you want, any color.
02:25It's all up to you, all right?
02:28So let's just begin.
02:29So I ended up cutting out a lot of words and phrases, affirmations, if you will, not so
02:35much like photos, and so that's another thing.
02:40You will feel and see what you end up being drawn to as you're flipping through these magazines.
02:47So I got things like New Kids on the Blog, The Art of Self Promotion, Girl You So Fly,
02:56Turning Big Dreams into Bold Moves.
02:58So as you can see, my vision for 2018 is to be part of that new guard, that new group.
03:11Also have some words.
03:12Group of people.
03:13That's what the vision board will help me do, articulate myself.
03:16I want to be part of that new crew of people, creatives, coming up, you know what I'm saying?
03:21When I was thinking about what I wanted for 2018, I was like, I'm pretty satisfied with
03:25who I am as a person.
03:26So I'm like, I know not a lot of people are satisfied with themselves, I really am.
03:32But I thought about what one of the things was woman of the year, or women of the year.
03:38And for me, I was like, you know what, I just want to be a woman of the year to myself.
03:42Like if that means taking care of myself, if it means that I'm being like a great mom or
03:46a great wife, or if I'm being a really good friend, to me that's being a woman of the
03:51year.
03:52And then I picked out some stuff that was more like fashion forward, being pranked
03:56at the last nine months.
03:57I haven't felt very fashionable, felt kind of lame.
04:00So I was like, you know what, 2018, I'm going to step my wardrobe game up.
04:04I envision myself looking beautiful every day.
04:07Oh wow.
04:08You know, it's a lot.
04:09I want to like, you know, put on makeup, do my hair, wear a cute outfit, because I really
04:13felt like for a good part of the year, I just look like a bum.
04:18And it's time for me to like love myself, you know, internally and externally.
04:23Where is that?
04:24I also cut out Michael B. Jordan for many reasons.
04:29What reasons could Michael B. Jordan?
04:31Now as you can see, he's in front of the camera.
04:34So am I directing a Michael B. Jordan film or am I married to Michael B. Jordan?
04:43It could be both.
04:44You know?
04:45You know?
04:46It's 2018.
04:47You know it's a new vision, new goal for yourself.
04:49So I have this phrase, 2018 is going to be so much better.
04:55So much.
04:56So much.
04:57Please.
04:58So much better.
04:59Both for myself and this country.
05:02I also cut out some people who I thought were just, they embody the kind of woman I want
05:07to be, the kind of creative I want to be, the kind of girl I want to be.
05:10One of them is Tracee Ellis Ross.
05:12I love her to death.
05:13She is my favorite person.
05:15She's stylish.
05:16She's funny.
05:17She's comfortable and she's confident.
05:19And then obviously Issa Rae, she is goals.
05:22You know, she started out on YouTube making these little videos and now she's on HBO.
05:26Like she is goals.
05:27So her and then obviously our uncle dad.
05:31Oh my God.
05:32Yeah.
05:33Uncle dad.
05:35Rich O'Shea Moisture.
05:37I just think that his vision for his company as far as like getting back and paying it forward.
05:42Yeah.
05:43It's very important to me.
05:44I believe in philanthropy.
05:45I believe in giving back to people when you have a lot, even when you don't have a lot.
05:49And I think he embodies that.
05:51So Rich is on there as well.
05:52Y'all be out here talking about the Tracee Moisture is canceled.
05:55Okay.
05:56All right.
05:57You can go here.
05:58Cancel Tracee Moisture.
05:59Cancel Tracee Moisture.
06:00Cancel Tracee Moisture.
06:01Cancel a lot of people in Ghana.
06:02You know what I'm saying?
06:03He's my dad.
06:04Yeah.
06:05Yeah.
06:06And I have not given up on that JBCO leaving.
06:08I'm sorry.
06:09It's quite delicious.
06:10So are you putting your like words?
06:14Oh, this is nice.
06:15Yeah.
06:16So what I'm doing is I'm trying to make a collage.
06:18You are so visual.
06:19I'm trying to make a collage of affirmations, color schemes, colorways if you will, that inspire
06:31me because the goal of a vision board is to really like look at it frequently.
06:36You know?
06:37Oh.
06:38What is that?
06:39You know, I, uh.
06:40What is that?
06:42What is that?
06:43Don't worry about this part.
06:44I'm making a circle and some shapes and things.
06:47Oh, to cut it out.
06:48Yes.
06:49Okay.
06:50No, I'm following you.
06:51I'm following you.
06:52Okay.
06:53Got my glue sticks.
06:54No, not a graphic designer, but with a vision board you don't have to be.
06:57You know?
06:58Don't have to be.
06:59You can just be yourself.
07:00You don't need to be yourself.
07:02You don't know how to make shapes.
07:05They say if you see it, hey, you can achieve it.
07:09Yes, you can.
07:10Is that Disney?
07:11Is that the Bible?
07:12Don't worry about it.
07:14I was going to say, is that I believe I can fly?
07:16Is that about Kelly?
07:17Oh, no.
07:19Um, I think for the center of my board, I'm going to put this quote from Amandala Stenberg.
07:24Stenberg, yes.
07:25My daughter.
07:26Mm-hmm.
07:27Y'all have to have an 18 year old.
07:30And it says, icons carve out of space the world says shouldn't exist.
07:34And that's who I want to be, you know?
07:37I want to carve out a space for myself and for people I love and for people who need a space.
07:42What's important for my vision board isn't just that it says what I want it to say, it's that it feels how I want it to feel.
07:49Yeah.
07:50So, big dreams, bold moves, and in the corner of that, I'm going to have, oh no, where'd she go?
08:03In the corner of that, I'm going to have, where's Lena Waithe?
08:08I cut out a picture of Lena Waithe.
08:10You should cut out a picture of like an organizer.
08:13Aren't you supposed to be a glow creator?
08:18You know, in 2018, you need to get new friends.
08:21So, you know, we have made a lot of progress.
08:26Um, so what we're going to do is finish this up real quick and come back with our final thoughts, ambitions, wishes.
08:33Can we spot?
08:34No, I'm good.
08:35Anyway, we're coming back.
