‘Looking for love’ at the airport (in a sweatsuit) of course.

Watch for the real reason why I have been MIA and what I have been wearing while doing it.

I can’t wait to share a little slice of my tall life with each and every one of you! Thank you for being a friend:-)

We all know what it’s like to find tall jeans and Chloe Anello wanted to make sure that women everywhere had the top picks for the season. I’m honored to be one of the people that she asked and am in some great company. Check out The Best Jeans for Tall Women, According to Tall Women HERE.

I can’t wait to hear what you think…I hope you find the perfect pair!

PS. This would not have been possible without Lucy Litman. She is amazing and recommended me to Chloe. I appreciate it so very much!

Last Sunday I posted ‘God, If you ran out of husbands just say that then.’

I just laughed again while I typed it. In my single walk, I have definitely had moments where I could relate to this and it’s hilarious. I felt it, I thought others could get at least a chuckle, so I posted it.

I know it was all out of love, and I appreciate it, but a wide majority of the comments, DM’s and emails were driven out of pity. 

I appreciate the prayers but please don’t cry for me.

Have I felt that phrase in my soul? Yes. Does that make me hopeless? Absolutely not. It makes me real.

You can have full faith that something will happen and still have moments of frustration.

They can and will simultaneously happen at the same time. I know who I am, I am confident in God’s guidance and I am content in His plan for my life, whatever it will be. I am continually working on being a positive, healed, whole Alicia that will be available to a real courtship that leads to marriage, rooted in purpose. I want a husband, but I don’t need one. She is good over here.

As a matter of fact, this time of isolation has promoted my personal growth in so many ways and I thought I would share three of the lessons that I have received specifically in relation to relationship:

1. Do not covet other relationships. I have been seeing a ton of breakups and divorces over the last couple of months. Many site having revelations from spending so much time together. You never see the inner workings of marriage from the outside. Stop comparing your singleness to a relationship that you don’t even know is truly solid. Appreciate the moment you are in right now, stop comparing and count the blessings that your singleness brings. They are there. Celebrate them.

2. I have work to do. We are constantly growing. With growth comes change. In order to be ready for any relationship, we must put in our own individual work. We often talk about never finding anyone who is “ready” but are you? The construct of being ready in itself can be argued, but we certainly can’t expect to find someone who is doing the work if we aren’t. 

3. Sometimes the answer is no. This is an unpopular opinion but sometimes the answer to a prayer is no and this includes prayer about relationships. I have really changed the direction of my prayers to start with “If it is in your will Lord.” I move my feet in the direction of all of my visions but know that his plans are best and will prevail. Some would see this as giving up, but for me it is a beautiful opening to more than I could ever imagine. I could never paint the picture like He can and don’t want to limit my prayers to my own abilities that pale in comparison to His power.

Also, we will be having another #TallGirlsNight soon so please stay tuned for that. See you soon!

Every day we Stand Tall in our remarkable height but during this time there are so many ways that we have all had to Stand Tall through it all.

From balancing working at home with homeschooling to pivoting in ways that we never thought we would financially to fighting on the frontlines as a medical or essential worker, we have all had to Stand Tall in countless ways.

While we are all in different walks with the effects of our current times, we will be walking them in a face mask for the safety of all of us. The final TallSWAG mask, the limited-edition Stand Tall mask, is an option that is also an expression of the ways that you have Stood Tall, are Standing Tall, and the way that you will continue to Stand Tall moving forward.

I Stand Tall with you. We all Stand Tall together!

While we don’t know what the future holds, we do know that we are going to have to continue to take measures to stay safe. There are many ways that we do this but one that is at the center of them all is wearing a mask at all times outside of your home.

While wearing a mask is not something that we would normally choose, it is an essential act of love for all of us. It slows the spread of viral particles, which helps to protect ourselves and others. it is literally a shield in our battle and I wanted to do my part to provide well constructed (and I would be lying if I didn’t say stylish) masks to those who want them and also vital masks to vulnerable communities in the Bay Area that need them. So I put on my creative cap and got to work…

The limited-edition Pineapple, Gingham and Animal Print masks allow you to practice safety while also expressing who you are. Most importantly, they reserve surgical and N95 masks for the healthcare works on the frontlines that desperately need them.

