Closet Problems

I thought some one might find a problem with the title of my business. I am skilled in many arts. I do not take offense, if you are offended.

Yes I am Middle Eastern and my family is Cherokee Indian. So migration and bartering is in my nature. I as a soul know my past lives and who I am in this one defines many of them. I feel this title expresses my work as a reader, a creator and a women. I considered the title Cherokee Chief (since my grandmother was and I am first born of her eldest son) but every time I thought of it some one would say something like “so many chiefs and not enough Indians” or “chief shish boom bah!” As if spirit was mocking me.. So I felt as if the Moma’s were saying that was to strong a public title 😌

I am used to critisim based on cultural and religious choices. I used to wear habjabs and get shit, I have dated Melanin people and been judged by my own family and friends. I have even felt compelled to hide my female partners from people in the past. But as a sentient being I love every one and am so connected to every race religion and species.

I love an artistic head dress, I love dread locks on white people. I wear jingly skirts and read anime. Any one who wants to be, dress or act as a geisha does not bother me and neither do bindi dots for photo shoots. I think white people in dread lox’s is cool. I say the word nigga with my friends and lovers who are dark skinned. Amongst my Mexican loved ones we call each other wet backs. and I would take on any bully who said a Gypsy or even a pole dancer was a tramp or had any malicious agendas. I date women and I laugh and call some of us dykes and fags - in my life words are for building strength in our definitions and not for tearing down. I love a Roma. I love a Hindu. I love a yellow man. I love Gypsies. The art of travel and making your own work is beautiful and not belittling to me. I am sorry if others find it offensive, and I am sorry if people have been hurt for it. I hope we find solace and healing in anything that we define our selfs as being or not being.

I’m a culturally mixed millennial and I’m sure any name I pick or any thing I do will always make some one some where uncomfortable or bothered, and I am learning they will have to find the solace inside of them selfs. I have spent too much time making up for things I did not do and it has held me too far back. When we were younger our mothers told us that any one who copied ya, loves and admires you. So not to be angry at them, but be proud of your self as well as grateful for there praise.

I have meditated and spoke to the earth and listened to my heart on this 💐💕and I will continue to do so. What ever any one wants to be little about any culture, race, sex or religion usually looks so great to me that I would wear the title in honor, in fact, I’d like to try it on. The only thing horrifying to me is that people would harm anyone for there differences or even yet still, there similarities.

Please forgive your pain

and love one another again
