    Dec 8 2025


    ​Are you tired of shrinking your light just to fit someone else's shadow?

    ​In this powerful segment of The Poetic Lift, we introduce "The Unbothered Walk"—a definitive guide to claiming your space and silencing the noise. We explore how to maintain your self-worth when others try to tear you down, and why your unique style is non-negotiable. Learn to stand firm in your conviction, recognizing that other people's judgment is a reflection of their own internal struggles, not your value.

  • Take Up Space
    Dec 8 2025


    “Take Up Space” is a love letter to the ones who were judged for dancing through life, talked down to, underestimated, or made to feel too loud, too bold, too emotional, too ambitious. This piece rises from scars, toxic words, and quiet rooms where confidence was stolen — and turns them into fuel. It’s resilience in rhythm, healing through honesty, and a declaration that shrinking is over. You are allowed to shine without permission.”
