Merna

My birthday prayer is that you all see how beautiful you truly are, that you serve your body, allow yourself to feel, that you trust your knowing, that you give & recieve freely - especially when you feel the strain of scarcity, that you pray for the rest of us unconditionally, that your health remain your wealth, that ease becomes your standard, that you unequivocally protect this peace, that you may be moved to sing and dance, share congratulations and build community.
May you be empowered to want to know yourself deeply, that you may courageously unpack what no longer serves you, and that you may experience the greatest love of all. Remember. Remember. Remember. 🤲🏽 The universe is always working in your favor. If you cannot see it, try to change your perspective. Vision is the ultimate gift and reward. Much love.

The worst thing you can be is a liar and the biggest threat to any leadership/society/company will be from the inside: when the people change their mind about who you are.

Navigating a minefield as an artist of conscience is a constant. Good news is we are working or rather God is working through us. Blessed to be surrounded by the best. More soon. 🫶🏽

It’s been three months since I released my album, Ours To Keep! Now the SHORT FILM to take you deeper into the journey! Mark your calendar & join us for an online premiere December 12. 🎬✨🥰

I cannot wait for you to experience this!
Big love and gratitude to the absolute BEST who helped bring this to life. You guys are magic!
