excited to announce that my first solo single in a LONG time, “Be Afraid”, drops on 29th May. it’s really one for anyone who’s ready to whistleblow, overshare, out their abusers and move with no shame this year 💖 You can presave it here: untd.io/r/AsFGs64C3UY9

it’s 4am and I’m in so much pelvic pain that I’ve called 111. the criteria for pain is so mad, it’s literally like “are you rolling around you’re in so much pain? are you in so much pain you can’t speak rn?…no? ok nevermind then just take ibuprofen” 😭

I'm on Bandcamp. Follow me to be the first to hear when I release new music: shanazdorsett.bandcamp.com/follow_me

Listening to the new MARSHA AMBROSIUS © album and all these nods to MJB (esp the My Life album) are making me smile 👌🏽.

discovered it a few years later (I was 10 in 1998 lol) but “Respiration” changed my life ✍🏽✍🏽✍🏽✍🏽✍🏽✍🏽

liberated from the copper iud, shoutout to Dr Creamer (yes that was her name) for giving me my life back 🤸🏽‍♀️

allah rescue our elders from those jaguar wright videos 🤲🏽

just awoke from a dream where I rescued a 7 year old orphaned girl from some kind of captivity that was located inside the mall from Stranger Things. she looked exactly like me as a child and asked me to adopt her. i'm ovulating and my inner child wants attention, I think?

May the Lord bless me for not acting upon my pettiest thoughts. amen.
