Day One - From 'Deon' to 'Deonsha' to 'Dominic'
Good evening, guys!😌First: let me say that I take COMPLETE responsibility for my results✨As I'm taking advantage of TODAY {March 1; a BRAND NEW MONTH} to keep myself accountable in Transforming my Trajectory.. I'd like to share a DEEPER scope of my journey to Sovereignty: With a last-minute name change post-birth, Dominic was born Deonsha Sanders. From the very beginning, Deonsha was never encouraged, never given permission to just be. I was raised in a world where my truth was always too much, too loud, too raw to fit in. So, I built walls. I created versions of myself that would keep me safe in a world that couldn’t see me. Deon emerged as the first defense. He was strong, tough—someone who could endure the weight of the world without showing the cracks beneath. But Deon wasn’t me either. Then, for 19 years, I wandered between versions of myself, seeking a sense of purpose I couldn't find. Until, one day, I thought I had found it. I thought I had finally found the real me in Deonsha. I believed that by embracing this bold, fearless version of myself—one who lived without apology—I could finally be seen, understood, loved. But what I didn’t realize was that in my search for validation, I was running straight into my own demise. The Deonsha I built wasn’t grounded in truth. It was built on a fragile foundation of escape and illusion. And when life got too overwhelming, when the pain of not belonging and not knowing who I truly was became too much to bear, I turned to methamphetamine. It wasn’t just a way to numb the pain—it became a way to feel something, anything, when everything inside felt empty. At first, it was like I found an answer. The drug gave me this false sense of clarity, a connection I believed was spiritual. I thought it was unlocking some hidden wisdom within me, some higher state of consciousness. For the first time in my life, I felt connected—not to people, but to something bigger, something that made me feel alive. It was a high that fed my ego, made me feel as though I was transcending my human limitations, that I was no longer just Deonsha—I was something greater.
