Check In.

I found myself thinking about the first time I started this blog. I was in undergrad, reading Blog, Inc. and Share Your Work! It was the early 2010s, before IG was the powerhouse it is now, before ads were littering my FB feed. I remember logging onto FB every day to see what my “friends”…

2021

It’s 2021. We survived, my darlings. Here’s a photo montage of my face, since I photograph it very often 🤣:

Great is Thy Faithfulness

They say it takes a village to raise a child. Garnelle, an elder cousin on my father’s side, was a major part of my village. It saddens me to say that it has been 2 weeks since her passing. I can only hope that a portion of her exuberance and camaraderie will live on through…

Bloop-di-doop

Hiiiiii, I started producing makeup tutorials on YouTube again. Have 24 short minutes? GRWM 😁! IMPORTANT: Apotheshari has officially affiliated/aligned herself with jD Bath Co. (#apotheshariapproved)! Jazmine Duke, the HBIC, has also elected me to be her Director of Photography!! There is so much goodness on the horizon; buckle your seatbelts, heathens 😊✨!

I Love My Hair!

Happy Valentine’s Day, lovelies! My Valentine this year is myself, and I’m focusing on self love–specifically my hair. Since it’s also Black History Month, nothing better than the recreation of this wholesome video. Thank you Amanda Young for being silly with me. Major shoutout to Sesame Street and Segi the Puppet for helping little Black…

Happy New Year

Introducing The Perspective Series. As we descend into a new year, I want you all to remember that you only see what I want you to see. I enjoy creating visions of joy and curating happiness, but life isn’t butterflies and rainbows. Social media has us all believing that we a have true, heartfelt relationship…

The Winky Lux Experience

Have you ever heard of Winky Lux? It’s actually a traveling makeup brand/experience that pops up in different cities, so naturally, I had to check it out. Are you ready (for this jelly)? (@sharithompsonn ((aka. me)) x @theyoungamanda, as per usual.) Lolololol, who let me into this ball pit? #livingmybestlife See? That parenthetical amounted to…

ATTN: JayIsJo in the Building.

Nothing like a collab with Jay is Jo to get me thinking outside of the box! Jay is performing a one-woman show in ATL on Nov. 18th (click here), but if you are of the faint-hearted, I suggest you stay home. I warned you. These are my favorite shoots: Catching up with old friends, eating…

What Do You Think?

I’m in process of building my portfolio, but I need some help. I’m trying to narrow down my specialties to create some consistency. I’ve done a decent amount of everything of the past couple of years, but what do you like most? Thought I’d throw the question into the universe and see what comes my…
