We did it 😭 #blackmermaidep Out Friday,July 18, 2025 – Black Mermaid: Chapter 1

My debut EP is finally coming.

🎧 Tap the link in bio to Pre-Save
🧜🏾‍♀️ This one’s for the heart space.

I wasn’t taught how to be strong.
It was just expected.

And for most of my life, I carried that weight—
For everyone but me.
The strong woman. The strong Black woman. The boss. The fearless one.
The sacrificer. The safe place. The story that held everyone else.

But this year, I let the ocean take it.
All of it.

I traded in survival-mode strength for something softer.
And in return, I created a world:

This year, I traded in strength and created a new world.
A world where softness is sacred.
Where mermaids wear their natural hair, their Bantu knots, and their Afros.
Where soft power exists.
Where women and humans of every color, shape, and story
can exist in fantasy, softness, and freedom—without needing permission.

This is the first chapter of the me I haven’t shown you.
The comic-book loving, mermaid-dreaming, heart-on-sleeve kid
who turned her healing into music,
and her vulnerability into a universe.

Black Mermaid is for anyone learning to love the parts of themselves they were told to hide.
It’s a love letter to softness, mental health, and the magic of feeling again.

🖤 Welcome to Chapter One.

@bbc @bbclondon Thank you 😭 for premiering the #firstlisten for my new single “Girl Like Me”.

@salmaelwardany I’m so grateful to have women like you in the industry, who create space. Thank you for such a dope interview and for hosting my “first listen” in London, as I enter this new chapter with my music and career. Your work and journey continues to inspire me.

This interview was such a milestone for this Jamaican Girl from Canada.

“Girl Like Me” is a song about turning grief into your soft girl “Glow Up” season. It’s a cameo for anyone whose ever underestimated your value and an anthem to move us all into our best chapter.

“Girl like me” drops June 18 - Pre save ( link in bio)

Thank you @jarreltheyoung for producing this @hiddenpony / @universalmusicgroup / @grantcreativity and my whole team.

This is courage…

I want to thank the @wxnetwork for such an incredible award, honour and recognition. Sitting in a room with women from some of Canada’s leading corporations, brands, organizations and startups was transformational.

It meant so much to be here. To reflect on getting here. To be in such a powerful room and to feel worthy. To be the only artist in the room, and to understand the responsibility and power of being able to use music, community development, mental wellness and business to transform lives.

Being recognized in the “Women of Courage” category, was extremely emotional because behind all of the visible work that people see, are the silent, quiet and difficult daily journeys , that so many of us juggle just to show up.

What was clear was that our power is in showing up. If not anything else, it’s putting on what ever shoes fit right that day and just stepping into the room. I realized yesterday that simply showing up and taking up space as a women is political, because our existence challenges, waters and transforms spaces.

So thank you to everyone who has continued to remind me to do so. Thanks to my team. To the Top 100 women from this year and previous years and to all of my female artists and entrepreneurs who are doing the work and not always recognized.

My courage is our courage, and our courage is the requirement for entry as a woman. Courage in what ever size you can show up with.

@keshiachante Thank you for being part of my warrior journey. 💙

Some moments mean a little more when you think about the journey it took to get there.

Growing up as a Black Canadian singer-songwriter, I didn’t always see many examples of women who looked like me building careers that made room for every part of who they were.

Watching you move from music into hosting, entrepreneurship and building your own beautiful empire helped me imagine what was possible beyond the boxes we sometimes find ourselves in.

So getting to share this little Warrior Song moment with you at last week’s Imagiin Summit meant more than you know. This song pulled me out of one of the toughest moments in my journey and has become a mental health anthem for my community.

Thank you for sharing so many beautiful chapters of your journey with us, and for continuing to remind the next generation of women that we don’t have to fit into just one box.

I can’t wait to share some of the beautiful moments from our conversation.

With love,
Your fellow warrior and mermaid. 🩵 by @domagrant

Thank you. And I mean that from the bottom of my heart. 💙

After six months of planning, dreaming, building, very little sleep and imagining what was possible for the 4th annual @imagiinlab Summit, we did it.

This year, we took a leap. We tried a new model, brought together some incredible creative minds and worked alongside an ecosystem of organizations, brands and companies to imagine a different kind of space for our industry.

A space where professional development and mental wellness could exist in the same room.

We did it. And we learned a lot for next year.

But one of my biggest realizations is that the win wasn’t solely in the event itself. It was in the growth, the courage to try something new, the incredible humans in my corner and the reminder that there’s still so much room to imagine and build things differently.

To every speaker, funder, partner, attendee, team member, volunteer and silent supporter, thank you.

To everyone who showed up, believed in the vision, trusted us and helped bring this year’s Summit to life, I am so deeply grateful.

There are so many stories, conversations, moments and memories I can’t wait to share with you.

But for now, I’m going to take some of my own advice, rest, reset and come back to share it all with you soon.

I’m gonna sleep now. We did it. 💙

4 years ago I asked the Universe for 1 billboard, today it gave me 4 😭…

I’ve been quiet but I’m excited to be stepping into a new chapter of music, projects, initiatives and announcements…

For today…Keep going. Imagine bigger. When doors close, build your own house, and be unapologetic in what you ask the universe for.

Thank you @imagiinlab and the Imagiin Summit.
Can’t wait to co-host on October 7 and share the stage with an incredible line up of Juno winning, Grammy winning and internationally celebrated creatives innovating new models of success, inside of The Great Hall.

Thank you for all the birthday love 😭🥹🥳 ♌️

What a year it’s been.

I woke up today and realized that in the middle of working hard, pursuing my dreams and manifesting blessings in this life, my biggest blessing is the beautiful community of all of you. The genuine circle or love that’s made my life fuller than I could have ever imagined.

So from a Leo, who’s making big wishes this year, thanks for being apart of one of them. by @domagrant
