It happened on the bridge outside my apartment, late evening approaching in the sky and a little smoke curling from my lips like a ritual. Just a couple of hits for inspiration, enough to slow time and stretch it like warm honey. I wasn’t looking to escape, I was excavating. I was waiting for the that first divine nudge to reveal itself. And then, it did.

Right between shadow and sunlight, that’s where I met the version of me that decided to shine.

A Bridge, A Breath, A Beginning

A montage flickering behind my eyelids. Snapshots of life lately, messy, magical, too fast and too full. But then, clarity: I am most alive, most me when I am bringing people together, when stories are shared like food and laughter becomes a kind of communion. That is my joy. That is when I feel home.

So in that smokey, sacred moment, I made the decision.

I decided to be a ray of fucking sunshine.

Because light doesn’t ask for permission, it becomes

The Decision to Shine

Not the kind that blinds you with performance. The kind that kisses your skin at 7AM through sheer curtains. The kind that says, “You can be soft and still shine.” The kind that glows with intention, and needs no explanation. Inviting, nourishing, sensual and whole.

Why This Blog Exists

This blog “for the vibes” is my temple of belonging curated not for perfection, but for presence. Its where black femininity meets slow living, where self discovery isn’t a checklist but a dance. This is where intention storytelling holds your hand and says “you’re not alone”.

I want this to be a soft landing. A long exhale. A place that wraps around you like a warm blanket fresh from the dryer. That smells something slow cooked with love. That sounds like bass and heavy beats floating out of a cracked window, Rihanna, Coco Jones, 6lack. Welcome home to silk robes over bare skin and a full bodied red wine on your tongue. I want it to feel like a hug you didn’t know you needed until it lingered.

No need to rush your glow up bestie, no mask and no need to shrink. Bring your stories, your softness and your scared mess. This light is yours too! Its for sharing, fir basking and overall for becoming.
