i gave myself permission to be on my own timeline

i gave myself permission to be on my own timeline — to share my journey in my own time — to rediscover/uncover/re-member my joy, my power, my curiosity.

mine mine mine.

lisssen, you can hear reassurance and support from outside of yourself all you want but you have to give yourself permission or else you’re forever on someone else’s timeline.

“The psyches and souls of women also have their own cycles and seasons of doing and solitude, running and staying, being involved and being removed, questing and resting, creating and incubating, being of the world and returning to the soul-place.” ― Clarissa Pinkola Estés

been a looooong fucking time since i’ve felt the

been a looooong fucking time since i’ve felt the urge to come here to share myself

(no, that’s a lie, i feel the urge daily, but honestly have been rolling thru a myriad of emotions — tearing up as i write this, shit — including but not limited to anxiety, fear, imposter syndrome, apathy, i could go on)

but today, i am here. just here. showing up, in spite of all the movies i’ve been replaying that always give the best excuses to fade to black until there’s something i can talk about other than this feeling of paralysis. and even with all of the great things going on, i’m like, “is that even good enough to share? does anyone care? i’ve been gone too long. does this negate all of the things/songs/quotes/sentiments of being strong & powerful?”

i am here. je suis ici. yo soy aquí.

today.

and i’ll try again tomorrow, cause i don’t wanna feel ruled by the things that are holding me back.

thanks for sticking around, being patient. i deeply appreciate you.

🖤

👑 L E G A C Y🧬🩸 Last night, @heritagetor

👑 L E G A C Y🧬🩸

Last night, @heritagetoronto unveiled two plaques to commemorate the ground breaking, forward thinking, community building one of a kind restaurant, 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗱 𝗧𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗹 𝗙𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁 envisioned and brought to life by co-owners & co-conspirators
Howard Matthews (my Daddy), Archie Alleyne (my Uncle), Dave Mann & John Henry Jackson.

I’m still overcome with emotion, processing what all of us, the children of the Underground, were present to witness and accept on behalf of our fathers. The Four Musketeers.

What these men created and how they impacted diversifying Toronto’s culinary landscape in 1969, while also creating a space to celebrate, uplift, educate, and bring people people together to give reverence to our ancestors who made journey to Canada, is truly like no other restaurant experience I’ve ever had. The Underground was more than a restaurant, it was a meeting place for music, the arts, politics, community, healing, honouring, remembering, celebrating, family, roots, discovery and on and on and on.

There has never been a place like this in this city — and nothing ever since.

💐💐💐💐
To Howard, Archie, Dave & John Henry — we give thanks.
👑👑👑👑
Asé Asé Asé Asé

Warriors, Howlers & Fools — I feel like I forgot

Warriors, Howlers & Fools — I feel like I forgot to mention about the newest single, 𝙁𝘼𝙈𝙊𝙐𝙎, from my @polarismusicprize 🫣🥹😜 @thejunoawards nominated album, 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗙𝗢𝗢𝗟🪄🃏

YOU are the majick that you seek.
YOU are the wand to wield, to make your majick.
YOU already have all the gatdamn tools you need to make…you know, the mf majick.
YOU are the magician.
YOU, are majick, period.

⚡️⚡️ THE ONYX EXPERIENCE ⚡️⚡️

I’m so excited about sharing this film, because it’s a space that we created to celebrate us, for us by us. It’s a space that was created to acknowledge our existence in a space that tends to deem us invisible or convince us + the world that there’s “only one”. This is just the beginning of materializing a dream made up of many late night conversations over many years that @davidclickcox and I have been having. The film is just the start. We’ve got so much more in store.
