Rule Number One: Always Speak YOUR Truth.

In this world, if there is something that I hope you remember to do---it’s to speak your truth. Only you know what you have experienced and what issues are troubling your spirit. Many times it can be hard to express how you’re feeling. ​We often placate our emotions in order to make others comfortable. In order to make the silence commodious for others,  we suffer beneath our own skin. Our mouths crawling with words never said because we let our tongues lay like lead.

Do not let anyone else decide that your ideas, thoughts, and emotions are not valid. If you cannot express yourself freely with someone without them trying to dismiss you or becoming defensive, they aren’t prepared to receive this information. That is okay. All words are not meant for all ears. Please just remember, that their misunderstanding and ignorance does not negate your truth.


When you cannot speak your truth, write it.
When you cannot speak your truth, draw it.
When you cannot speak your truth, paint it.
When you cannot speak your truth, sculpt it.
When you cannot speak your truth, sing it.
When you cannot speak your truth, rap it.
When you cannot speak your truth, choreograph it.

Remember, never allow anyone to cage your voice, because they do not agree with you. Your words hold meaning, your thoughts provide insight, and your ideas can start revolutions.