The best mask out of all of these are the masks that you can help provide for vulnerable communities in the Bay Area. For every $5 you donate, someone in need of a mask will receive a handmade, 100% tightly woven cotton, double layer, washable, durable, reusable face mask. It’s well constructed, universal and will provide essential coverage for those who need it.

Thank you for helping all of us! I can’t wait to bless people with these masks. It is vital that we all stand together against this. Thank you for your support! I will continue to pray that you, and all of us, Stand Tall through it all!

While I am definitely going to talk about some new and exciting tall options from Amalli Talli, let’s start with the remarkable women who founded and developed the line.

Sisters Alli Black and Amy Rosenthal felt the void that we have in fashion. They literally know how we feel because they are part of the ‘we.’ Amy is 6’4” and Alli is 5’10”. They saw and felt a need and literally went and continue to go after it. They create, test and release amazing tall styles to help us find what we need. It’s their passion and it drives them every single day. Check out this WWD article about what they do and the lack of inclusion of tall girls in fashion.

A prime example of the hard-to-find styles they create is the tall teddy jacket. I mean when was the last tall teddy jacket you have seen? I’ll wait.

These types of trendy items are incredibly hard to come by, if at all, and they really hit a home run with this one. The cut is appropriate for a tall frame rather than just having a couple of inches added on to it. It hits the waist right at the appropriate spot, is well constructed and it really does keep you warm. It’s an outerwear option that I will be wearing for cold seasons to come.

Now, I think my face tells the whole story. Who else is shocked when the busted knee actually hits at the knee? They hit this design right on the nose. The denim is soft but not too soft, as you can see the fit is right and the length is a true 35” or 37” inseam. I also personally love a great dark wash. Really, what is not to love about these jeans.

Now, we all know the trick where you roll up the sleeve to a faux 3/4 length to make it look like it was supposed to be made that way. I have been doing that to my jean jackets for years.

Not with this one right here hunni.

Just like the teddy jacket, it is the appropriate body length and the arms are spot on. I also love the light wash. While I don’t think they were made to go together, I like to wear it with the light wash Blakely Skinny jeans. Add a simple shoe and you are set.

You can also easily transition this look from day to night simply by taking off the jacket and rocking the jeans with the lace cami. Also, a hard item for us to find that Amalli Talli slayed.

As you can see. I am literally STILL falling for Amalli Talli. I love everything they have released and am on pins and needles to see what they are releasing next. I can’t wait for you to try it and remember to enter TALLSWAG15 in at checkout for 15% off your order.

Thank you Amy and Alli for everything that you do. I am looking forward to rocking Amalli Talli for years to come!

PS. My beautiful niece took all of these photos. I would put her name and photos on here but don’t really like to put her information on the web. Just know that she is super talented, strong and smart. I am blessed to be her Auntie.

It was a privilege to see and be a part of the lifestyle movement of sport. In particular, the entrepreneurial side of athletics is booming. Power Players are using sport to take their careers to new heights, create change, innovate and build ventures that will outlast the shine of any season. While there are Power Players making these moves every single day, their stories are seldom told…until now.

I have partnered with The Athletic to bring you the real stories of the Power Players of sport in The Power Play Podcast. Through dynamic interviews, I will show you a side of sports you have never seen before. I have an amazing lineup and I can’t wait to share it with you. As a matter of fact, I don’t have to because the first episode is here!

Derrick Robinson, aka the Golden State Warriors official DJ, D-Sharp, is the epitome of a Power Player. I could rattle off all of his amazing accomplishments but why do that when we have this amazing podcast? The debut of the official Power Play intro that was created by Derrick and Oakland artist Kev Choice is also in the episode. Clearly, there are so many reasons to press play.

I am incredibly grateful to Taneka Smothers, Brian Smith and the entire team at The Athletic for giving me this incredible opportunity to share this remarkable view of sports. I would also like to give a huge thanks to all of my guests and future guests on The Power Play Podcast. Last but certainly not least, I will be forever appreciative to Marcus Thompson for bringing my name to the table, for his mentorship and his continuous belief in me. Thank you, Marcus.

