The Truth I Had to Tell (Even While Shaking)

One of the most dangerous myths we’re taught is that resilience is always a virtue.

And Sistahs, I need you to hear this clearly: sometimes resilience doesn’t protect us.

Sometimes, it keeps us staying too long, quietly adapting to what’s harmful, unsafe, and not okay. 

In this video, I talk about truth-telling as a form of reclamation: coming home to what you already know is true for you, and refusing to keep editing yourself for other people’s comfort or approval.

That can sound like:
• “No, I’m not too sensitive. I’m done normalizing dysfunction and calling it safe.”
• “Yes, I’m strong, but I’m no longer available to be unsupported and applauded for surviving it.”
• “My flexibility is not permission to overstep my boundaries.”

I’ve said some of these things with my heart racing… but I said them anyway.

If your gut is telling you something is wrong and you don’t yet have the words, I hope this video helps you find them.

It’ll help you put language to what you already know, and turn that knowing into a boundary you can stand on.
