Knowing me is knowing that simplicity is the best peace I can offer.

I’ve learned that everything doesn’t need to be loud to be meaningful. Not every blessing needs an announcement. Not every transition needs an explanation. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is move quietly, love deeply, create intentionally, and let your life speak for itself.

I’m in a season where I value peace over performance, purpose over perception, and presence over proving myself.

The older I get, the more I realize that simplicity isn’t having less it’s needing less from the world to feel whole.

Less explaining.
Less chasing.
Less noise.
More gratitude.
More intention.
More God.
More life.

There’s a different kind of freedom that comes when you stop trying to make everyone understand you.

I don’t need everything to be perfect. I just want it to be real, meaningful, and peaceful.

And if knowing me means anything, I hope it’s that you know I will always choose peace. 🤍

🌈✨ 🎉Today begins my Rainbow Year 🎉✨🌈

Inspired. Impactful. Fulfilled. Blessed.

This year is more than a celebration of another year of life it is a divine reminder of God’s power, grace, and promises. This is the year where I get to witness firsthand the things God spoke over my life begin to unfold. The promises, the visions, and the words He placed in my spirit are coming into alignment.

I have walked through storms. I have experienced heartbreak, challenges, and moments that tested my faith but through every season, God gave me the strength to overcome. Every battle shaped me, every lesson prepared me, and every tear watered the ground for what is now beginning to bloom.

This chapter is my rainbow the sign of promise after the storm. A season of fulfillment, grace, love, acceptance, restoration, and seeing myself through God’s eyes in a whole new light.

What’s beautiful is that I told everyone I wasn’t celebrating this year because I wanted to spend this moment with myself and with God. Some may not always understand my choices or my process, but this was never about sadness or isolation. It was about alignment. It was about being fully immersed in His presence and allowing my spirit to be filled before anything external could celebrate me.

Because you can receive all the congratulations, the cheers, and the “you made it” moments but true fulfillment starts within. The inside has to be just as full as the outside.

This year, I chose stillness. I chose reflection. I chose God. And I can honestly say I have never felt more blessed, more peaceful, more grateful, and more fulfilled.

I am excited to watch this year blossom. I’m excited to witness every promise unfold and every seed planted in faith come into fruition.

Today marks my 32nd birthday, but also my Rainbow Year. 🌈✨

Stay tuned… for the promises unfolding. 🤍 by @__byshay

Leader of the misfits call me “General”

Still smiling from the other night. 🖤✨

Our very first exhibition, (soft launch) in the new space was PACKED OUT. I’m beyond grateful for everyone who showed up, supported, and poured love into this vision. Seeing it all come to life meant everything to me.

Big love to the team and the incredible artists who set the tone so beautifully. This is only the beginning.

Grand Opening up next… stay tuned. 🙏🏾🔥 taken in The Museum Detroit by @__byshay

|Thirty• WON-derful | Years Today!!🌹🎊

I wear red not just for beauty, but for boldness
a symbol of the passion I’ve poured into my purpose, the power I’ve earned through every lesson, and the elegance that time has refined. I am wisdom draped in silk, fire wrapped in elegance, and a woman who’s learned to command every room she enters without ever raising her voice.”

This year I have choosen “Lady in red”

Red is not just a color it’s a declaration. I don’t ask for space I create it. I don’t chase light I become it. ✨

These years have sculpted me not just in style, but in strength. In this red, I honor every chapter, every choice, and every moment that made me unshakable.”

I celebrate becoming my own standard of beauty, brilliance, and becoming.

“They say red is the color of power and at 31, I’ve never felt more powerful. Not because life’s been easy, but because I’ve made it art.”

Here’s to a woman who’s not just aging she’s ascending.” 🌹🔥❤️👑

“Red dress, soft steps, loud spirit. This is 31 in bloom. 🌹”
