Dem still a fight ova man? Ooo tragic. 😌🏴‍☠️
Love to see all kinds of women loving themselves and their bodies on the road. You can hate on a carnival costume all you like - it makes women feel like goddesses and for one day we can walk the road in all our half Nekid glory and still make the rules 🔊🇯🇲🔥

 Fling back to last year on the road with @toshalexander @naomicowan @bloomwithbri

Some of us get to ride in the Ferrari to truth...✨
Zia, Flowerchild & I sat jamming with a quite brilliant journalist a couple of nights ago @geejamhotel . The kind of conversation we relish. Real.
“So all three of you were shaped by grief” he remarked. And we were taken aback. 
✨
For the thread that bound us and unquestionably turbo-charged the depth of recognition and connection, hadn’t until that moment occurred.
We will all be touched by loss. Whether it’s a person, a relationship a loss of innocence, childhood nurture or otherwise. 
And then for some, life delivers experiences so dissembling that they catapult you into unfolding. They destroy who you were, simultaneously birthing who you are. And that’s what I call the ‘Ferrari to truth.’ 
✨
Not a luxury ride but an accelerated journey back to the core. 
A ride which shortcuts the meander and strips you. Delivering you straight into confrontation with your essence.
You recognise instantly those who’ve ridden in the passenger’s seat. Varied circumstance, same destination....
✨
A rebirth born not automatically from the tumultuous ride, but of the willing to surrender to it. The courage to be with your own pain. 
For the gracious gift of knowing your own darkness, is a blown open capacity to experience and be love, of an equal magnitude. 
For as deep down and far away from the light as we have been, is only illustrative of the heights of equal proportion to which we can soar.
And when life places these beings on your path to journey with, you need not have known them for any significant length of time as your soul instantly knows theirs. And other superficial details become superfluous. 
✨
For those connections are the most profound and blessed mirror. Time spent in their presence ensuring we can’t ever forget for too long, the beautiful truth of who we are. And only love and a silent honour for every kilometre of the journey resounds.💚

GOOD MORNING & BIG UP INDIA‼️ — our new video for “If You Loved Me Again,” feat @ziabenjamin from GDR’s album, Love & Faith exclusively released through @rollingstonein check the link in our bio! — full release through the @gdr_shantaram YouTube channel this Saturday!! Swipe through for preview! 

“With his new music video “If You Loved Me Again,” there’s a stirring ballad that’s anchored in Jamaican vocalist Zia Benjamin’s downhearted vocals and saxophone by Kemroy Bonfield. Roberts says about the song, “[It was] a warm and creative collaboration that began with a beautiful tune by DJ Popof, which inspired a mood and a string of words that then became the deeply moving vocals of Zia Benjamin, a rising star in Jamaica, which has a heaven of talent.” Jamaican sound engineer Dale Virgo also co-produced the track.” — Anurag Tagat, @rollingstonein

Big up to the amazing @thedazzle for getting this opportunity to be in @rollingstonein ‼️‼️
