"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." — Eleanor Roosevelt Don't let fear talk you out of what your heart keeps calling you to do. Keep dreaming. Keep building. Your work matters. 🫶

Every artist you admire once created something they never released. Not every song, design, idea, or project is meant for the world. Sometimes the work you never share is the work that prepares you for what comes next. Keep learning. Keep creating. Every project has a purpose. 😉

I’m turning in a redo of Week 1 of my 30-day challenge, titled The Perspective Project After submitting what I thought was Day 16, I got clarity from @Tiffany Gaines in last nights live (thank you so much, Coach 🙏) and decided to redo the entire week. I shifted the focus from dumping my own experiences to creating something that could help someone else reach the ideology of holding both truths at the same time thru self reflection because Clarity isn’t found by choosing one side, it’s found by learning to hold both 🫂🧘‍♀️🎭 Week One is NOTICE 👀 I worked NON-STOP on this since last night and I’m MUCH happier with where it landed 🙏 As always, comments, feedback, and critiques are very welcome 😆💕‼️ Thank you again, Tiffany, for the guidance. I’m forever grateful to be growing in this space with all of you 🫂💕🙏🙌☺️‼️💕

Hey everyone, I'm sharing a song that I wrote and performed a few years back. I've always had a hard time identifying my sound...stuck in between Alternative Gospel and Neo-Soul Gospel (this is the direction I want to go in, but don't know if my vocals are there yet). Anyway, I attached the lyrics and hope it speaks... Compass - By Melodie Shekia In the middle of the night You open up your eyes You open up your eyes In the middle of the day Somebody made a way Somebody made a way It musta been you, Father It musta been your Son Still interceding ‘til the break of dawn When I don’t know what to do You’re my compass in the night When I’m losing my way You are my light It musta been you, Father It musta been your Son Still interceding ‘til the break of dawn In the middle of the night You open up your eyes You open up your eyes In the middle of the day Somebody made a way Somebody made a way Even though I never talk about it The white elephant in my soul You already know enough about The white elephant in my... It musta been you, Father It musta been your Son Still interceding ‘til the break of dawn When I don’t know what to do You’re my compass in the night When I’m losing my way You are my light It musta been you, Father It musta been your Son Still interceding ‘til the break of dawn When I look back over my life I know it was You all the time Before I wake up You have ordered my footsteps Before I get up When I don’t know what to do You’re my compass in the night When I’m losing my way You are my light It musta been you, Father It musta been your Son Still interceding ‘til the break of dawn

For Day 17 Release assignment, we were asked to choose a song that best reflects the theme we're working on. I chose my artist Ny'Aira's song, "Unbreakable," because its message of resilience, healing, and moving forward really connects with what we've been exploring this week. I had the opportunity to co-write this song with one of my international songwriting collaborators, and I also developed the creative concept, script, and treatment for the music video. Being involved in the project from the songwriting through the visual storytelling made it especially meaningful to me. To me, Unbreakable is a reminder that even after life's hardest moments, whether it's heartbreak, loss, disappointment, or difficult relationships, you can still find the strength to rise, rebuild, and keep moving forward. That's why I felt it was the perfect song to represent this week's theme. https://youtu.be/3btbBTh0veE?si=O74QfBrGCLh9E38M -What I'm Choosing Instead