And as with every single thing that I do, thank you God. Literally nothing is possible without you.

And now. The debut of The Power Play Podcast…

The quality is amazing. I was incredibly pleased especailly for the price range. Pieces from moto jackets to jeans to cozy sweaters range from $44-$95. That is unheard of for a line such as this. You may or may not know this but it’s incredibly hard to hit a price point like that when you are an independent designer like Amalli Talli. It’s literally two amazing women spearheading the whole operation and they did everything they could to make the price points affordable for tall women everywhere. That in itself wins my support.

But on top of that, the clothes are specifically made for our tall bodies. It’s not a let’s add an inch to the bottom of these pants type of line. It’s crafted for our beautiful long arms, remarkable torsos and killer legs. You feel it when you put the pieces on. It’s an experience that we don’t often get and I for one appreciate the moment.

Last but certainly not least, I am super happy that they are pieces that you can mix, match and layer. You can create so many outfits. As you can see, I created 6 and I could have styled more.

So in summation, I am looking forward to the next drop (which I will obviously show you). Check out all of the pieces and let me know what you think. I can’t wait for you to experience it yourself. Report back and share because I think we should all know about stellar tall style, don’t you?

One of the biggest questions I receive is why did you decide to be on My Giant Life? I answer all of this and more on the latest episode of my fabulous friends podcast, The TV Doctor.

Dr. M. Foss is ev-a-ree-thang and really this is a podcast that is a weekly prescription that you need. Get into it. Sorry that I was a little forceful but I just really want you to bask in the greatness of this podcast.

Click HERE to listen to Episode 5: The Spectacle of Exploitavision. I mean, the title alone is really a reason to click. Am I right?

Exploitative television (TV that benefits from the pleasure we get from watching the hot messiness of others) is on the rise, and it's got us addicted, even when it's a show on the topic of addiction!

Enjoy! And please don’t keep this secret to yourself. Watch and share. We all deserve amazing tacos.

I think it’s different for everyone.

For me, I try my best to Stand Tall in every single thing that I do. Standing up for yourself in all areas of your life can be difficult. Do I fall short? Yes. But I have more wins than losses and I use my losses as knowledge to fuel my future wins. Standing Tall has saved me from making bad decisions, from believing lies that people tell me about myself, from lies that I tell myself and it has certainly saved my back from the terrors of slouching. Standing Tall is not just a physical occurrence, it is an act of pure self love.

I wanted to wear my badge of honor, so I created a shirt for myself and thought…what if others want to wear their truth too? No matter what your height is, we all Stand Tall for something. What is it for you?

Your declaration is coming soon. Sign up below to stay connected for all of the details.

I can’t wait for us to Stand Tall together! Coming soon…

Recently, I had the honor of being the first LIVE guest on The Change Cadet Podcast. It was an amazing night that I am so happy I get to share with all of you! Get ready to Stand Tall in Your Purpose on the first LIVE episode of the Change Cadet Podcast!

SPOTIFY | SOUNDCLOUD | GOOGLE PLAY | ITUNES

I have learned many lessons in my life, especially in the last year. They were all completely necessary and vital to the success of my purpose. Perhaps the most powerful fact that I gained this season is to be thankful for the closed doors.

After I resigned from my job, I mourned the closed door for 3 solid months. I stood there looking at it hoping that in some way the door would crack open, the uncomfortable comfort would seep out and I would be who I thought I was supposed to be again. There came a moment when the grief was exhausting and I took a baby step away, then another and another. The door slowly but surely faded into the background of the beautiful hallway that I was traveling down. I failed to see it because I was too busy looking at a rickety, old, dilapidated door that was doing nothing for me and hadn’t served me for years even when I was inside of it.

That closed door introduced me to a gorgeous life. Without it, I would never have seen the beauty of the current day. I am so incredibly thankful for it. As a matter of fact when a door is closing, I slam that bad boy shut, seal it with nails and block myself from ever walking into that exit again. Some would call it cut throat. I call it clear direction. Closed doors create intentional forward movement because the only option you should make, is to walk away from them.

