2025, what a year you were.

There’s so much I could say but I think one phrase sums up this entire year for me and that is “deep, unapologetic growth and healing…”

It wasn’t a loud year in the public eye but it certainly was loud everywhere else. Looking back over this year - I hold nothing but gratitude for the journey I was able to walk down even when everything around me crumbled. Even on the days I didn’t think I could keep going. This year I did the work for myself, for my lineage, for my bloodline, and I cleansed myself of my father’s sins - (thank you Bey for the reminder)

I DID THAT. No one else, me. Me and my angels, me and God, me and my ancestors. This year changed me/transformed me in ways that I KNOW I will NEVER be the same again. Not even a little bit.

I learned to hold my imperfections, to nurture my inner child and lead him back to safety, and I made a home within myself - a home that was always awaiting my arrival. I chose sobriety (and I’m 14 months in - THANK GOD 🥳) and that alone not only changed my life but healed entire generations before me in my family who never had the strength to do so. A family riddled with alcoholism, drug addiction, etc.

This year I lost more than I won but was it really all losses? No. I gained wisdom, clarity, confidence, strength, resilience, and for the first time ever, I found MY POWER. A power NOTHING AND NO ONE CAN EVER TAKE FROM ME EVER AGAIN. I don’t ask permission for ANYTHING that already BELONGS TO ME (thank you again - @beyonce )

This year I called my power back to ME. From every person, place, space, time, and dimension where I left it (thank you - @joysoulmusic ) and I stepped boldy into the unknown only to rise like the phoenix that I am NOW. Today. In this moment.

I don’t owe anyone an explanation for my process or my journey and it is not my duty to change others. It is only my job to heal, shine my light, live authentically, share my story, and lead others over the rainbow if only they choose it for themselves. I’ve walked down the yellow brick road but I’ve also weathered every storm imaginable to be here.

I hope that in this new year, you will learn to choose you. BLESS U ALL 🦋✨

Revival is COMING✝️

- You ask me who my brothers are, I’m showing you these men right here. Nothing makes me happier than seeing the people I’m surrounded by recognize their calling and step into God’s perfect will for them. A new beginning—a new life. 🙏🏽
