My post went viral. And then the trolls arrived.
They didn’t just come for my art, culture and career. They came for the way I looked. The way I presented myself. Things that had nothing to do with what I was sharing - and everything to do with trying to make me small.
And I won’t lie - some of it landed. Because we’re human. Words can find the cracks even when you’re trying to be strong.
But then something else happened. 528 likes. My colleagues, my family, my friends,my community - all showing up. All standing behind me. The support was more than I could have imagined.
Here’s what going viral actually taught me: the people who matter will always show up louder.
And the trolls? They told me more about themselves than they ever could about me. ✨
If the noise is getting loud - protect your peace. Step away. You are allowed to put yourself first.
