I am the Goddess.

I’ve written poetry for as long as I can remember. I had my first poem published in a literary magazine in middle school. This was also the time when I first fell in love with female rappers…as I became a woman, I saw them as women who stood fiercely in their power. Unafraid to stand apart, boldly stating their intentions, wants, needs, and desires, without fear of shame, retribution, or social stigma. They weren’t afraid to show the f**** up. And in that medium, I began to appreciate the power of the raw, unfiltered, unadulterated female voice.

In high school, I began writing my own raps…but it would be years before I let anyone hear them. I sat in the background supporting friends, boyfriends, comrades, everyone else as they went into the studio, released music, and expressed themselves. While I stayed silent. Fearful, doubtful, terrified to be seen. Until I wasn’t.

In 2017, I entered the studio for the first time. It was the most invigorating, freeing, soul satiating experience I’d ever had. I felt free. I had given wings to my true gift - the ability to take words and literally breathe life into them, empowering and inspiring myself and those who listened. Reflecting back, that was truly a divine era as I was also experiencing a major spiritual awakening at the same time…

In 2020, I released my first EP, Something II Say. But, something was awry. I was feeling very alone and unsupported in my journey, and to continue in the music world without a team behind me felt impossible. In addition, as I had delved deeper into my spiritual path, I felt that I had to hide those parts of me.

As I felt called up to be a spiritual leader, I deluded myself into the belief that all pieces of me were not welcome in that arena . I felt the “love and light” pressure of perfectionism. It didn’t feel okay to be a woman who cursed, who owned her power, who advocated for herself fiercely and didn’t allow herself to be walked over. And so, I banished my dark feminine down into the basement of my inner self. I told myself I didn’t need her, and I locked her away…

Until 2024…a 7 year for me in numerology…and a year of profound shifts as I got back to the true core of who I am. Ultimately, I stopped giving a f**k what others thought of me and knew I could no longer hide integral parts of who I am. With the encouragement of friends who knew my gift, I knew it was time to reveal all parts of me, unapologetically. I decided to release anything that made me feel inadequate, and I stepped fully into my identity. This has been a year of full embodiment, with the understanding that only through whole person embodiment can we truly integrate all of our light and all of our darkness to step into our full power.

So basically, Slyyy Fox is back, bitches!
