There’s a quote by Audre Lorde that I turn to again and again.
When I’m feeling depleted or discouraged, when I feel the need to dim my creative light and make it more palatable to others, when I’m filled with fear that I might never become the person I aspire to be, I remember these words:
When I dare to be powerful — to use my strength in the service of my vision — then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.
As the sun sets on the last week of March, may you, too, dare to be powerful, dear artist.
That just leveled me. 🙏🏼
