Leaning Into My Self
“Rather than what I’ve accomplished and the skills I put on my resume that change in value depending on external factors, I’ve possessed an understanding that the person I am beneath all of that is actually what’s worth putting at the forefront. “
The Art of Loving Well
“I’ve begun to appreciate acts of love and moments of pure connection as they happen.”
Following The Sunset
“I followed and trusted the words of the Sunset—my guide and subconscious voice: the Holy Spirit. This allowed me to discern that things will not fail for me unless I let them; mindset is everything.”
“Perfectly” Comfortable
“I choose to share my beauty with those who cherish it and who won’t tarnish it. It’s not for the world to take what’s mine and feed it through a machine that creates plastic barbie dolls; slaves to an industry responsible for corrupting a generation of Kardashian wannabes.”
Sabeel: A Path
This poem expresses the cycle of our lives; how innocent souls come to face the harsh and cruel world. They turn into monsters and the cycle carries on. But no matter how dark it gets, our souls will shine again one day.
The Licked Soul
“Closing her eyes and beginning to run her right fingers through the strings playing the tune of her soul, she softened.”
"I need to see my own beauty and to continue to be reminded that I am enough, that I am worthy of love without effort, that I am beautiful, that the texture of my hair and that the shape of my curves, the size of my lips, the color of my skin, and the feelings that I have are all worthy and okay."
