Women should periodically revisit the things they once believed were beyond their reach. Some desires were abandoned under circumstances that no longer exist. You may have more room to want them now.

the older you get, the more you realize luck is mostly exposure, if you sit in the same place, have the same routine, talk to the same person, nothing new really happens, you have to engage the world to win, travel more. talk to people.

There comes a time when you have to stop negotiating with your own excuses. If it matters to you, make room for it. If you need to learn something, start learning. If you need to try again, try again. Let your actions match your intentions.

I love women who decided their life was going to be beautiful and then just went and made it that way.

A prayer for anyone breaking generational or personal cycles: May you have the strength to choose differently, even when the old ways feel familiar. May you find support and wisdom, and remember that progress never requires perfection.

You have to move through life knowing you are somebody extraordinary, while also remembering that you are a nobody who knows nothing. The highest levels of consciousness can hold both truths simultaneously.

I want more women to experience the freedom of saying, ‘I’ve always wanted to do this’ and then actually making it happen. Not because someone offered to pay, but because they worked toward it themselves. That quiet pride hits different.

I don’t know how many Dr.Roy Sesana images I have saved today on my phone! A fighter to the bone. And to have companions in your journey, to be accompanied. Oh! At some point, DGB accompanied him and The First People. What a day, what a moment.

Not to sound delusional, but please pray for grace. Life isn't really about hard work. It's more about alignment, meeting the right people, grace, mercy, and favour.

I love women who have developed a philosophy of living. You can see it in their homes, their relationships, their appearance, their schedules, their standards… Every choice seems to belong to the same woman.

I think ancestral healing becomes incomplete when all we ever look for is the trauma. Somebody in your bloodline knew how to laugh until they cried, someone fell wildly in love, somebody grew things, sang loudly, cooked beautifully, flirted, danced, dreamed- that survived too!

You know what welcomes you to the National Museum right now? This @GabsBookFest festival board. We forgot to take it out in August post festival. Property owners have left it as well. And we also just left it this afternoon when we walked out of Mass and saw it. #Arebaleng

A Friday shout out to the curators of the Gabz Book Festival. @kfphele @ke_phele le @PheleKat 🥹 plus the entire crew! The festival was a bomb! Loved every bit even though I missed the other parts. The images, rhythms and words still echo in the space! Too too nice ...

I saw someone say the best thing you can do for yourself is to actively increase your surface area for luck to hit you. Go outside, travel more,go to new cafes, take a new route home, go to more 222 events. You can literally just do things, and the more you do, the more serendipity and synchronicity will find you."I've been thinking about that every day since.

Your relationship with yourself cannot be built entirely around improvement. At some point, you have to become someone you are allowed to enjoy being. You get to be proud of who you are. Present tense.
