🔥 Creation & Self-Belief

  • I was not made to wait for permission. I was born to build.

  • My vision was planted in me—not in them. That’s why they don’t understand it.

  • Every brick I lay carries my ancestors’ prayers. Every foundation I pour honors their labor.

  • I do not shrink because others misinterpret my light. I keep creating, because my purpose is sacred.

  • The work of my hands is divine. It is not a threat—it is a testimony.

🖤 Rejection & Resilience

  • Being hated for building is proof that I am building something real.

  • I bless those who misunderstand me, but I refuse to make myself smaller to be liked.

  • Their disbelief cannot undo my destiny. Their silence cannot erase my song.

  • I will not let bitterness take root where my purpose grows.

  • I do not build to impress. I build to heal, to honor, to liberate.

You’re not here to dim your calling so others can stay comfortable.
You’re here to build, bloom, and blaze—with grace and conviction.


@adivunsolicited it appears that the right wing Republicans are upset that black people have historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) because they lack a fundamental education and understand that their grandparents were the ones that systematically segregated and discriminated against us. this is by design and one of the reasons America doesn’t teach real history in the schools #blacktiktok #hbcu #usa ♬ original sound – Adivunsolicited
