2021: Not at ALL how I IMAGINED. I experienced the GREATEST LOSS of my life thus FAR and did a laundry list of the HARDEST things I’ve EVER had to do. And YET, I am STILL STANDING. Standing on a MOUNTAIN of GRATITUDE with all of the EYES and HEARTS of my FAMILY and CHOSEN family surrounding me. 🧡 Psalm 30:5 says “WEEPING may endure for the NIGHT BUT JOY cometh in the MORNING”. I’m sure I will be weeping for quite some time but I am CHOOSING ALL the JOY in 2022. ✨ • • • #twentytwentytwo

Dear Ma, THANK YOU. Thank you for GIVING me LIFE. For LOVING me. For TOUGH LOVE. For helping me to EXPRESS what I FEEL. For making VULNERABILITY WELCOME in our home. For saying my TEARS were ok. Thank you for showing me what a STRONG WOMAN looks like. For TEACHING me to LOVE MYSELF FIRST before needing the love of another. For BELIEVING in me when I didn’t know how to believe in MYSELF. For showing me my WORTH. Thank you for letting me know I am the GREATEST being to walk the EARTH at the same time letting me know I am NOT the GREATEST being to WALK the Earth. Thank you for teaching me to LEAN ON GOD in GOOD times and in BAD. In this moment, I’m LEANING ON GOD like never before because THIS is the HARDEST thing I’ve ever had to do. It’s NOT goodbye because I FEEL YOU more than ever before… So, as you said to ME time and time again… I NOW say to YOU… Take WINGS and FLY…. I love you🧡
If you can’t FEEL my JOY jumping OUT of the screen and INTO your DAY, I don’t know WHAT to tell you…. • • • #joy #bestie #arealone #twins

I can’t STOP THINKING about a question my friend @bencaroncreates asked in his NEWSLETTER, which was… If 2021 was a chapter in the BOOK of your LIFE what would it be TITLED. I think mine would be: “A STRENGTH UNKNOWN” Tell me YOURS BELOW… (Thanks Ben🧡) All REAL, deep, WITTY and ridiculous ANSWERS are welcome. • • • #deepthoughts #questionoftheday #lifeisablur #2021recap #blackgirlmagic✨
First thing I saw on Instagram this A.M. was a post from @iamsonmusic with the words AS ONLY YOU CAN. He used as an invite for a writing prompt so…. @iamsonmusic , thanks for the inspo…. #songwriting #firstreel #maybelastreel #asonlyyoucan #worship
Dear @michaelkiwanuka You may never SEE this but if you don’t my HOPE is that you can FEEL my GRATITUDE. I wanted to THANK you for your MUSIC. your POWER. your LYRICS and your FREEDOM. Your music has MOVED me to my CORE since the day I heard first heard it. THANK you for being YOU. Also FORGIVE me, as I messed up a few lyrics, I was a little nervous. Love and gratitude, Kamilah • • • 🎶: ANY DAY WILL DO FINE 📽:@iamtrenation #michaelkiwanuka #covertune #anydaywilldofine
