I hate that everything is so pressurized.

I hate that I don’t get to work with folks because the decisions and wastefulness of people you and I don’t even know stretches us so much.

I hate the inequality. The unconscious biases. The conditioning that limits, holds hostage, that oppresses.

I want you to feel free. Inspired. Purposeful. Calm. Angry. Aligned. YOU.

If you’ve been thinking, dreaming or hoping there’d be a way we can walk together — maybe this is it.

Use COSTOFLIVING30 when you book for 30% to come off all services.

And you don’t even have to use the booking system, you can just reach out to me and we can arrange it all via message. No problems.

Online sessions, with *some* availability for face to face.

And if the 30% off means it’s still is out of your grasp right now, still reach out. We’ll make it work.

Community care matters.
Love ya.

It’s not easy moving against the grain.⁣
⁣
To be the change-maker
pattern-breaker
or socially conscious voice,
can be painful and lonely.⁣
⁣
It heals, but it also ruptures.

It sends ripples through our lives —⁣
our relationships,
identity,
our sense of belonging —⁣
in ways we don’t anticipate
and can’t avoid.⁣
⁣
Even when your heart knows it’s true,
when you can see
how the dominant narrative⁣
is driving us off a cliff,
living and thinking differently
comes at a cost.⁣
⁣
Those who stay true,
who refuse the status quo,
and keep reaching for more honest,
inclusive ways of being,
are my people.⁣
⁣
𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝘆 𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗲.⁣
⁣
You are who I’m here to serve,
to work with,
to cheerlead,
to walk alongside.⁣
⁣
What do I bring?⁣
⁣
I see multiple layers at once.⁣

My vision is nuanced and steady.⁣
⁣
I can hold my gaze in the dark,
without losing sight of where
the light is coming from.⁣
⁣
My skills⁣ —
some cultivated,
some I suspect I arrived with⁣,
create a place
where you get to be fully seen.⁣
⁣
No performing.⁣
No masking.⁣
No pretence.⁣
⁣
Just you — ⁣
all your layers,
all the mess,
fu***ng it up
and also absolutely bossing it.⁣
⁣
This is a space of both respite and momentum.⁣
⁣
A place to clear the muck
and step forward with more clarity,
inner connection, and certainty.⁣
⁣
When the time calls for it —
I’m here to walk with you.⁣
⁣

I had a (mighty privileged) wave of grief today. 🌙

A short, honest piece about crying for the life I used to have — and how those moments of grief might just be creating space for real connection.

WORKSHOP ANNOUNCEMENT 📣 📣

Legends… the ‘Paste to be Heard’ workshop is now a free event!

No tickets, no cost — we just want you there with us, making art that matters.

What you’ll end up with is an artwork (A4 sized) that has pictures and words on it. You can frame it, put it in your scrapbook, or whatever you like afterwards!

We’ll make a copy of it, and that copy will be pasted up on Hosier Lane on March 8th as part of action on International Women’s Day.

When: Friday 27th Feb 6-8pm (arrive 5:30 onwards so we can have a solid 2 hours of active creating).

Where: Gallery Unbound, 497 High Street, Northcote

We’ll provide snacks, just bring anything you’d like to drink.

If you’re going to join us, just send a message so we know to expect you, and how many to set up for.

Making this change feels like a liberation, and we are so happy to welcome you in and support your voice making itself known via the scissors, glue and paper!

(OMG. So excited!) 🤩

Any questions, reach out.

In love, creativity, and fierce feminism —

Angela & Aliesha 💥🌸💥

REMINDER:

You don’t have to identity as an artist, or as someone who is ‘political’ — we’ll support and guide the creativity and the message you want to express.

You being part of this action is what matters. ♥️
