I crafted this project to serve as both an offering and a reminder to prioritize love. In a world overwhelmed by pain, genuine love has become a rarity—a precious entity that many seek, watch, or compromise on. It entails accepting oneself and acknowledging, redefining love that is truly deserving. Determining what is worthy should stem from learning, unlearning, peace, and growth. Therefore, let love radiate today and every day, naturally brightening any space. 🌹🚀✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ Creative Direction/ Styling/ Writing & Voice Over: Me Videography/ Editing by: @jeprioleau Music Produced by: @felixtheforager Co-director/ BTS: @koyooku Make up by: @abrawrr Photography/ Shoot Assist: @jarellmique Wearing: @ganni

Good morning from Guatemala ☀️Blessed Black History Month to all my angels, comrades, and parallel souls. Lastly, #happyworldhijabday to all my fellow Muslim women working to do our best to please our merciful lord Allah. May he accept all of our efforts. This new year, yes it just started today- I am challenging myself to step outside of my comfort zone with my creative ventures. I don’t like to be the camera operator or edit long-form videos but I did it. I wanted to create a piece that serves as an offering, a reminder to myself to remind you. So I pray it resonates with you. That it opens up your heart to what you know and inspires you to be more intentional about your breathing. To share and remind a friend. Let me know how my words and imagery sit with you in the comments or my dms 🩵🫀 blessed month and new year my beauties. May Allah guide and transform only to what is best for us 🤲🏾♾️ Creative Direction, MUA, Styling, Videography, Editing, Writing, Voice over by ME. 🥰 Allahuma Barik x Music ft. by @kuro.tamtam ___________________________________________________ #poetry #shortfilm #meditation #breathe #blackhistory #blackhistorymonth #eyesonsudan #freepalestine #freecongo #liberationforall #fashionfilm #selftaught #selftalk #narrative #art #voice #blackmuslims

✨ NOW LIVE!!! Full Video in BIO!! My latest film, Winged Wonder, is here! This project is a tribute to visionaries, those who dim their light, and anyone on a journey of self-discovery. It’s a heartfelt ode to never giving up on yourself and finding the brilliance within—because you are truly immaculate. This film has been a labor of love from start to finish. With @riededervaydp legendary cinematography, @bradv_dp masterful lighting, @eliamanismail’s stunning venue, @midovsmido soul-stirring sound, and wearing @pipencolorena one-of-a-kind garments, this creation would not have been possible without this incredible team.

✨MY @rollingstoneaus DEBUT IS HERE!! 🥳✨ I’m beyond honored to share my first article for Rolling Stone where I had the privilege of amplifying the incredible musician @kaiit_isshe —a fellow Indigenous woman whose artistry speaks volumes. This wasn’t just about identity (though it matters deeply); it was about celebrating her craft, her voice, and the unapologetic brilliance she brings to the world. Living in Oceania has taught me so much and this full circle moment means everything thing to me!!! 🦋🦋✨Alhumdillah x infinity always- thank you @conornoconnor for making this happen @itspoppyreid Special thanks you to @carlpires & @heryteteferytequame for all your support & motivation 😭 ❤️ ITS UP & STUCK 🚀✨✨✨❤️💋❤️🌹🌹🌹Lil Mama universe 👄🫦🫀

Radiance is within you. Live in it. Love in it. Expand in it. You are growing. Water yourself. Love yourself. Grow yourself. You are not tethered to anyone but God. You are you and that is everything. You are magic. 🌹 📸: by @amiracle.nyc ☀️💫

Alhamdulillah always 💋💎🦋✨
