I don't want wellness practices that teach me to be at peace with an inequitable world. I need practices that help me to stay sane while doing my part to fight against it. if it makes you compliant to injustice, it's not healing—it's sedation.

you become more and more beautiful when you start to trust that you are divinely taken care of.

I love the way that I honor and take care of myself. I make it a point to only surround myself with beautiful things and people and don’t accept any less than that in my life.

i really like ppl who are openly ambitious and find them easier to talk to than ppl who are self-deprecating or guarded about their aspirations. ambition is an expression of earnestness. there's way too much cynicism in this world.

As I step into the second half of 2025, it's important for me to fully allow myself to dream and embody the woman I want to become in the present in preparation for the future. The tenacity must match the audacity and vice-versa. That's it. No more half stepping.

People who believe blue collar workers are below them are people who I never want to interact with

i can find racism in everything so don't ask me.

Starting over doesn’t mean you’ve failed. It means you had the courage to pause, reassess, and choose a new path. It’s normal to feel unsure or like you’re catching up. The key is to shift your mindset, focus on learning, and lean into the support around you.
