Prayers and manifestations for her holistic recovery and longevity <3
Not just freeādivinely delivered.
On this beach, I honor the power they couldnāt kill.
I donāt just walk freeāI glide like my ancestors prayed I would.
Juneteenth isnāt a date. Itās in my DNA.
Unchained. Unapologetic.
This is how freedom dresses when the divine shows up.ā
Locked Up The Past
A visual representation of breaking out of everything that tried to hold me back from expectations, pressure, trauma, and paths I out grew.
The chains represent what once defined and controlled me. Now Iām shedding that version of myself stepping into who Iām meant to be, fully and without remorse.

at some point in everyoneās life you begin to feel a sense of solitude. you navigate through the universe trying to find your path and what feels right to you. on one side it feels blissful because you are rediscovering urself, finding new interests, etc yet other times itās hard because thereās no one you can rely on. No one to come to when you need it. Ur in that phase of āWho Am I?ā The idea of newness is so beautiful yet scary. You have found peace in the silence of your thoughts but crave more. you crave connection. youāre living what you always wanted but why does it also sometimes feel unfulfilling? they donāt talk about how chasing a dream, moving to a new city or in general choosing urself can be a lonely road. the emptiness it can bring you in the process before you finally realize that you have to truly just keep going and allow the world to do its thing. enjoy the silence. find happiness in your own space. being alone isnāt a horrible thing. it teaches u how to luv urself.
let the wind direct u. enjoy the sounds of the birds in the air. the leaves brushing across the floor. the loudness will come at due time.

Goodbye Winterā¦
I will say as a creative this was probably one of the hardest seasons I had to battle through. Trying to find consistency when the outdoors made it impossible to create. Another thing was actually experiencing seasonal depression for the first time and learning to battle through it. Overall just led to an overwhelming feeling of imposter syndrome and just finding myself as a creative again. I will say though that Iām grateful for it cause I have a whole new drive and different approach on how I want to express. So thank you winter 2026. ā¤ļøš¤š¾
