There’s a certain energy a woman carries when she knows who she is. She’s not loud about it. She doesn’t need to be. And most people will never get close enough to understand it. 🔗 open.substack.com/pub/goddesscon…

To hold extreme light, you have to carry just as much darkness. The two exist together. Real power comes from knowing how to hold both without letting either consume you.

I speak with conviction because I mean well, always, and what I say stands.

What you did when you didn’t know better doesn’t count, unless you kept doing it after you knew better. That’s what life is: learning, correcting, evolving. Holding people to their past when they’ve done the work to grow is crazy and shows no depth.

I get paid to exist, because the value I add to the world is irreplaceable, and many will never tread the path I’ve taken to get here.

Women are meant to work from creation, not survival. When you’re only working to survive, you disconnect from your feminine power, and over time, it drains your essence. That’s why so many feel exhausted. It’s not the work, it’s the misalignment.

Sex work and modeling for the male gaze are the same thing. I modeled for a living, and no woman wants to do it long-term once she realizes how much it drains her. Everyone’s doing what they need to survive. What you choose is your business, don’t lie to self.

I remember years ago saying I never wanted to work a 9-5, chase a career, or be a “girl boss” and people called me lazy. Looking back, I’m glad I stood on that. I’m living the life I always wanted, on my terms. And I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

No sensible woman is going to stand beside a weak man who lacks morals & character. And if she does, she’s equally as weak.

The thing is, most men are insecure about things most women don’t even care about. When a man lacks confidence, it makes a woman feel unsafe. A man could be broke and still be valuable, because it’s not money that makes you valuable, it’s who you are.

It’s honestly sad that men and women can’t get along. But from what I’ve seen, it’s men who’ve dropped the ball, especially Black men. And they hate to hear it. The truth is, Black women want Black men…but the women are tired of begging y’all to show up.

The more I discover myself, the more I detach from the material world.

I don’t understand how people wear shoes inside their house.

Tonight’s a good night for a ritual.

The things I have to share. Whew.

suffering only exists in the illusion.

I don’t care what sex workers try to convince you of, most women don’t truly want to sell their bodies to survive. A lot of them lie to themselves just to get through it. Survival isn’t empowerment. And deep down, most don’t want that to be their reality.
