👩🏽‍🎓Mastered it! 🎓 (Masters of Global Communications)

My son Rhys took these pics yesterday on WMU’s campus, primarily for scenery because my degree is actually from #ArizonaStateUniversity 🙌🏽

He did such a great job 👏🏽 My little junior photographer 🫶🏽

3 weeks until I’m done & a month before I walk… this journey has been crazy challenging to do as a single Mom of 3 in perimenopause with one in college (at WMU 🤪🙃)

I was tempted to stop 3 times but I’m so glad I betted on myself & flatly refused to give up; proving it’s NEVER too late for any of us.

I’m proud of myself. Seriously. 🥹🥹🥹

I used to think holiness meant hiding. Holiness is not hiding your body. That is oppression & religious extremism.

I used to think healing had to be hard. Healing had to be suppressing my seggsuality. Hiding from desire.

I used to think my body was the enemy, desire my curse. Seggs a damn near weapon of destruction & doom 😩

I don’t believe any of that anymore. It’s religious conditioning bullsh-t that continues to oppress women globally while f-cking up our all ready fragile nervous systems. It is NOT our responsibility to protect men from acting evil &/or impulsively. Chile!

I built The Soft Girl Survival System™ for women like me — Black women healing from religious & all sorts of trauma, shedding shame, and learning how to feel safe again.

We launch TOMORROW.

This isn’t just a program. It’s a permission slip. It’s personal to me.

I am decidedly *intentionally* in my soft girl era. 💕 My recent adoration for wearing miss priss dresses a reflection -I believe- of the softness the healing work I’ve been invested in doing has brought me. 🙌🏽

Post DV & divorce I thought I had to DO more & BE more. More books. More breath work. More “fixing,” myself. These area all great things, no doubt.

But the majority of the healing began when I determined to change my mindset around my worth. I leaned into my inherent worthiness which was incredibly challenging while facing DV/divorce fall out, a PTSD diagnosis & the beginnings of Perimenopause, worsening ADHD & HELLA anxiety every damb day 😒

I realized I wasn’t broken (I mean, per se 🤪😂). I was exhausted. I didn’t need a hustle plan & in fact for 3 years straight I was too tired & unfocused due to ADHD kicking up that I couldn’t have hustled any harder if I tried.

I needed a healing rhythm & that’s what I created for myself. Slowly & somewhat meticulously.

A lot of people have been sharing with me how they’ve seen me shift online to a woman more at peace than I’ve ever been & y’all are NOT WRONG. I am! I truly am in a better place now than I ever have been. 🫶🏽

I created The Soft Girl Survival System for every other Black woman fighting these same battles & still clawing through the muck & mire.

It launches Wednesday.

You deserve a reset that doesn’t ask you to prove anything.