But of course as humans, not only do we stand there and look at the door, we also do everything in our power to pry it open. We will literally harm ourselves to get a glimpse of what God no longer wants us to see. About an hour ago, God closed a door for me. In the past I would have lunged at the knob and used all of my might to keep it open but instead I thanked God for His decision and wished the door well. I bid it adieu and kept it moving.

I can’t tell you how good it feels to know that I am walking towards the doors God wants me to walk through instead of entertaining the ones that are departed.

There are literally people (I was one of them) that reside in dead doorways. We fear whats on the other side of them so much, that we stay stagnant. We incarcerate our purpose in a memory.

I say all that to say this: don’t be that person.

There is no time to delay. Start following the map that God has literally laid out for you with every single closed door. While they don’t always make sense, they are concluded to create movement. Thank them for the experience and move onward my friend.

I have been MIA and there is a good reason for that…GROWTH. We will be talking about it. Trust me. Speaking about talking about growth…

My dear friend Dr. Akilah Cadet (below in all of her glory) is remarkable. According to herself, Akilah is a coach, consultant and the Olivia Pope of diversity in the workplace.

I am incredibly grateful for Marshea Pratt and her entire staff for asking me to speak and congratulations to the 2019 University of the Pacific Black Graduates!

Good evening! How is everyone doing today? Greetings friends, faculty, staff, alumni and the illustrious class of 2019! Yes, you better make some noise for yourself! You did that!

My name is Alicia Jay. I received my Bachelors in broadcasting in 2002 and my Masters in Public Relations in 2003 right here at Pacific. I see you sitting there trying to do the math and let me just do it for you...I am 38 years old and looking great I might add. Now the burning question, did I play a sport at Pacific? Yes. I was the captain of the soccer team. The tallest goalie Pacific has ever had. Y’all actually believed me?

Really, I played basketball for 5 years because I redshirted for a season. For those of you who don’t know what that is, I was granted an extra year of eligibility because I needed to get stronger. When I walked on this campus I was a very skinny girl, with absolutely no muscle, who didn’t know who she was, with zero confidence. I came all the way down from Beaverton, Oregon where I was one of a few black kids in the school district. Not the school...the entire district. I would walk home from elementary school with my little brother and someone would yell nigger out the window. I had a teacher that would bring me up in front of the class on a regular basis and tell everyone how poor my spelling scores were and what a terrible student I was. Later when I began my career in basketball, my Father pulled me off of the court during a game because he could see that I was visibly shaken due to the other teams racial remarks against me. On top of that, I was bullied on a regular basis for being exceptionally tall. Now, I know that they were making fun of me because they wanted my gift and couldn’t have it but at the time every comment felt like a knife to my side. So by the time I arrived at UOP, I was depleted. I was low. I was suicidal.

During the first week, my teammate and I got a knock on our door and when we opened it, we were greeted by every black person on campus. The entire black student union came to make sure that we knew that they were there and more importantly that they had our back. After they left, my roommate and teammate who was from Oakland (shout out to Ahshalic) was shocked that the group were ALL of the black people in the student union, but for me, I was juiced! I finally had MY community with me. The 15 people at my door made me feel seen. They are my best friends to this day. They are the people who brought me back from hating who I was and more importantly taught me what a privilege it is to be black. They are my Sorors who I crossed with in 2001 when we reinitiated Delta Sigma Theta Sorority incorporated right here on this campus. They are my community that reminds me every day that I do in fact belong in the rooms that I am in and have the strength of every single black person who paved the way before me.

Look around you right now. No matter where you go, you will always have a thread of being in this graduating class with each other. This moment is the starting point to the rest of your lives. Now, I’m gonna take it church. I need you to greet your graduating class right now. Hug your neighbor to the left and the right. Congratulate them. Really. Do it right now. Don’t make me come down there and hug each and every one of you because I will...

