Last night’s women’s group, we held space for how family shifts, honored loss, the hard parts, and reaching for hope. 🌞
It made me think of my parents—love wrapped in complexity. Tom & Viv’s effort to create love and magic.
Even in the messiness, we found moments of beauty. 💛🤎

What happens when your ancestry holds both the crown 👑 and the chain? 🤎
Mine does. 63 % African, 36 % European, 1 % Native=100 % truth. I wrote about the house and field, and claiming it.

There’s so much noise right now—politics, pressure, pain. What gives you hope these days, even in small ways?
