Faith Elizabeth Instagram – I’m kinda still struggling to find the words… 😓
To authentically share my Cannes experience- with honesty & integrity… is proving incredibly challenging….
I honestly had some of my biggest highs, meeting & supporting so many incredible women through my amazing #shesquad & hosting our first ever womens Villa with @luminofilmsofficial ❤️ partnering with @yesshecannes
It was tough, but oh so worth it for what we achieved together Jane 🙏🏼✨
The amazing workshop with @designessentialsuk who not only have an amazing company, but who spoke love & light & strength into my life 🥹 forever grateful for you incredible humans. 🙌🏼
But Cannes also brought some of my most painful times. 💔
Months of blood, sweat & tears poured into a project I cared so deeply about. 🙏🏼
Some collaborators were so amazing to work with.
But I was also working with some people who weren’t fully aligned…. 😓
Being ignored, devalued, overworked, under appreciated & downright disrespected.
I’m still struggling with what to say, with how to say it & even with processing my pain over it.
I’m shocked, pained & genuinely heartbroken.
Being minimised, even erased from a narrative, something I conceptualised, created & poured so much love & soul into.
It’s hard to even say it now… when so many don’t know even a tiny amount of what has occurred beneath the surface.
The visuals have been managed.
The truth eroded.
I’m fearful of a toxic backlash.
Visually most people will believe everything was amazing & have no idea of what exists underneath the surface.
But I am nothing, if not honest.
I’m not ready to share this pain fully- yet. Someday I will.
But right now I leave one thought- look at someone’s actions, listen to their words, observe the true hearts & minds beneath a carefully curated narrative.
I ignored many warning signs and found myself broken 💔
Don’t follow my same mistakes 🙏🏼✨
