This photo was taken recently.

I want to tell you what it actually took to get here.

I didn’t have a safe childhood. I didn’t have parents who could show up for me. I had no foundation, no safety net, no one coming.

So I became my own.

I started working at 13. Built something from nothing. And for years I still made choices that reflected what I believed I was worth — which wasn’t much. It took a long time and a lot of painful work to understand I deserved more.

I know why I crave safety now. And I know why I’ll never stop building it.

A life I created entirely on my own terms.

I’ve learned to fiercely cherish the friends who genuinely show up for me — and to let go, without guilt, of the ones who don’t. That’s not coldness. That’s self respect. When you grow up without people in your corner, you stop accepting it as normal.

Your past is not your sentence.

Struggle is fuel. That’s not a motivational quote, it’s how I’m still here.

If you’re in it right now, I see you. The wrong relationship. The wrong life. The grief that won’t shift. The childhood you’re still quietly carrying. Whatever it is.

It can change. All of it. You are not shackled to where you are.

Keep going. 🖤

What are you building from the hard stuff? 👇

It’s been one week since our screening at BFI Flare and we don’t think we’ll ever be over it!!! Getting to watch our film with over 450 people in the room was honestly so surreal, the laughter, the reactions, the energy… We truly felt every single second of it. We had the greatest time, though of course we really missed our Amara @danimoseley 🥹

It meant so much to share something so personal in a space filled with so much love and support. Definitely a day we’ll NEVER forget ♥️😍♥️
