« 22 » is out
It’s for your ears to hear, for your eyes to savor and your heart to heal. I am beyond happy, excited , grateful and terrified to share this story with you all.
22 is an ode to my older sister that passed away three years ago. It’s a celebration of her infinite beauty, to the memories that are on repeat in my mind, to the incredible person that she was.
Writing this song stopped my wounds from bleeding
I was fortunate enough to have a level of support that made this happen
To you
@diamante_ka I am grateful for your incredible vision, your artistry, your eye and first and foremost your heart. I couldn’t entrust the responsibility of creating these visuals to anybody else- Nobody could’ve done it better than you. Thank you for your friendship, for being there and present, for sharing the experience of grief and navigating it with so much strength and wisdom
This visual rendition is filled with sincerity, delicacy, simplicity, understanding and respect. My sister from another momma, I love you.
