This morning I realized I just didn’t have it in me to create today. And I’m learning that doesn’t mean I’m failing as an artist. It means I’m giving myself a soft day… which is really just deep work in disguise. Rest doesn’t block my art… it sustains it.
I know my lil’ Ring Neighborhood app better stop with these play-by-play Nutria Rat updates. I ain’t the one today. Somebody better come get ‘em. For real.
You know what? My trauma still rides with me… but it had to learn it is only a LESSON now. Not the wheel. Not the map. Just a MEMORY with a seatbelt on.
My girl Kennedy Ryon is sponsoring the vibes of this Friday workday to perfection. Thank you, Queen, for keeping my soul seasoned, lifted, and grooving my way down this email inbox. Let’s ride this juicy goodness ‘til clock-out. 🎶⌚🕺🏽
Saints... I was sitting in stillness this morning... and it hit me.
I gotta treat my thoughts like TV. Let ‘em play. Feel what they stir up. Cry if I need to. Cuss if I have to. Laugh out loud, even. Then change the channel.
The way my dog just sits there watchin’ me do housework don’t sit right in my stomach... like... are you judging? Or supervising? Either way, get a job.
I know some of y’all are gonna laugh, but I’m still in shock at how $150 disappeared on a random Wednesday night. Left the house rich, came back with regret. Never again.
Let’s bow our heads for the 1,000,000th tube of chapstick I forgot in my damn pants and cooked in the dryer. May its melted remains moisturize my socks for generations to come. Amen.
Oh, so we defunding diversity in the arts like it’s a clearance sale on oppression? The Cheeto foolishness continues. Black artists stay getting shortchanged—but we still gon’ create. Y’all ain’t stopping nothing.
Artists ears up.👂🏽 Heard this today, and it sank right into my spirit: 'Your art should disrupt the system. If it supports the system, it's just an advertisement.' Sit in that and let it marinate.
Baby, life will life whether we like it or not. But peace? That’s in your hands. Control what you can, release what you can’t, and let the universe do its thing. Ain’t no sense in wrestling with the wind. #LetGoAndFlow
