I took a long time off social media. In that time, I connected to myself and others. Literal generational curses were broken, connections were made, self development occurred, and life progressed in so many unexpected ways.

Slowing down and not depending on dopamine from the internet is so important — that’s from a creator perspective and consumer perspective.

I’d like to encourage you to expand your offline habits and pleasures. Am I saying go an entire year offline like I did in 2025? I mean hey, if you’d like to, do it. My main point is disconnecting from the digital space in unhealthy ways in order to gain proper perspectives of life.

Professionally, I wrote a 60+ page essay and research paper about my spiritual journey connecting to my paternal ancestors. I prayed and meditated for truth and was given direct answers and recognition. All I wanted was the truth, but the recognition came from God, a force I had no control over. You can read the summary and blog description on , and there will also be a book available soon about my ancestor veneration journey on my website marineflowblog . com .

Connecting spirituality to literary and academic spaces is something I’m very passionate about. With an essay series, poem, and book soon to be published, there are so many ways to share my story in order to inspire others to get back connected with themselves. I’m all for living in nature and living a life not controlled by forces undesired, but I understand balance. Sometimes the battle itself is living a bit uncomfortable until you get in position to get where you want to be. You have to listen and be guided, and that’s why solitude and quiet are so important.

If you’d like to stay connected offline, I have a snail mail club that I’m starting. We’ll be discussing topics like these and more, like art, fashion, and sustainability. is for intellectuals who appreciate the feminine and choose to engage with that collective. If you’d like to join, slots will open soon! for to win at a slower life. A more intentional life. Peace. Asé. Shalawam 🤞🏽

“Better Than Reparations” essay found on my website marineflowblog . com

Ancestral healing & connecting with God leads you to the goals you never imagined. Abba is our ancestor, therefore, connecting to those before us leads us directly to The Most High. Passed on loved ones reveal truths for us to understand for the present and future by bringing proper clarity to the past. Shining light on the past and accepting the truth while holding accountability is how to excel forward in all areas.
