Slowly but surely I’m shaking off the turkey hangover and shifting my energy and wardrobe to match the Christmas season. As we transition into that last month of the year, I’m focused on all things that bring holiday cheer. For the month of December, I’ll be warming up cider, hanging Christmas lights and admiring all my holiday décor.
Although we’re still in the midst of a pandemic, I realized there are so many things to be grateful for, like family and friends. And while I haven’t spent much time with loved ones this year, my goal is to send everyone on my list something special to show my appreciation for all they’ve done to support me from afar.
While you can usually find me elbow to elbow racing around crowded malls to find the perfect gifts, this year I'll be bundled up on the couch finding all the right things, scrolling through The Black Girl Doctor Holiday Gift Guide. The guide provides an assortment of unique gifts that will satisfy everyone on your Christmas list. Personal recommendations from your favorite doctors are below:
