What a week. Amidst the police brutality happening in the US - the same thing has certainly happened here in SA. I’m not here for a long story or an impassioned plea. Pull tf up or get out of the way. Donate, share resources, and examine who is in your circle acting like this isn’t important. Grateful to work at a platform/space where I can share my politics and craft a voice on social that 100% authentic. Using that big bek and backchatting for good 😂♥️Happy to see my mutuals around the world doing the work across the board. (Image via @hello_dongwon)

Its been a week filled with high emotions (joy, disappointment and sadness to name a few). I hope you’re taking the weekend to rest, reflect and take time out. Being online is necessary at times but not when it’s detrimental to your own health.

This was six years ago. I had just moved to Cape Town, with no clue as to what I was gonna do and how I was going to survive. The first job was a bust but the second one gave me friends for the life. The third taught me so much (period!) that I still use today. And the fourth (yikes!! Iykyk). And now I work alongside people who trust my instincts and believe in my work. A lot can happen in a couple of years, but I still play (old) Kanye when I win though.

Thank you to everyone who messaged me about the @beautymepodcast episode! Thank you for listening and a huge thank you to Charisse for chatting to me. Such a fun moment I’m always down to do these in future 😂♥️

My episode is up on @beautymepodcast! I was lucky enough to chat to my friend/collaborator @charisse.kenion about life under lockdown and also just beauty things. The pod is avail on Spotify/iTunes etc 🙏🏽💃🏽

I wrote about common misconceptions in astrology for @alltheprettybirdsofficial! Let me know what you think x
