Every time I think I love myself and I’ve arrived somewhere spiritually, there so much more work to do. So much wounded inner child to tend to. Loving other people can be such a mirror to your deepest needs and flaws

A lot of us are in a time of great transition right now. It’s uncomfortable but leading to something more powerful ahead .. practice self compassion 🌞
505
need for control and lack of self love interferes with the natural flow of love
506
I really feel like my ancestors and literal light particles in the universe are looking out for me and nudging me in certain directions at all times ... even when things are painful and feel hopeless
507
sometimes ripping off the bandaid and facing the scariest possible outcome may actually be the most liberating and powerful shit that you needed to do all along🥺
508
A big reason I got into directing all my my music videos was because I was tired of being sexualized through the male and/or white gaze ... My sexuality is for myself and I want to be the one in charge of portraying that vision of myself !
509
Normalize men in the music industry not expecting sexual or romantic gratification from every female artist they work with ( Especially WOC .. we are sexualized and disrespected like crazy) ... We are tired of it and know exactly what we’re worth
510
gentle reminder that the root of all love starts with self love, so speak kindly to yourself today 🌞

REMINDER THAT TOMORROW, JULY 7TH, IS ECONOMIC BLACK OUT DAY

has anyone else been crying A LOT lately . Must be the moon
515
this society really tries to places roles and narratives on us from the day we’re born and I feel like the rest of your life you’re hopefully just unlearning, expanding, awakening so you can get closer to the unbridled and expansive beam of light that is your essence

so much of my conditioning as a brown woman was to be subservient , to be endlessly giving and forgiving , to doubt myself, to make myself small, to let violence towards my body idly happen , to Be kind and docile always . WHYYYYY THOUGH
517
I have so much to read and learn. so much more softening, listening, & deeper tapping into universal consciousness . it’s beautiful !!!

I love surrounding myself with people who make me realize all the ways I still have to grow, to love myself more, to be more giving and patient with my time and energy. and the love is so beautiful that you want to put in that work to be better
521
fame culture is wild toxic and inherently flawed
522
one big thing men struggle with in real life and online is knowing when to be quiet and let women speak, and actively listening when they do 💁🏽♀️ and also being aware that our socialization and communication styles are entirely different and don’t always look like yours
523
Wow the trauma blocked this part of the memory out but he also asked me if I was “sure it wasn’t just a crazy night out” ....... the gaslighting oh my god
524
When I went to the police to report my sexual assault it looked like this: He scolded me for underage drinking (I was drugged), told me I had no case and that I shouldn’t even bother pursuing it, & then hit on me and gave me his number. Condescending, cold, misogynistic.

I can’t stop thinking about your story, Oluwatoyin. You deserved so much better. Black women deserve so much better. Your abuser tried to silence u from speaking out on your assault, so we must keep saying your name and keep fighting for you. Rest in Power Oluwatoyin Salau 😔
My album, Asha's Awakening, is out now 🌈
