Late Love
Verse One I've spent too many night with the wrong ones Giving pieces of my heart away Believing love was something I had to earn Praying someone would finally choose to stay I learned the hard way what love wasn't Through every goodbye and every scar But somehow all those broken roads Were leading me right where you are

Blessed and Broken
Take what you are missing Take what I can’t name Leave me something holy Or something mildly profane You liked my hands when they held you steady

Toxic Doll
It takes real resilience to keep creating and putting your art into the world when someone is viciously trying to dim your light. I have no intention of stopping. I will keep on writing, working on my music, making videos, and refining my craft through every bit of the noise because I'm dedicated and unstoppable.

BONES DON'T LIE
BONES DON’T LIE A Pathway Worker’s Song Intro Yesterday I wrote something that came from a deep place, a place shaped by the world I grew up in, and the world I chose instead. This piece is about extremism, autonomy, migration, ancestry, and the human road. It’s about refusing to go backward, even when the culture around us tries to drag us there. The photos included are the quiet moments that inspired it, pauses, breaths, shifts.
