You don’t need a mask. You don’t need a cape. You don’t need applause. You just need to show up. Sometimes just showing up wins the game.
~ Coach Nikki Cates
Have you ever felt like you needed to do something to be worthy of rest, love, or peace?
That’s the myth we’re unmasking this week.
Your worth has never been in your hustle. It’s in your presence.
Not your productivity. Not your performance. Not your perfection.
“You can’t be free if you’re still performing for the masses.” — UNMASK Playbook
Women of color are often conditioned to believe that unless we’re overworking, fixing, mothering, or pleasing—we’re not valuable. That is a lie.
And the deeper truth?
“You are already complete. Even when you feel undone.”
— from Reciprocity Eludes Me
This week, we say no more to shrinking, hustling, or shape-shifting to be loved.
💡 Reflection Prompts:
What would change in your life if your presence alone was enough?
Where have I been performing instead of being?
How does it feel to give myself permission to rest and receive?
Closing Affirmation:
“My presence is powerful. My authenticity is holy. I don’t have to prove a thing.”
