POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

My EP, Fragments, is out today. As much as I love music, this runs deeper than that for me. You’re listening to track 6. is it a safe space?

Our identity is our greatest creative work. In the adoptee community, we call the state of not understanding adoption’s impact “The Fog” — living through something traumatic without knowing its weight, until a moment shatters the illusion and forces you to see it. Until two years ago, that was me. I couldn’t point to a wound or root cause. I didn’t even think adoption involved trauma.

Identity was a struggle as a kid — light-skinned, biologically Black, raised in a mixed household, trying to navigate people who were mine and not mine at the same time. “Too white for the Black kids, too Black for the white kids” became my theme, and belonging was something I was always searching for. Add the “you should be grateful” comments — true, but as a kid, they taught me to suppress instead of process.

External validation became my best friend. Longing to be loved by all and hated by none broke me down — until I found music. It’s the one place I’ve felt free to express myself without being tied to anything but how I felt. This EP is fragments of that expression, made during my time in The Fog.

Reconnecting with my mom’s side did more than words can describe. The piece of me left incomplete became whole. I’m out of The Fog now, and I understand its impact — something I continue to unpack daily, with grace for where I’m at.

I feel free to be creative, Fragments, out now. 🖤
