🎒 WE STILL NEED YOUR SUPPORT 🎒
The Spirit of Hope Backpack Initiative is more than just school supplies—it’s about reminding children in our communities that they are SEEN, LOVED, and NEVER ALONE.

As we prepare to distribute these backpacks full of love, hope, and encouragement to children in underserved areas, we are calling on you—our village, our community, our heroes—to help us reach the finish line.

🦋 Every donation brings us closer to putting a smile on a child’s face.
🦋 Every dollar is a seed planted in the soil of possibility.
🦋 Every backpack is a lifeline to self-worth, purpose, and hope.

We still have work to do. And we can’t do it without you.

🙏 Please support our GoFundMe today. Share. Donate. Spread the word. Be a Hero for Hope and make this school year one our kids will never forget.

🧠🗳️ “How Do You Love Someone Who Voted Against Your Humanity?”

Good day, beautiful people.

Let’s talk about a quiet ache many are carrying—the tension and heartbreak of loving family members who continue to vote for Trump or others who push policies that harm the collective soul of this nation. This isn’t just about politics. This is about pain. It’s about living at the dinner table with someone who voted against your marriage, your bodily autonomy, your rights, your Blackness, your q***rness, your womanhood, your children’s future.

People vote out of fear.
Out of the pulpits of manipulated religion.
Out of bruised male egos and nostalgia for “simpler times” that were brutal for so many.
They vote because they’re angry that statues came down, that pronouns expanded, that power shifted, even slightly.

But behind these votes are policies—policies that gut healthcare, roll back civil rights, ignore climate catastrophe, and treat vulnerable people as disposable. That isn’t about “America first.” That’s about humanity last.

The mental health toll is real.
We are grieving in silence.
Grieving the versions of family we thought we had.
Grieving the loss of safety in our own homes and communities.

So how do we cope?
How do we keep loving, showing up, and modeling something better?

💥 We challenge what we can control.
We speak truth. We hold boundaries. We stop minimizing the impact.
We refuse to normalize harm dressed up as “just a difference of opinion.”

🌱 And we cling to hope—not the soft kind, but the gritty, resilient kind.
Hope that demands we do better.
Hope that models something different for the next generation—empathy over ego, unity over tribalism, humanity over hatred.

Let your hope be fierce. Let it be loud. Let it be unapologetically rooted in love for all people.

Because the question is no longer who you voted for.
The question is what are you modeling?

The world is watching. Our children are watching.
Be the ancestor they’ll be proud of.

🗽💥The Big, Beautiful Bill💥🗽

Good day, Beautiful People —

As fireworks light the sky this 4th of July, let’s pause and talk about the Big, Beautiful Bill — not just the one signed into law, but the cost of freedom, the price of survival, and the receipts America keeps avoiding.

We celebrate independence, but are we free?

Free from fear?
Free from debt?
Free from generational trauma?
Free from the weight of racism, poverty, injustice, or the mental exhaustion that never makes the headlines?

The bill is heavy. And for too many Americans — especially Black, brown, q***r, poor, and marginalized communities — the interest never stopped accumulating.

Every time someone can’t afford therapy…
Every time a child learns to go numb before they learn to read…
Every time someone dies from a treatable illness because healthcare is a luxury…

That’s the real bill.

Today, let’s not just wave flags. Let’s check in on one another.
How are you really doing?

Mental health is freedom work too.

So light the skies. Dance in joy. But also—remember those still fighting to feel free inside their own minds. Freedom must include healing.

❤️‍🔥Freedom isn’t just a celebration—it’s a commitment.
A commitment to take care of one another, to face the truth, and to pay what’s owed in love, equity, and care.

Wishing you peace, power, and a moment to breathe today.

One love,
Moe Grace
🦋 Hope. Healing. Home.

🦋 Message from Drago & HoverThe Million Dollar Question: What Do You Believe? 🦋It’s never just a question.It’s a setup.A subtle demand for conformity wrapped in fake concern.“What do you believe?”Translation: Will you be who we expect you to be, or will you risk rejection to live your truth?People inherit expectations the same way they inherit eye color and last names.Passed down like tradition.“Be strong.”“Don’t speak out.”“Stay in your lane.”You weren’t raised to choose yourself—you were trained to uphold someone else’s legacy of silence, shame, and survival.And when you grow beyond that?When you dare to question it all—you’re seen as disloyal, difficult, or “too much.”They say you’ve changed,but what they really mean is:You’re no longer willing to carry the weight of their unrealistic expectations.Some will try to chain you to the same rules they were forced to follow.But heredity is not destiny.You can break cycles without betraying your roots.You can honor where you came from without becoming stuck there.So again:What do you believe—when the life they planned for you doesn’t fit the person you’re becoming?Do you shrink back to keep their comfort intact?Or do you rise anyway?You don’t owe anyone a smaller version of yourself.Their expectations aren’t your reality.Their past isn’t your prison.You are not here to repeat the patterns.You’re here to rewrite the story.– Drago & Hover💙🦋 You may have inherited the weight—but you get to choose what you carry forward.

Good day, people—Some wounds we carry like a ball and chain.Dragging the weight of old pain, old stories… until it slowly dismantles who we could be.You shrink in your relationships. You doubt your gifts. You numb the ache — but the chain stays locked.But here’s truth:Your pain is not your identity.It’s not meant to define you — or destroy you.Healing? That’s unlocking the chain.Freedom? That’s choosing to grow — one brave step at a time.You owe yourself more than survival.Cut the chain. Build the life you deserve.🦋 — Drago & Hover

When Your Best Feels Like It’s Never Enough…Ever feel like no matter what you give—it’s still not enough?You show up for family, hold down work, care for the kids, be a friend… and still, the world asks for more. More time. More energy. More perfection.And when your tank runs empty? The guilt sets in. The sadness creeps in. The loneliness deepens. You wonder if anyone even sees how hard you’re trying.You’re not alone. So many walk this path quietly—performing, pleasing, pouring from an empty cup—while their own mental health withers.Here’s the truth: You are not the sum of others’ expectations.You are enough—right now, as you are.🌿 Breathe. Set boundaries.🌿 Release the impossible standards.🌿 Prioritize rest, joy, and connection.🌿 Seek safe spaces to be seen and heard.🌿 Talk to someone—friend, counselor, or support group.You don’t have to carry this alone.Healing begins when you stop trying to “measure up” to a world that often asks too much.One love,Moe Grace

Mental Health Moment — from Drago & Hover🦋✨Fellas—What are the little things you take for granted?So many brothers stay locked in the grind—chasing titles, weighed down by the “should’ve, would’ve, could’ve.” Caught up in regrets and pressure, we forget the simple joys that keep us balanced.Mowing the grass. Washing the car. Cooking a good meal. Shooting hoops. That first sip of coffee. The sound of your kid’s laughter.These moments matter. They anchor us.You don’t need a million-dollar moment to find peace. The little things—done with intention—can feed your spirit, calm your mind, and remind you: you’re alive, and you matter.Slow down. Feel it. Appreciate it.That’s real strength.— Drago & Hover 🦋💫

High emotional reactivity strains a marriage. True love thrives in finding your calm and understanding, even when emotions run high.
