018. BLOOMING PUBLICLY🪷𓂀 So much gratitude & the receipts to prove 🧾✨Swipe right to see black joy! 🤎🌱 I am eternally grateful for the support my baby T.C.O.C is receiving. 🥹🫂 I can feel all the virtual love coming through. And with that being said. If I gotta be honest.... I’ve been feeling weary and bogged down these few days because of the constant psychological and physical war outside. It’s almost like people are numb to it. “The show must go on...” if you will. But that doesn’t feel authentic either. 🫠 I keep reminding myself that peace, freedom, and joy are my birthright so I’ve been finding ways to stay centered, finding ways to stay focused, and stay intentional without detaching. I decided to take a moment to celebrate myself, rest, pray, meditate, have the important conversations, keep my joy a priority ,and practice Wu-Wei because my story is important and it deserves to be told. I invite you to do so the same if you feel me. (and I hope you do) 💌 So here is some of the fruits of my labor, working twice as hard, with my village, to birth this vision. You deserve to shine even when it’s darkest. Sending love and gratitude, -V 𓉢 Photographer - @amberaisha Make up - @widnystudios Hair - @lyndseybee
