This mixtape started as a series of poems, melodies, and memories scribbled in a journal. The pieces of conversations on this project are moments of clarity visited over years of conversations with organizers, family, lovers, and friends who would openly challenge me.
Then I’d challenge my pen. I challenged what I’ve been accepting. I decided what needs to change.
I started being intentional in growing and demanding more. I allowed myself to think beyond limitations I’d learned and reevaluate as much as I could. New possibilities open up. New realities. New dreams.
This is the music that poured out after years of fighting for my own freedom in so many areas of life. It started the process that would become an open invitation for others to look around, look inward, and do the same.
Is this tune starting to sound familiar?
