Sparkle & Sense is Crystal’s space to share the real moments behind all the hats she wears — Black woman, wife, mom, professional, creator. It’s where she writes about marriage in all its brutiful layers, motherhood in its beauty and chaos, and the lessons that shape her as she grows. It’s real, reflective, and brilliantly human. And, this is where Crystal shines and tells the truth at the same time.

When I finally learned to say, “You’re right.”
I’ll be honest — saying “you’re right” has never come naturally to me. Not because I think I’m always right, but because admitting someone else is right — especially when it’s about me — requires a level of humility that can feel…weird. And when that someone is my spouse? Whew. That’s a different kind of mirror.
