DIVINE FEMININE • a vocal and visual tribute to my mother & grandmother 🌹

What started off as a few lyrics resting on my heart, evolved into an entire exploration of my feminine lineage. My mother, previously a dancer, and my grandmother, previously a longshoreman, both had tremendous influence in my life.

Although in my younger years I was inundated with shame and embarrassment due to my mother’s line of work, I have come to realize as an adult that she is the blueprint for how I maneuver through the world today.

She performed in the darkness on club stages so that I could perform on the world stage and shine my light.

I have always believed that forgiveness was the key to healing, but recently I have discovered that the true key is gratitude. We liberate ourselves when we accept, alchemize and integrate our shadow rather than suppressing it.

Though my mother channeled her creative and sexual energy in a way that society deems unacceptable, she is still the prototype that made it possible for me to do what I do. And for this, I give thanks.

I dedicate this to all of the strong women, no matter what that looks like; regardless of if it meets patriarchal standards or not. You are unconditionally loved, cherished and valued.
