For the past few months, I’ve had the honor of being a caretaker for my Uncle Derrick—a true father figure to me—as he bravely battled stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Yesterday, we laid him to rest. Needless to say, this has been one of the most challenging seasons of my life. Yet, if I had to do it all over again, I would, with the same family by my side. It was truly an honor to serve such an honorable man. I love you forever, Uncle Bobby. 🕊️💜

I’ll be honest—I’m so confused as to why so many people are being diagnosed with and battling cancer. If your loved one—or if you yourself—are in that fight, PLEASE KEEP FIGHTING. We have to get through this together. I’m praying and rooting for you and your loved ones every step of the way. And to those grieving the loss of someone who has already transitioned, please know you have my deepest condolences. 💐

Because of this, there will be no newsletter today. I simply wanted to share my heart with this community and thank you for your continued love, prayers, and support during this time.

When discussing the pursuit of goals, being still is rarely—if ever—on the list of ways to obtain them. Most of us believe that in order to get what we want or envision, it requires 100% of our participation and exhausting 16 out of 24 hours in a day. But according to this week’s multi-talented feature, Daishanna, being still is actually where the magic happens. The well-versed creative leader and visionary shares her recent revelations about what it means to be still and how it has brought her greater clarity.

She even recalls a childhood memory of her mom saying, “Be still, girl,” while she squirmed anxiously in the chair getting her hair done. Back then, those three words may have felt like suppression to young Daishanna, but as she grew older, those same three words are helping her to become grounded and grow in all of her endeavors

For some of us, I think what makes adulting feel so ghetto is the level of responsibility that gets delegated and transferred without discussion. And I’m not just talking about the to-do list—I mean the mental, emotional, and spiritual management required to execute without completely falling apart.

Maybe that’s why, once upon a time, the trailblazing sound architect Myke Soun ran away from responsibility. In this Season 2 premiere episode, he shares his heart and his renewed perception of what it truly means to stop running and do the inner work. Needless to say, he’s greatly benefited from his decision to do so. Yet so many people don’t realize they have the same liberty to do the same. Hopefully, after listening to this 10-minute episode, that changes.

Who wants to hear another Black girl rant about how she isn’t being loved properly or seen with dignity and respect? I guess the better question is: how many more Black women have yet to tell their truth—their story? I’m sure there are many. But one woman we can’t say that about is the poet, the writer, the entertainer herself—Saint Sin—who expresses the sentiments of a Black woman’s journey through love and pain so significantly.

She often emphasizes the magnitude of a woman’s presence and how she should be tended to with care and intention. Honestly, this “women deserve all the love” campaign only makes sense, considering that she refers to herself as a garden… a creation that creates—as most of us are. Insinuating that women often reciprocate what’s planted into the soil of their lives. There’s no doubt in my mind that this is why she advocates for the melanated female group the way that she does. And I can’t wait for you all to hear the poem she’s created to tell the story.

"I barely got time for the things I want. I barely got time for the things I need. I only got time for the things that I’m ‘sposed to."

Those were the words that struck my heart when I first heard the underrated classic “Here We Go Again” by Carolina’s superstar, JB Samson. If you have a heart, I’m sure those lyrics will strike you too—because most of us live in a cycle of life we don’t enjoy or can’t seem to get a grip on. But all hope is not lost. What if the beauty is in the redundancy? In the fact that you know what’s going to happen next—and that very knowing reassures you to take the next step. Where you can make a clear decision and say, might as well do something worthwhile, like today’s feature. And that something worthwhile just might be the breakthrough you need.

I had just begun a crazy momentum before I left for Dreamville in my own little world. I went to the festival in hopes that I would continue it by volunteering or working at an event that already had mass momentum, but honestly the momentum I was creating at home was just as special. I was already attracting my dreams. Sure I may have to contribute from time to time, but I no longer have to force it.

I wasn't supposed to be there. It was the last performance of the two-day Dreamville Festival, and I stood off in a corner amongst 52,000 other attendees with tears in my eyes watching two of my favorite artists: Erykah Badu and J. Cole.

Sure, you could say these were tears of gratitude, but as my eyes began to flood, the only thing I could say to myself was, “This can’t be my life.” Yes, I was able to catch the once-in-a-lifetime moment of them performing “Too Deep for the Intro,” but what it took for me to get inside those walls was a persistence I’m not even sure was supposed to be activated.

So how did you actually get in, Mikeya? That’s a damn good question. In this week's episode, you’ll find out exactly how it happened—and a few revelations that brought me a lot of peace. One of them being that I no longer have to chase my dreams.
