In the age of social media when you put yourself out there for the world to see, it can get bloody scary and feeling fucking vulnerable. When I started @bloodygirlgang I wanted to be as authentic as I can as an artist, a woc, a migrant among many hats that I wear. I wanted to share unapologetic stories of the marginalized to the world where people can be unkind and unaware of the privileges they have - particularly in the Bay Area thatβs highly gentrified and infested with jerks. . If you had seen previous posts, Iβm going through some rough times... and out of the blue this sweet angel patron - Olivia, sent love and βοΈ money via @Venmo and revived the little hope I had in humanity. (Picture blurred out because I want to respect oneβs privacy) I had the pleasure of meeting Olivia once at a local community event where I was paddling my art and this angel has been sucha a amazing support for what I do that it makes me tear up. πΏ Thank you friend β€οΈ hope you donβt mind me sharing our little story. . . And. FUCK TROLLS. ππΏππΎππ½#commentaniceword #refrainfromnegativity #fuckoffifyoudonthavesomethingnicetosay .
