Shandra Latoy is officially in her artist era—learning, producing, singing, releasing. Because this isn’t just a birthday—it’s a personal renaissance.
I’ve learned a few things on this journey back to me. If you’re standing at the edge of your own beginning, here are a few reminders::
Reconnect with What Lit You Up as a Kid
Childhood passions aren’t always random. Often, they’re soul-deep. What did you do before the world told you to be practical? Start there.Be Willing to Begin Again (Badly)
Mastery isn’t required—only courage. Whether it’s singing, starting a business, or healing, your first attempts may wobble. That’s still progress.Name the Era You’re In
Give this chapter a name that speaks to your intention. “Artist Era,” “Healing Era,” “No-Nonsense Era”—words carry weight and direction.Surround Yourself With Mirrors, Not Critics
Share your journey with people who reflect your light back to you. Not everyone will get it, and that’s okay. You’re not creating for them.Honor the Pause as Much as the Push
Rest is resistance. Clarity comes in stillness. You don’t have to sprint into transformation. Walking forward is enough.Let Your Voice Be the Lead Instrument
Whether literal or metaphorical—your truth is the melody. Speak it. Sing it. Write it. Let it guide the beat of your becoming.
What’s Coming
I don’t have it all figured out.
But I know this:
I’m showing up for myself like never before.
And I want to say thank you—thank you for reading, for witnessing, for riding this wave with me.
Stay close.
The music is coming.
And it’s got my name on it.
