My Girl Midori Amae had me out here telling all about myself, and I couldn’t be more grateful :)
Interview: Pray & Slay Life
Host: Midori Amae
Guest: Mukasichibweta
P.A.S Pillar: Peace
Topic: “Creative Spirituality”
The connection is REAL, and it comes with vulnerability, and a bit of true tea lol. Modelling saved my life. I found myself, by challenging myself. The Mukasichibweta I’ve found is someone I remember, a childhood reverie. That Womxn is more familiar to me know than ever before. I remember my childhood dream, before life replaced it with obligation, responsibility, and everything else Men want. I’ve been helping others do the same in my own way, as a part of my healing, as part of learning life. I’m excited to share more of that story. Thank you @midoriamae for being a friend that not only listens, but also builds. You’re a real one ❤️
