Ngayi Warrior Heart family 🤍🖤✨
Today is not just a welcome. Its a full-circle moment.
I want to honour and introduce a young woman who has walked beside me for six years — from the early Kiilalaana days, to becoming one of our OG Tiddas, to now standing as an integral part of the ecosystem and my inner circle.
My niece and biggest gratitude to say this .A staunch, big-hearted Indigenous woman with fire in her belly and softness in her spirit.
I have had the privilege of mentoring her, guiding her, watching her rise — and in truth, she has also taught me. About courage. About loyalty. About quiet strength that doesn’t need applause to know its worth.
When I asked her what the Warrior Heart means to her, she said:
“Trusting you can be safe to try and that you are allowed to want more.”
Let that land.
Safe to try. Allowed to want more. That is the reclamation.
And when I asked what she is committed to pursuing here, she said:
“Intake from spaces not just output.”
That right there is sovereignty.
For so many of us — especially as Indigenous women, daughters, sisters, leaders — we are conditioned to give, to hold, to carry. To be output. But the Warrior Heart is not just about what we produce. It is about what we allow ourselves to receive. Wisdom. Community. Support. Space. Expansion.
Shyanna, I am grateful and humbled to witness your becoming. Your power is not loud for attention — it is grounded, deliberate, and ancestral. You are not here by accident. You are here because you are ready.
Warrior Heart family, please wrap her in welcome. She is not new to this movement — she helped build its roots. And now she steps into this next chapter not just as a mentee, but as a woman claiming her right to intake, expansion, and more.
Shyanna — what are you most excited to grow into this season?
Welcome here, bub.
