Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo was an owl it included a sacred geometric backdrop. I’d went through a journey of intense PTSD symptoms over the course of 2years and through that I learned to manage it as well as lessons on self care and how to say NO and Stop to people and experiences that were not reflecting my kind open heart. in big transitional moments in my life I see Owls on my walks and I know it’s rare so I got that tattooed as a reminder to stand on my wisdom, have reverence w/health

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

I am the keeper of sacred love, forged in resilience. I carry community in my bones, wisdom in my gaze, and strength in every scar. I have learned to say no without guilt and stop without fear. I walk with purpose, protected by symbols of unity, truth, and transformation. I am sacred, seen, and standing tall in the power of who I’ve become.

What would you do with the $25,000?

after surviving being shot and having breast cancer I’d invest in healing—therapy, setting seeds and growth. I’d strengthen my business, clear debt, and build a safety net to finally breathe. I’d nourish my spirit with travel in sacred space. I’d fund a project rooted in community, love, and resilience—my true values. This money wouldn’t just fix things—it’d free me to stand fully in my power, tell my story, and live without shrinking. Check
