About

Hi I'm Lindsay!

I post about practical stuff we should know that makes life better. Not an influencer, just out here trying to make us more efficient, awake, good people. 

I am real into efficiency, best practices, and data-based decisions which I maybe apply to the extreme in my personal life. My professional background in public education and local education policy really opened my eyes to social justice and I share my perspectives on that here too.

Based in D.C. with my husband, son, dog, and currently expecting baby #2 in October 2023 (2 under 2 here we come).

Also how great is my picture? It was captured by the amazing Jen Joseph, and if you are local to the DMV you need her to do a family photo session for you. I hate pictures of myself but I cried at every single photo from our family shoots together - she just gets it.

How do I know you?

This used to be a blog called Broke & Bougie back in the Wild Wild West days of blogging that kind of blew up when 3 million + downloaded a resource I published back in the day. Broke & Bougie was a blast (thank you all for the support over the years) but things are different because I'm different (yay growth!) and because Migos destroyed my killer SEO, but same values, same idea, just a little more grown up and a rebrand. You also may have been one of the thousands of participants that come here in 2020 for the 30 Day Education Challenge on race in America.

Most Requested

30 Day Education Challenge: Join thousands of others in learning about race in America including history (what we weren't taught in school), systemic racism, and action items you and your family can take together. This is a family friendly challenge.

THE Pregnancy Spreadsheet: I was appalled at how unorganized pregnancy is and how hard it was to find all the information I was looking for in one place. This spreadsheet attempts to organize it with a timeline outlining symptoms and doctor's appointments, a registry guide, product recommendations, and first week at home list.

Black Owned Shopping Guide: Shopping Black owned businesses is an easy step to take. This was crowd sourced and updated regularly, if you have resources to add please let me know.
