“The Day I Reclaimed My Voice”

“The Day I Reclaimed My Voice”

By Nubian Rami of Authentic Vibez

There are moments in life when your soul decides: No more.

No more silence. No more shrinking. No more playing dead so others can stay comfortable.


Today was that moment for me.


It began with a name.

A name I hadn't spoken in a long time.

A name that once wrapped itself around my heart like ivy—until it withered everything it touched.


He was someone I trusted. Someone I let in so deeply that when the betrayal came, it didn’t just break my heart—it fractured my entire foundation. I lost my confidence. My belief in love. My ability to trust. I silenced myself to keep peace with people who never once gave a damn about my pain.


I went mute while I was hurting.

I swallowed screams so others wouldn’t feel guilty.

And I wore a smile that covered a storm.


But today, hearing that name again… it woke something up in me.


For the first time, instead of folding into that pain, I stood in it. I owned it. I faced the mirror of my healing and said:


“You will not own me anymore.”


Because I’m done carrying the weight of someone else's deception.

I’m done doubting the goodness in me because of the darkness in someone else.

I’m done thinking I need to be guarded just to be safe.


What I need is truth. What I need is discernment. What I need is me—whole, alive, radiant.


I performed a ritual today—not to curse, not to beg—but to close.

I chanted a protection over my life. I burned the lies.

And in their ashes, I found my voice.


This blog, this moment, this breath right now?

It’s proof I made it through.


So to anyone reading or listening who’s ever been silenced by betrayal,

Who’s ever doubted the beauty of love after being burned—

I want you to know:


You can rise.

You can speak.

You can reclaim what was taken.


And when you do?

You won’t just be healing—you’ll be reborn.


Asé.
. And it is so.

—Nubian

Dating a Con Artist: A Cautionary Tale ( Written from my own personal experience and observation): In the realm of modern dating, it's not uncommon to encounter individuals who aren't exactly who they claim to be. From embellishing achievements to hiding past relationships, the spectrum of dishonesty can be vast.

Unbreakable: A Love Letter to Black Women (Black History Month Poem)

Image
You are the rhythm, the drum, the dawn’s first light, The whispered strength in the dead of night. Daughter of kings, mother of worlds, A crown of fire, your spirit unfurled. They tried to bend you, but you would not break, Turned chains into gold, turned pain into wake. Your laughter is thunder, your tears holy rain, You rise from the ashes, again and again. You built nations with hands kissed by scars, Lit up the sky and reached for the stars. They wrote you out, but you carved your name, A legacy burning, an unyielding flame. Sister, warrior, healer, queen, The world dims when you are unseen. But you—oh, you—refuse to fade, A masterpiece that God has made. So stand, Black woman, with your head held high, You are the dream they could not deny. Bold, unshaken, fierce, and free— The very essence of history.
