      You are who you need to be and I have appreciated you so much. Anyone with overly opinionated feedback is speaking from a hurt place that has zero to do with you. You feel deeply and so naturally all and I mean All people are drawn to your energy. As a therapist who had to learn this very lesson, I hear you and I see you. Keep going! ❤

  • @LatoyaNickee

    “Your vibe attracts your tribe.” Those who align with you authentically will gravitate and stay. Personally, I adore your Godly energy and jokes. It’s refreshing and modern. And I downloaded all the songs on the playlist you shared (OKUR 👏🏾). We need you and love you! Please be your most vibrant and honest self.

  • @manidelaih1601

    As someone who was Christian stopped being Christian from church hurt and am slowly reconnecting with faith, I’m deeply proud of you. Authenticity is hard. Even for us young folks we just pretend we okay most times. I appreciate who you are even if it’s “churchy” because it’s clear that you live in love which matters the most♥️

    • @CakesDontLie
      @CakesDontLie 5 месяцев назад +1

      That is so heartbreaking to hear. I’m sorry that happened. I’ve definetly hurt people in and outside the church sadly. But we can’t look to others to strengthen our faith. We must fix our eyes on Christ. But when we do hurt each other, we must go to one another and forgive just as Jesus forgives us. It is sad because God says that unbelievers will see that we are Christians by our love yet, people in the church hurt others. Praying that the Lord would heal you from that hurt as you continue to follow Him and that He would lead you to a good biblical church and make some good friends there💖✝️

    @kenyathevirgo 7 месяцев назад +96

    First and foremost… Shout out to all the “early” millennials. Most of us have Baby-Boomer parents, possibly Generation X siblings & cousins, so there’s a lot going on for us. You are absolutely right about how we were brought up, to “ keep your business out the street “ and keep pushing…there was no time to be vulnerable. But through doing the “ work “ we learn to give ourselves grace, and to be vulnerable isn’t a show of weakness. It’s strength!! It takes strength to speak, stand and live in your truth. Thank you so much for sharing.

  • @VivHairTherapy
    @VivHairTherapy 7 месяцев назад +25

    Ma'am!! I relate to this so much! Struggling with what social media "requires" from us to stand out these days, vs. valuing my PRIVACY!! I don't want to vlog my house, I don't want to discuss my marriage... I love natural hair content and I don't want to switch niches.... but relatability and vulnerability is the name of the game 🥴Have to ask myself how much being private is holding me back 🥲

  • @octaviao.1152
    @octaviao.1152 7 месяцев назад +28

    “Vulnerability is not a weakness. Vulnerability is a strength.” 👏🏽 Thank you for sharing - you are pioneering what strength truly looks like. Unapologetically being who God made us to be and holding our heads held high. God is bigger than any fear this life can throw at us. Walk heavy sis!

  • @carolhoward4043
    @carolhoward4043 7 месяцев назад +86

    Interesting enough, I started following you because I’m a church girl who was able to discern someone who had a heart similar to mine. We have to be reminded that God placed us where we are the way we are because we are needed there. It is challenging when we do not “align” with others but that does not negate the face that this place was created for you by Him!!!! You are fearfully and wonderfully made. That’s it ❤

      I love your comment! I have wondered why I've met some of the peoole I have. Worked the jobs I have when they aren't in my field. Nor anything close to what I like to do. I have met sone amazing people along the way. A lot of times we think people are coming into our lives for a reason or purpose. I have come to realize that sometimes it's both ways but mostly it's for the other individual. I say for them because we are travelers. We are givers. That's why our hearts get hurt when we know that all we want to do is help people. Inspire them. Give them something we didnt have but dont't want them to go without experiencing. I have llearned a lot about myself and im thankful for my growth. Remain true to yourself. Never try to be anyone else, like anyone else. #GODSPLANFORYOUISONLYFORYOU

    Bullies are real, but we can be reminded that we are not wrestling with people, but with spiritual forces. I believe you will be relatable to the right people and God's spirit in you will draw those who need your gift to influence their lives. Thank you for your honesty. I've had this same struggle and I'm 45.❤

The few naysayers are just that but your real followers understand you ❤ I myself am not a church person…but somehow I connect with you I understand you…I sometimes shout with you and laugh when you bust out speaking in tongue. We are your people, please share and thank you for being vulnerable with us.

