Hey y’all! 🌈 It’s Pride Month and we’re diving deep into our roots with our new guided meditation, “Pride Through Time: Q***r & Trans Ancestral Meditation.” This journey isn’t just about the here and now - it’s about the courage, resilience, and wisdom of our q***r and trans ancestors.

Witness their strength, affirm their humanity, and embrace the blessings they share with us. Because we’re not an agenda, we’re a legacy. We’re as old as breath itself.

This Pride Month, let’s journey together. Join us on Buzzsprout (https://www.buzzsprout.com/2174758/12957613-pride-through-time-q***r-trans-ancestral-meditation.mp3),

I’ll choose me over love everytime. Love that comes at the expense of who I am is much too expensive for me.

Or whatever elphaba said on defying gravity!!

Owning the role I played in certain disrespects I’ve endured in my life has been transformative for me.

There were moments where I recognized it was time for a relationship to end, for me to leave a job, or to communicating with someone. Whether it was the anxious attachment style I had or a lifetime of ignoring my intuition, I allowed certain folks in my space well after my body told me it was time for them or me to go!

In recognizing that it’s allowing me to show them grace for that. I knew better than to have certain folks around me for longer than they was supposed to me.

I learned so much in my early 20s and I’m ready to apply it in this second half.

There’s power in letting go the moment your body tells you to. ❤️

There’s POWER in owning your choices. It feels good to not just be a person that things happen to. To know that even if in small wads I’m contributing to the development of my life. For good or for bad.

It takes a lot of strength and courage to navigate through difficult times, and it's important to recognize and celebrate the progress you're making. Healing isn't a linear journey, and it's okay to have setbacks or days where you don't feel quite as optimistic. But as long as you keep moving forward, even if it's just one small step at a time, you're on the right path.

Now that you're feeling more like yourself again, can you sense your creativity percolating? Moments of inspiration displace brain fog, and it can feel like such a relief. What are you excited to explore and create? Maybe it's a new hobby, a business idea, or an artistic project that's been brewing in your mind. Whatever it is, don't be afraid to go for it. You have unique talents and gifts that the world needs, and there's no better time than now to share them.

Welcome back to the world of inspiration, dear one. You are a force to be reckoned with, and we can't wait to see all the amazing things you'll accomplish.

Send a 💙 if you are ready!

My body is so holy and annointed. Thank you ancestors for praying me into existence. Thank you God for bringing their prayers into reality. ‬

Hall believes that those seeking therapy should consult with others in the community.

“Take your time, consult with community, and just be gentle with yourself. Be compassionate as you search. And if you end up with the wrong person, be compassionate, and heal from that, and try to search again or not,” she elaborates.

She continued, “the most important thing with people's therapy journey is that it has to be your own. You have to figure out what works for you and figure out what type of therapist won't be triggering for you, the type of person that you're most comfortable with, and even what types of therapy that you're actually seeking, because there's so many different types.”

Mental health challenges for Black trans and gender nonconforming people are often a symptom of another greater, systemic issue that plagues our community.

We’re in such a bad position when religious folks are spending their time rebuking art and symbolism in music and NOt the people that invoke God’s name to systemically harm and oppress another people.

Is what Ron DeSantis doing for Florida not
Demonic? Are his plans the cut Medicare and Medicaid leaving our most vulnerable even more vulnerable not demonic?
