This Sunday we had the opportunity to share space with Latoya from Black Opulence Xperience called Take up Room, Sis at the Crystal Cafe by Faith 2 Felicity.
As a powerful woman, taking up space when you walk in a room means owning your presence and being unapologetically yourself. It means giving yourself permission to be fully seen and heard, and refusing to shrink yourself to make others more comfortable. Taking up space is an act of self-love and empowerment.
Taking up space is about embodying your highest self and living your purpose. When you stand in your power and speak your truth, you align with your soul's mission and become a vessel for divine energy to flow through you. This energy can be felt by others, inspiring them to connect with their own power and purpose. If they do not, DON'T FEEL BAD!! They just not your people and that's ok. Do not shift that beauty to please nobody.
Ttaking up space can also be a challenge for women, who have been conditioned to be quiet, accommodating, and small. We are often taught to put the needs of others before our own and to downplay our accomplishments and talents. But when we deny ourselves the right to take up space, we limit our potential and rob the world of our unique gifts.
To reclaim your power and embrace your right to take up space, start by tuning into your intuition and inner wisdom. Listen to the voice within that urges you to speak up, share your ideas, and be seen. Surround yourself with people who support and uplift you, and let go of those who try to diminish your light.
Remember that taking up space is not about dominating or overpowering others, but about standing in your truth and allowing others to do the same. By owning your power and living your purpose, you create a world where everyone has the freedom to be their authentic selves and shine their light brightly.
