Dawn Robinson & Raphael Saadiq (of Lucy Pearl) at their music video set for “Dance Tonight” (2000).
My babies going to have gold chains and bracelets with their names like we did in the 90s.
I believe in the kind of love that doesn’t demand me to prove my worth and sit in anxiety.
a natural connection, where my soul is able to recognize a feeling of home in another. something that allows me to be me without question.
Two things I always do:
pray for divine protection for myself and the people I encounter every day and show gratitude because shit could always be worse.

🥂 To being affluent, successful, happy, and stressfree women. Nothing is out of reach unless you declare it to be. Set intentions for your life next year and follow through to become the best version of you possible. No blocking our blessings, no talking ourselves out of them because we’re scared, no saying no to things we actually need to do. We’re meant to be more than what we are today, but we can only get there by taking leaps. No risk, no reward. 🥂
Be with the person who understands that love isn’t just a feeling, it’s an action. The person whose smile is enough to tell you how much you mean to them, and how, no matter what happens, their feelings for you will never falter
