This rising, I experienced something undeniable—a clarity that cut through the noise. I listened to a panel of powerful women who weren’t just talking solutions—they were the solutions. And in that moment, I realized something that’s been whispering to me for years:
There is a loop—a spiritual, emotional, and systemic cycle—designed to keep women, especially Black women, stuck. Stuck performing. Stuck overgiving. Stuck being available to everything but our own expansion.
And here’s the wild part: men benefit when we stay in that loop.
🔴 They benefit when we’re tired.
🔴 They benefit when we’re distracted.
🔴 They benefit when we think we need them to define our worth, value, or destiny.
But what happens when a woman says:
“No more.”
What happens when she limits access to her energy—not out of pain, but out of power?
The Liberation in Limiting Access
Too often, we mistake visibility for freedom. We think showing up in every room, being everything to everyone, and being seen by a man equals success. But true liberation starts in the invisible—in the quiet choice to pull our energy back and redirect it inward.
When women, especially Black women, choose to withdraw from over-functioning, from codependent connections, from trying to prove we’re “worthy”—we begin to see clearly. That’s when the system gets shaky.
Why? Because we are the system.
✨ We are the engine.
✨ We are the architects.
✨ We are the law.
Radical Thought is Sacred Work
To even entertain a different way of living—one not centered around men, trauma, or societal approval—is radical. And rare.
But we need more women entertaining the idea that:
✨ You don’t have to earn rest.
✨ You don’t have to be palatable to be powerful.
✨ You don’t have to wait for permission to lead.
✨ You can write new laws—not just live under the old ones.
It takes audacity to shift from “surviving” to “self-authoring.” It takes imagination to design a world rooted in our needs, our healing, our rhythms.
That’s the kind of radical thought that births real change.
We Are the Blueprint
Everything around us is a remix of what women, especially Melanated women, created. And yet we’ve been taught to outsource our power, our decisions, our very thoughts. That ends now.
Let this post be an invitation—and a provocation.
If you're a woman who feels like you've been looping—emotionally, spiritually, in relationships, in work—ask yourself:
✨ What am I giving my energy to that no longer gives back?
✨ What truth have I been afraid to think?
✨ Who benefits from me staying small?
And then: choose differently.
Audacity Is the Assignment
We’ve written laws before. We’ve led revolutions before.
Now is the time to do it again—but this time for ourselves first.
This time, we write the blueprint with:
✨ Our rest at the center
✨ Our joy as the foundation
✨ Our spiritual authority guiding every step
We are not here to just inspire conversation.
We are here to shift the culture.
Let’s stop rehearsing empowerment and start embodying evolution.
