IAWhy I’m sharing more, not less. For a long time, I edited and limited myself online.
Not because I lacked opinions, obviously, but because I was carrying a lot of responsibility.
Community. Work. Other people’s comfort. My own healing. I made myself smaller at times to avoid being boxed in, misread, or turned into a token. I’m done with that.
What I’ve learned along the way is this: being clear about where I’m at, what I want, need and deserve. As well as what I stand for, and what I’m building is better than constantly managing other people’s projections.
So I’m choosing to share more. Not louder, not faster — but deeper.
That’s also why I re-opened my Instagram subscriptions. Not for exclusivity, but for intimacy. And more so sustainability. Because being who I am, and doing the work I do, has cost me time, peace, safety, and resources. And I want to keep showing up without burning myself out.
For subscribers I’ll share:
🔒 longer reflections
🔒 behind-the-scenes of my work
🔒practical tips & mini-classes
🔒thoughts I don’t always post publicly
🔒Q&As, meetups and more
If you’ve ever wanted more context, more honesty, more depth — it’s there. And it also gives you a way to support my work.
No pressure. Just an open door 🫶🏾
