I really love this post that I created when I first came up with the concept of this post.

Yes, I went to Vegas with passion and purpose with a plan and a goal. I thought that it would become a reality but a year in or less, I realized that I was on my own. Although, I do believe that those I knew did understand my passion but I closed my eyes that they were not passionate about my passion too.

I found myself slowly, they quickly stopping my dream to create a platform for independent artists to be able to showcase their talents in The Entertainment Capital of The World. I fell into supporting Vegas Entertainers. I used my skills to support great Vegas Entertainment Entities, but it went on for years without any support from them to help me grow as a business.

I was no longer dreaming, plotting and planning Lady Flava News projects. I lost interest in doing my radio shows and I completely lost interest in being apart of anyone’s team or to work on other peoples projects. October 2022 I had very hard conversations with the people I was supporting, they didn’t seem to understand my disappointed in them and the relationships dissolved. And strangely, I am okay with that.

So after 6 years of living in Vegas, I decided and took the steps to leave and return home to Seattle. From my first day of arriving to Vegas with not knowing where I was going to stay…to the day before I drove away, a lot of things ended up in the trash. I’m still working through forgiveness of the gaslighting behind this process.

This is why I say I died, Lady Flava died in Vegas. My spirit was so hurt. I had to recognize that I allowed myself to be emotionally and abused. Between personal, industry connections and my job killed my drive and passion for I branded myself and business…the things that drove my energy to create and work on projects.

I have been sitting on the blog for several months. I accept that people don’t understand what harmful things that took place in Vegas, but I don’t need them to understand because it is my story, my experience. Maybe one day I will allow myself to tell my truth, but right now if I was to tell it, some will be able to tell whom were involved.

Now that I delayed this post until the last day of 2023, I decided it was time to put this post out and to let it go. I am promising myself that after tonight, I will mention Vegas on a lite note, versus an intense and painful sharing.

I believe that I was meant to delay this sharing to December 31, 2023. I am so ready to let go of reliving the sadness. I own my part in the madness and sadness. I am shifting my thoughts around what took place and the why, or what I believe the why is or was. I already feel very distant from what was my life in Vegas and the people that I crossed paths with.

I do have people that I will always stay in touch with and hold them always in my heart.

I came to Vegas excited and left a very different person. But I don’t feel it is a bad thing. I came to understand myself so much better than ever in my life. I’ve come to sincerely love myself and trust my process of how I am handling my time. I am not letting anyone make me feel badly for my lack of seeing or communicating with others. It has nothing to do with them, it’s about me and my lack of interest to interact with others right now.

I have no real clue what my Rebirth will look like. I have really gotten into writing my blogs and sharing what I want, when I want. I have hundreds of drafts with blog concepts, I revisit them and many I complete where others I delete or let sit.

I really want to develop my blogs better. I do want to get out and experience things I can write reviews on.

I do hope to connect with those creating original art that will enjoy and embrace.

I will commit to updating my “Happenings In The Pacific Northwest Page. And come out to experience some of these events.

I did renew my Press Pass and will find ways to utilize it as I build my brand as a reviewer and writer.

Beyond that, I have not plans. I will see where God leads me. I know that my work is to show support to independent creative soulz and small business owners.

Happy New Year To You!
