Growing up, my choices were often predetermined, especially when it came to choosing a career. Despite the expectation to pursue a conventional path like becoming a doctor, lawyer, or engineer, I opted for aviation, thinking it was unconventional. However, I later realized I had inadvertently chosen a high-status job that pleased my parents.
Upon moving to the U.S., I discovered a newfound freedom to make my own choices. Despite enjoying this independence, I found myself trapped in the high-stress field of aviation, a job I wasn’t passionate about, driven by the fear of failure.
Instead of giving myself the space to explore my true passions, I convinced myself that I couldn’t afford the time to figure out my life, fearing I would “fall behind the curve” whatever that means!?
Then, my dad’s health declined, and the toll of my career began affecting my mental well-being. I reached a breaking point and had to initiate changes.
Discovering a spiritual mentor, I gained awareness of the imbalance in my life. Through exercises and mind-body connections, she helped me realize that life extended beyond my job.
Following my dad’s passing, profound grief shattered me to my core. It unearthed emotions and memories I had long suppressed, forcing me to confront and navigate them. I embraced honesty with myself and learned to prioritize rest and downtime for survival.
My dad’s death underscored life’s fleeting nature.
It illuminated the importance of being present in the moment, chasing your passion, and prioritizing self-care.
I began drowning out the noise through meditation and mindful movement, realizing that many women of color were facing similar struggles. We have more to offer beyond society’s expectations. None of us had to navigate this unconventional journey alone.
That’s why I created Same Skin.
I envisioned a space for us to share our non-achievements. As women and women of color, the hustle is real—we work twice as hard to go just as far. But where are the spaces supporting our hustle? How can we integrate all that life offers? I wanted a brave, safe space for open discussions about life’s full spectrum, from the heaviest pains to the lightest joys, embracing accomplishments and failures. A space for our mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Through my journey, I’ve discovered that your people are out there; you just need to reconnect with your story, attracting your bigger soul family in the process.
If this resonates please say HI! I would love to hear from YOU. You can also follow my personal journey @bombay2brooklyn where I document my life in NYC.
