Through a soul-stirring ancestral montage, we witness how sound becomes spirit, memory becomes fire, and music becomes a portal.

“I thought I was a girl’s girl—until I realized I had chosen someone else’s pain over my own peace. This is the beginning of my awakening.”

“I mistook his gaze for glory.
Thought being chosen made me worthy.
But love that costs your peace is not a prize.
Now I choose the mirror over the pedestal,
the truth over the tale,
and the sisterhood I once forgot
over the silence I once kept.
This time, I choose me—loudly, softly, sacredly.
I choose me.”

In this post, I share how what others called “grace” sometimes felt more like grooming. By deconstructing those harmful teachings, I reclaim my spiritual agency and embrace a soulful journey toward self-love. Join me as we kick off the Self-Love Out Loud series and find our divine voices beyond harmful conditioning.

In Part 2 of “They Called It Grace, But I Call It Grooming,” I go deeper into the silent codes of control, church culture, and the cost of shrinking ourselves to survive. This post is a call to reclaim your voice, your boundaries, and your spiritual truth—because obedience should never cost you your wholeness.
