You Don’t Want Success — You Want Peace So You Feel Safe and Free

Many Black women are realizing they don’t want to just survive—they want to feel safe, free, and truly at peace. We're chasing success because that’s what society tells us to want. But deep down, what we truly need is peace — so we can finally feel safe, free, and in control of our lives.

More of us are choosing to step away from constant struggle and embracing lives that prioritize ease, joy, and self-preservation.

In this video, I share why I chose to leave survival mode behind, how life abroad has supported my soft life journey, and why safety, freedom, and peace are worth pursuing—without apology.

If you’ve been feeling the weight of survival and yearning for something more, this conversation is for you. Let’s talk about what’s really possible when you choose yourself first.
