I'm Just Me.

I've always been someone who sees the glass half full — naturally optimistic, always learning, always growing. But don't get it wrong, I've been through it. Heavy stuff. Physically, mentally, spiritually. The kind of weight that doesn't just sit on your body — it sits on your soul.

I've been bigger my whole life. And with that came bullying, isolation, being treated differently — sometimes on purpose, sometimes not. People don't always realize how much that shapes you. I built tough skin over the years, but underneath that, I was struggling. I developed a bad eating disorder, had self-harming thoughts, and even a few attempts. Dark days. Real ones.

But somehow, my way of seeing things kept pulling me back. And so did my people. I've been blessed with ride-or-die friendships — 10+ years deep. People who literally saved my life. God put solid humans by my side when i was in need and I don't take that lightly.

Then came the turning point. My doctor told me that if I didn't make changes, I might not have that my liveable years. That hit different. So I started fighting — chair workouts, eating better, winning some days, losing others. I raised money with the helps of friends and family , lost 40 pounds just to qualify, and got gastric sleeve surgery. Recovery was brutal — weeks of clear liquids, then purée, then slowly rebuilding. But while my body was changing faster than my brain could keep up, I went deep inward. I started asking the real questions. Why am I like this? Why do I do this? That's when the real healing began.

I learned to drive. I traveled to Mexico for ceremonies that helped me shed my old self and step into who I was becoming. My connection with myself deepened. My confidence grew. My spirituality awakened.

Now I'm on a journey of growth, healing, and abundance — with a new mindset and a full heart. My inner child is the captain of this ship. Creative, carefree, loving. And the adult in me? He's just here to regulate the impulses and keep us on course.

I can see darkness. I've felt it. But I choose light— not because it's easy, but because I know what the alternative looks like, and I want no part of it. I want to be loving. I want to be kind. I want to create things that mean something. My journey with art started as a kid — my parents showed me the basics, simple drawings like houses with suns in the corners and grass. But I took it further. If I can see it in my mind's eye, I can create it. Some skills need polishing, but I've learned that I can turn my ideas into reality. After high school, I stopped creating. My mental and physical health weren't okay. For years, I put art aside. But then a special friend — also an artist — reignited that spark in me. They reminded me what it felt like to draw, to paint, to sculpt, to let my creations run wild. Combined with my healing journey, that flame is roaring now. God gave me this gift: the ability to see something in my mind and bring it to life. This is my outlet to expand and grow. Every piece I create is part of that journey — a reflection of where I've been and where I'm going. That's what Sacred Rebel Arts is. It's not just a brand. It's my story, my healing, my universe — poured into every design, every piece, every stitch. Thanks for being here. It means more than you know. 🖤
