Time will remain and so will you if you don’t put your mind, body, and soul to use. Take the time to sit with what’s being asked of you. Pull out and pen and paper to understand yourself.. to release emotions. There is so much more I wanted to ask, but for now I still need to find the answers to those questions.

If you would like a question asked or answered. Please email it to alluresletters@17xxii.art

I hope to keep all answers and questions anonymous. You can also find the questions up on my website at https://17xxii.art after clicking the “I AM” button on the home page.

I struggled through my 20s trying to even feel the ground. My head was lost in the clouds. I was blinded by the destruction of today’s humanity. Over time there have been moments that lead up to me planting a seed. To stay in my frequency. The way I see it, life lead me one place and I began to guide myself back home. When I started defining what that really is. The more I became vocal and accepted all that has been happening for me. An idea.. concept.. vision has been sprouted. This podcast may not necessarily be tangible but it is evidence of my becoming. My tree growing,

Life forced me to take steps back. The painting of myself that I was creating looked nothing like me. For awhile I tried to figure out where I went wrong. How did I end up here? So, I went back to the beginning.. to the root of it all. There’s this phrase that I dislike that people tend to use. “People don’t change”. All that statement really tells me is that whoever uses this statement isn’t willing to evolve. Yes, parts of who we are may never change. However, our purpose is to evolve. It’s just the matter of whether or not we have the right resources and surroundings to do so. Yet, I was able to do that through being silenced, which ultimately connected me to my voice. This first episode helps set the tone.. the baseline of where I am choosing to start of at. I hope it leaves room for me to venture off into discussions to help expand our intelligence. As I continue to evolve with my podcast.. with all of you. Maybe we can align our love to wish and create a better tomorrow.

Thank you to IG: @alexandriaa.nicole_ ( https://instagram.com/alexandriaa.nicole_/ )for allowing me to start this series off with a beat she created. I heard it and immediately knew it will help set the tone. As the podcast evolves I cannot wait to see how her skill evolves.
