This week drained me 😔

We had elections too in South Africa and the results... blue like in America, but that's not a good thing here. Apartheid might be coming back guys 😭

On the more positive side, I'm almost done with my latest long-form video. Hopefully, it will be up by the end of the week.

Finally this makeup look - my go-to everyday makeup. Perfect for work, meetings, or running errands. If you want to look put-together effortlessly, this is the makeup look. It's already up on my shorts, I did it a few weeks ago but never shared the pictures 📸

I just love warm tones on my skin. Just look at the material 😍

Anyways, I know I've been gone on long form videos, but that's because I'm working on a video that literally took a week to shoot after having to push out the recording 7 days.

But I'm super excited to put it out soon and chat with you guys about how religion is holding Africa back and how we can reclaim our identities.

As always, I will be sharing the tutorial on this makeup look in my shorts during the coming days. See you there 😘

Soft but striking 💜

I love me some purple eyeshadow. I'll be posting on shorts and breaking down this look from my eyeshadow, base routine, and lip combo.

Let me know if there's any makeup content you would love to see from me.

In 2011, I lost a loved one who refused a blood transfusion. She was just 16 years old.

To lose someone knowing that they could have received life-saving medical care but chose not to because of people's interpretation of a Bible verse and threats of being excommunicated if they did - that is a pain I sadly know all too well.

I'm sending my deepest love to all who have lost loved ones in this manner. I know how heartbreaking and hurtful these 'updates' are because they can't bring back those we have lost.

And if anyone is still wondering or on the fence about leaving a destructive cult. May this be your reminder to know that it's okay to leave and choose yourself. ❤️

There is no video this week guys but a new video will be up on Tuesday 🤎✨️

I'll be honest, I've been so overwhelmed with work lately, but I'm mot complaining because what a blessing it is to be busy with the life you prayed for.

This week we'll be chatting about navigating estrangement from family. Thank you to everyone who voted on the last pole.

Check out my shorts during the week for this make up look. I love how soft and girlie my makeup came out.

I hope you're doing well and see you on Tuesday ✨️🤎

Episode 3 is out! 🤎✨️

Growing up as a Jehovah’s Witness, most of us never planned for the future. We didn't care about an education or financial freedom. We were programmed to prioritize the religion.

When you leave... you quickly realize how intentional this programming was and how it holds you back from having agency over your life.

Don't be fooled: Education is essential. Financial independence is essential. Your freedom is essential.

In today's video, I unpack how exJWs can kickstart or rebuild their career after leaving a cult at any age.

You can watch the video here: https://youtu.be/TUbcIaxK01s?si=4mLr7...

Let us know what has helped you reclaim your life and build a career or business in the comments 😉

Unlearning modesty and purity culture is something all women need to unlearn.

Once you understand its true purpose in how high control religions use these ideologies to control, regulate and oppress you - you start to see the bigger picture of religion and its true purpose.

Let's chat about it!
