Editing pieces of my fave Black womxn was so relax

Editing pieces of my fave Black womxn was so relaxing and empowering❤ when I was younger my mum put up photos of inspiring Black people in the hallway, Michelle Obama, Nelson Mandela, MLK, Oprah etc, so that everyday when my brother and I would come downstairs in the morning we would go past people that helped pave the way for us to exist in so many ways, so that we knew whatever we wanted to become we could do it. When we came home, after exhausting or peaceful days no matter what happened on the outside with some things out of your control, in that hallway it reminded me of the world I wanted to exist in as I got older, it didn't seem impossible. The more access I had to social media the more I saw Black people that looked just like me, inside and out ❤ The Black experience is multi-dimensional and seeing these people I included in the video made me feel so seen. Spaces online and in person that represent us, that can guide us no matter how young or old you are, guidance is invaluable. Learning from those doing it in their own unique ways is so helpful and beautiful 🙌🏾 moments can spin out of control, so having a space online and in person to guide you through these times whether that's watching your fave show that has your fave Black and queer lead or reading a book about Black people with superpowers, entering Black community spaces or watching Serena and Simone set another record, these are the moments that bring peace to the chaos. Find your unique peace, do not be afraid to rest in it we deserve peace ✊🏾✨

Sis is finally 22. Sagittarius 🥳🎂🎁 Song o

Sis is finally 22. Sagittarius 🥳🎂🎁 Song of the year: Introspection by @whoisumi Photography by @eshephoto . Introspection (noun): the examination or observation of one's own mental and emotional processes. My fave lyrics from this song is 𝘐𝘵'𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘪𝘯 𝘮𝘺 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘥, 𝘪𝘵'𝘴 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯
𝘑𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢 𝘴𝘪𝘨𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘸𝘪𝘮 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘰𝘤𝘦𝘢𝘯
𝘚𝘦𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘥, 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘦
𝘈𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘦
𝘛𝘰 𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘤ourses" I had this song on repeatttt. Finding peace in embracing whatever comes. Understanding my past and having faith in my future. There was a sense of calmness that came with that, it was all part of the journey to better things, things that are right for you and aligned with you. Connecting with your past selves or inner child, the parts of yourself that made you who you are. Learning to love them and who you were, forgiving the history and also recognising the importance of standing firm in the person you worked to become today. 2020 helped me re-connect with my past selves, their passions and dreams. It was very easy to get lost in to do lists and meetings but this year, my mind needed to find moments of being still and grounded. Connect with everything I stand for and reflect. Being on the go all the time isn't good, so finding that balance was essential. It took 22 years though😂, sorting through the noise of what mattered and what didn't, letting go and giving in. Seeing power where I used to see weakness and taking up space as Black people should. Silence has no place here. Never be afraid of talking about your experiences, who you are and what you stand for✊🏾 in 2021 my content on here will be created a bit differently, this month in particular made me want to make my content show more stories and more of my own past stories❤ connecting with art forms I enjoyed as a child and experiences from my past that can help others. However the message is still the same, representation matters, platforms for intersecting identities, talking about mental health and connecting with our past selves/inner child. I can't wait to show y'all🥳❤

"Forgive yourself for not knowing what you didn’

"Forgive yourself for not knowing what you didn’t know before you learned it."- Maya Angelou. // just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone who's bought the new prints!! When going through a new journey, having the right words and similar experiences to yours is so important to remind yourself you're not alone. They can teach you how to get through it, how to look after your mind and spirit and how you can then spread the positive energy ✨ I hope to do with with y'all and want to keep sharing our wonderful stories, so that we may too help someone else one day. Before you go to bed remind yourself "I am a warrior, I forgive myself and I am destined for greatness." 🙏🏾❤ #LewkGoodDoGood

"We can’t afford to wait for the world to be equ

"We can’t afford to wait for the world to be equal, to start feeling seen...so you have got to find the tools within yourself to feel visible and to use your voice.”- Michelle Obama. Watching Michelle's Netflix documentary will give you allll that good serotonin, that film will inspire you and leave you feeling like you're on top of the world ready to take on anything❤🦸🏾‍♀️ (side note this is a photo pre-covid, ya boi wishes she was in France tho🇫🇷)
