Welcome to My Blog!

I’m currently on a flight headed to Milan for my 33rd birthday. After the past week I’ve had, I feel like this is the first time I genuinely get to breathe and just be in the moment. It has been a WEEK. Planning for my birthday trip to Italy, prepping to launch this blog on my birthday (if you’re reading this on November 1st – IT’S MY BIRFFFDAYYY!), and on top of that working: every. single. day.

Serendipitously, as I get cozy in my seat, I check the Delta shows, looking for something to drown out the noise of the baby crying directly behind me, and see a Series for Issa Rae’s Masterclass: Creating Outside The Lines. Issa Rae is such an inspiration, and in this particular masterclass, she’s talking all about content creation, the irony, right?!

I believe nothing is a coincidence, and I’m getting just the spark of inspiration I needed to get this blog to you.  

“There is no one who sees the world like you do, there is no one who has your exact point of view, your exact experiences. That makes you right and qualified to tell the stories that you were sent to tell.” – Issa Rae

Launching this blog, or as I’ve been calling it, the re-re-RE launch of my blog, has brought in a roller coaster of emotions for me. If you don’t know, I first launched a blog in 2015 after college, really craving a place where I could write, create, and express myself that didn’t include a long, cheesy Instagram caption. I launched it, and I truly fell in love with blogging. 

In 2017, I repurposed that blog to my marketing agency, Roze Gold, which I don’t regret at all. Roze Gold was a more fitting name for my marketing agency, vs. a blog – and the transition just ‘felt right’. After that, I relaunched my blog under a new name: Love Roze, and to cut passed the bullshit, I simply was not as consistent as I needed to be and just — stopped?

This has always been a passion of mine, but after starting and stopping businesses so many times, I wanted to wait for the right time to launch this again. A moment where I’ve built up enough discipline to remain consistent, no matter what life may throw my way.

And the time is now. 

Instead of waiting for my flowers, I decided to give them to myself.

Each Sunday, you can expect a new blog post (hold me to it y’all!), featuring an array of topics: new styles for the season, my favorite food recipes, chats about life, recaps of my travel, etc. 

My hope is that if you read my blog, you walk away with something – if it’s an idea for an outfit, the inspiration to live boldly, or just an escape from the consistent scrolling on social media. 

So now, let me re-re-RE introduce myself: I am Rozay Janae and welcome to my little corner on the internet, RozayJanae.com. I’m so happy to have you!

xoxo, Rozay.
