“It demands that you stop shrinking just to feel safe, that you stop performing invisibility because visibility feels too vulnerable, that you stop settling in the valley because the climb feels too steep”. 🫶🏽🙌🏾💥
This piece came at the right time-quietly, like wheels touching down through low clouds. Grateful for the work you placed in my soul.
"The risk, the exposure, the pain of being visible and possibly being rejected. The vulnerability of showing our work before it’s perfect, sharing our voice before we’re certain it matters, stepping into spaces where we might not belong."
This is a timely and powerful message. As a new Black indie author I find myself in an uncomfortable space. You have encouraged me and I will be saving this to reread later when I feel like being invisible.
