love notes from keesh

Dear Black woman, I love you. I love you because you simply are.

Please normalize acknowledging, honoring, and cherishing your worth for simply being. Your worth will never be dependent upon what you accomplish nor the level of resiliency you exude in the face of adversity. You are not a disposable martyr for any cause.

It is “normal” to want to escape from and/or distract ourselves from the pain that has and does plague us on a daily basis, however, the only way to truly heal and live the abundant life you deserve to live is to your trigger(s).

I hope this poem encourages you to allow yourself to be seen, fully. Even with all the chaos and pain happening to and around us all daily, I hope you learn to take some intentional time for yourself. You are enough just as you are; own your greatness.

You are not a burden; you are worthy and you are lovable. Your worth is not contingent upon overworking yourself and never asking for help. Own your vulnerability and transparency; they are your superpowers.

What if I told you the answers to all your impeding questions in life are already in your possession? 

If you're new to my art and/or content: Hello my name is LaKeshia, but I am more affectionately known as Keesh and welcome to this safe space curated especially for a beautiful soul like you.

Today, I want to take a moment and send a love note of inspiration to all my fellow creatives, entrepreneurs, and artists. Unless you have been under a rock, I'm sure you've heard that Netflix’s global hit, Stranger Things Season 4, Vol. 1, returned to our individual big screens on May 27th after a three year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Fans from across the globe reunited with our favorite Hawkins gang and as a day one fan, I was completely blown away by this new season and I am eagerly awaiting Vol. 2's release on July 1st!
