Let’s be honest — how many doors have been open for you… but fear or doubt made you walk the other way?
1. Playing small feels safe — until it starts feeling frustrating.
You know your ideas are solid 💡. You know your work connects 💬. But you’ve been holding back — second-guessing every post, product or plan. That hesitation? It’s costing you.
2. The opportunity is already here — but you’ve got to choose it.
Your people are waiting 🫶🏾. The support is out there 🙌🏾. But you can’t receive it if you’re too busy closing yourself off from the possibility.
3. Not showing up doesn’t protect you — it delays your progress.
Whether it’s launching something new 🚀, saying what you really think 🗣️, or finally backing your brand out loud… growth only happens when you stop overthinking and start moving 🛤️.
4. You’re not stuck — you’re just circling the same mindset.
And that mindset is keeping the wrong doors shut 🚪. Your next chapter needs new thoughts, not just new goals 🧠.
5. Real talk — your work deserves to be seen.
And it will be. But only when you stop assuming the door is locked 🔓.
📌 If this spoke to you, you’re not alone. I started All Shades because I knew the world didn’t need more of the same — it needed more of us, reflected boldly and unapologetically 💥🖤.
