Metamorphosis

Imagine waking up and deciding not to hide your true identity, feelings, and beliefs anymore.

Taking the time to explore all the possibilities of what your life could be without wearing a mask.

Freeing up your mind from the distractions, stress and fear that you have been experiencing for far longer than necessary.

Well today is that day Sis!

Be encouraged, get ready for a big change,

A departure from what you’ve become accustomed to.

Just know that Ọlọrun, Olódùmarè [The ruler of Heaven and earth, our Supreme God] has an abundance of blessings in store for you.

(Amin Ase)

Embrace your new self, your new path, and believe that your future will bring you closer to your divine purpose, and that your biggest dreams will finally become fulfilled.

Stop holding yourself back, worried that you might fail, because you’re about to fly 🦋

Hi, lovelies!💖 I’m Sonelle, your friendly neighborhood ballerina. 

I’m a 28-year-old dancer from Belize. 💃🏾✨ 

I've been dancing since I was a tot, took a breather in my early twenties, and now I'm back in the studio.

Currently, I'm managing two classes a week – one in adult ballet and another in Graham technique. 🩰 I’m also considering adding Caribbean folk dance, a childhood favorite, this year. 

If you're into balletcore, wanna keep up with my dance journey, or just appreciate the beauty of black women in soft aesthetics, give me a follow! ✨

This is so random but shout out to Anthropologie for featuring black women portraiture.

I was browsing the home decor section and saw one painting with a pretty black lady and then got curious. To my surprise they have a pretty good selection. This is especially striking because every time I'm in that store I am the only black women up in there. So, I hope they are actually selling. Anyways, take a peek if this is your thing.

Got copies of the professional shots of my piece Parnpa pitha (choke). Happy with how they turned out.
