Blog 10: The Fine Line Between Sharing and Privacy

Hello, my loves!

This week has been a revelation of sorts. As much as I dream of being a worldwide content creator, traveling to different places, speaking to women from all walks of life, and inspiring them to chase their dreams—I’ve come to a realization. My content, as much as it carries passion, sometimes feels vague and not entirely relatable. And that’s something I need to bridge.

How do I share my story in a way that uplifts and transforms without compromising my privacy? How do I remain open and vulnerable enough to make an impact while still protecting the sacred parts of my journey?

I’m learning that finding this balance is crucial. I love sharing. I love helping. But I also love my peace. And I don’t believe I have to sacrifice one for the other. So, I’m committing to figuring out how much I can give, how much I should hold back, and what truly serves both my audience and myself.

Life is too short to play it small. I refuse to live on the outskirts of my own world—watching from the sidelines, waiting for the “right” moment to step in. Because the truth is, there is no right moment. The time is now.

And to my fellow dreamers, doers, and storytellers: silence can be the death of dreams. Someone out there needs your story. The girl coming behind you—the one who looks up to you, who is searching for guidance, who is waiting for proof that her dreams are possible—she needs your lessons, your blueprint, your journey.

So, live boldly. Speak fearlessly. And share where you can. Because your story has the power to change someone’s life.

Until next time,
With love and intention.

Blog 23: The Hood, The Lie of Sacrifice & The Freedom of Truth

Image
A deep reflection on place, purpose, and the lie of the savior complex. The Hood Is Heavy There’s something deeply unsettling about the “hood”—not just the geography of it, but the spirit it carries. I live in the hood. It’s loud. It’s bitter. It’s angry. And more often than not, it’s dangerous—not only to the body, but to the soul. The fruits are the same, over and over again: scarcity, jealousy, gossip, violence, and trauma dressed up as toughness. You feel it in the streets. You hear it in the casual cruelty of neighbors. And somehow, you’re just expected to adapt . But I can’t romanticize the hood. Not today. Because what I see is a system that was engineered to break people down—and sadly, it's doing just that. A Short History: How the Townships Were Designed Let’s be clear: black people didn’t choose the hood— the system chose it for us. South African townships, where the majority of black communities still reside, were a product of apartheid’s violent spatial pl...

Blog 23: Hey, Yourself

Image
A soft reminder to rest and reflect. Waking Up with Joy Hey, yourself. This week has been amazing , hey? I woke up each day excited, ready to face the morning with an open heart. My mind felt clear—lighter, even—and there was no anxiety clouding my vision. Just peace. Just presence. It’s been a long time since I felt this in my body. Like I’m finally breathing again after holding it in for months. I allowed myself the luxury of rest and the tenderness of reflection—and that, in itself, felt like a miracle. Facing the Exhaustion I'd Been Ignoring I realised something this week: I hadn’t given myself the space to truly process life —its weight, its surprises, its pressures. I’ve been in motion for so long, running from one task to the next, that I forgot what stillness felt like. That caught up with me. It showed up in my face. In my attitude. In my spirit. I was exhausted, bestie. And when exhaustion lingers long enough, it doesn’t just wear you down—it changes you. It beco...

Blog 21: Choosing Peace, Not Performance

Image
This week, I’ve been noticeably quiet on social media. I didn’t feel the need to post, to show up online, or to prove that I’m still working toward something. I’ve simply needed silence—a moment to step back and reflect on what truly matters. And in that stillness, I’ve found something I haven’t felt in a long time: peace. For the first time in a long time, I feel more at ease with my decisions than I ever did during the intense grind of the last five years. Those years were filled with hustle, ideas, pushing, pulling, overthinking, trying—and sometimes failing—to make everything happen all at once. It’s been exhausting, and the pressure I placed on myself was constant and loud. But this week? My mind feels lighter. My chest isn’t tight with anxiety. There’s a softness in how I speak to myself. I no longer feel like I’m behind, racing, or missing out. I’ve accepted that change is okay. Redirection is divine. Starting over is still progress. And this new direction I’m choosing feels r...
