“UM So I’m putting out new music!!! 🥳🙃🥹 It’s been a long time coming but I’m finally putting things out because I know they are meant to be heard! I’m tired of making excuses as to why I’m not “ready.” Because tbh- there’s no such thing. “Not enough” has dictated the way I share my art for as long as I can remember- finances, skill, preparedness, exposure.. you name it. And I know these are narratives that have prevented me from feeling the abundance and nourishment that come with sharing these little pieces of my soul with the world. “
