How many women before me were able to stand in their power unapologetically?
Or how many were cognizant of their magical gifts, their power, but were not able to express it out of fear of being persecuted or reviled?
I pay homage to my matriline by being the free and fluid woman my loving ancestors would dream to be. I am a woman who is rooted in her power and fearlessly stands true in it. I don’t shy away from my gifts; my curious and wild feminine nature stops at nothing to continue digging deeper and deeper.

Being both soft and strong is a combination very few have mastered.
— from Little Weirds, Jenny Slate
My body needs it—the hot baths, the care, the soft water, the perfume, the warmth. I take on the colors of the flowers, the bloom, the delicacy. It becomes me.