Now, why am I up here? Sure. I have accomplished some things. I could talk about how after graduating from Pacific, I commenced a 13 year career in corporate America with the Golden State Warriors in Game operations and marketing. I won awards, produced championship games, I was in parades and I have three rings which of course I am wearing tonight because I earned these bad boys and paid the taxes on them so please believe I wear them whenever I get the chance.

I could talk about creating a successful lifestyle platform called TallSWAG that helps people to stand tall every day, in every way, that has brought me to many stages just like this one, enabled me to change lives and even star in a number one hit television show on TLC that was watched by millions of viewers. BTW I’m @TallSWAG on all social channels.

I could also talk about meeting Michelle Obama. I have proof y’all. Look. She is hugging me like I’m family. That’s not photoshopped. I still can’t believe that.

But I am not going to talk about any of those things. Today, I am going to talk about painting your own picture.

The other day, I went to one of those paint and sip classes for the first time. If you haven’t been, it’s a class that teaches you how to paint the template of a picture while you sip the drink of your choice.
This was the one that we were going to paint.

So, I get there. Find my easel. And I see the outline that is drawn. I make sure all of the colors are there and I am ready to paint it exactly how they told me too and something just clicked...why? There’s nothing wrong with it but I don’t put flowers in my hair and these colors don’t really go with my apartment...why did I have to stay in these lines? The answer is...you don’t.

As you walk into the rest of your lives there are many people that are going to try and box you in and up. They will put parameters around you and give you parameters to stick to.

They will tell you your hair is too natural,
that you can’t deviate from the plan,
that you are intimidating,
that you don’t deserve the promotion, a seat at the table or can create your own table.

That is their version of the painting. Those are their lines. Don’t let those lies incarcerate your truth. You are bold. You are dynamic. You are a game changer and a history maker. You are everything that many people don’t want you to be

and they will do things to make you believe that their version is better. Do not let them.

8 months ago I listened to myself say this and walked away from a guided portrait to pursue my own work of art. I am now a full time entrepreneur. It has been challenging, it is taking prayer, patience and persistence but any great feat does. In your path you will encounter many lessons and it is your job to live through them, learn from them and pass them on, so today that is what I am going to do for you. These are lessons I learned for someone in this room today and you better appreciate them because they were not pleasant but like all lessons completely necessary...

Starting over is essential. You will do it many times throughout your life. They will all be scary. They will all be worth it. You arrive at every new start with the necessary lessons for that level of your life. Nothing is wasted. Use the levels, don’t let the levels use you.

You belong in the room. Whether it be a room that you created or one that you are helping to create, you deserve to be there. Your path led you to this place.

God makes no mistakes. Embrace it and thrive in it.

You are the only one with your gifts. No two people are the same. We are created to accomplish things that only we can do. Stop comparing your gifts to someone else’s. There is no comparison. Create your lane and thrive in your purpose.

Congratulate and Collaborate. We are here to build with our community. We achieve together. Our gifts are to be shared and celebrated. Contribute to and gain from your community.

Hard work always pays off. You must move your feet or someone else will. Purpose cannot be achieved without movement.

Never stand at closed doors. Closed doors are a blessing. They carve our path just like open ones do. Do not stare at them. They are there to create movement. Thank them for the experience and move forward.

The bear is scared of you. Your gifts will scare people into forming weapons against you. They will not prosper. Move past their noise and towards the achievement of your goals.

Ignore the clock. Shed the worlds timeline of success. Work hard. Follow your path and let your purpose unfold in the way that it was meant to. Don’t rush your story. Live it.

Get out of your own way. Your feelings will stop you from doing what it takes to accomplish your purpose. Choose faith over feelings always.

Leave it here. You will never see a U-Haul behind a hearse. You are here to leave a positive mark on the world. Get out there and use your gifts to do it. Use your influence to the fullest.

Now, these are very important points but really it all comes down to this very moment. You have accomplished something amazing and I am very proud of you but if you don’t do anything with it, you just paid a lot of money for a cap and gown. Use your gifts, your black privilege and the knowledge that you have gained right here at UOP to change the world in the most humble way possible. There is nobody that can do it in the way that you can except for you.

It has truly been an honor. Thank you for having me and congratulations to OUR new class of 2019!