It has blessed me in so many ways ❤ confirmation 🙌🏽 Love you Rayna and I'm here to stay. You have helped me on my hair journey and if anything you acknowledging God is a plus not a negative. So whoever stops following because of that so be it👌🏽 He will replace them ‼️

    If you’re afraid… of anything…. The time for God is ALWAYS NOW!…. Right now! Stop masking, show who you are. If there was ever a time for a God loving hair guru, with a comedic side… then it DEFINITELY needs to be NOW! Mind you, I am walking in fear myself…. And God used YOU, to have me and so many others hear this message! I REALLY NEEDED THIS!!!! Please understand your words and actions are needed at this time. Let’s be here for each other and one another. Putting God first! Amen? AMEN! 🙏🏾 ❤🥰

    Sis thank you for being vulnerable and opening up to us. I truly believe it’s the Holy Spirit that drove you to do this video. Those subscribers that unsubscribed to your channel because the fact that you glorified God that’s their lost and I pray that they will one day find God. Speak about God, brag about God, boast about His goodness. Sis I’m here for it all 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

  • @RoYo310
    @RoYo310 7 месяцев назад +10

    Rayn gang! I've been rocking with you since I started my natural hair journey during the pandemic. I'm in my late 40's and your content has always been an uplifting vibe. I think you're being too hard on yourself. Most of us (if not all) know how important The Most High is in your life. Those that can't handle that, God will open the door of the nearest exit for them lol. They are not part of your tribe. Any one that would take the time to write "I unfollow", is coming from a negative place and has issues in their life they need to work on. That's their problem not yours. I don't listen to much mainstream music because it's low vibe. I listen to artist like Jimpster, India Shawn, Alex Cortiz, Lisa Shaw, Blue Six. Being an empath (as I believe you are to) it's the energy and the emotion in the music that is important for maintaining spiritual alignment. There is a quote I've been using to work on my own fears " I see fear for what it really is.....an illusion". It is our conscious mind that creates fear. So continue to be your authentic self and the "unfollowers" of the world will fall to the left as they should.. Love 💗 and blessings 🙏

I can’t wait to see God uses you in this next season… because He don’t play about you! 🙌🏾🙌🏾 Thank you for reminding me that even when I don’t acknowledge Him, He still sees me, loves me and wants the best for me. I cried during your video… Kay? Wishing you many blessings and all the love and support from your vibe tribe…! Also, if you want to hire me pro bono… I’ll block people for you and kick trolls out the comments 😌🙃

Stay strong & keep what GOD has blessed you to do. 😊

    Hey. When I was younger all I heard was "your hair so pretty " until I became my hair. I thought that was all I was. But God. I had chemo in 2012 and the hair situation changed. It won't grow, it's thin, etc. But you know what...He was showing me I was more than my hair. Go get yours. I can't wait to see YOU 😊

    @lavonaedwards3864 7 месяцев назад

    From a fellow pk we work so hard to not be “wrong “ in all of the different arenas of our life to the point that we start losing who we are. Almost 50 and I found out too late that the only way for me to not be wrong in all the different arenas of our life is to be authentically ourselves all the time so that we don’t have to manage the different selves we try to present to those different arenas. There was a time I felt like I had split personalities trying to be all things to all people types when I could only successfully be me. If the authentic you isn’t enough for someone, then thank you ex-next…thank them for doing you the favor of deleting themselves from your life. ❤

    Oh my! I didn't want to comment but I just felt compelled to. We are truly living in a time where you CAN NOT hide Jesus! The world needs him. In social media too many people are sharing how far from grace they are in every single way. It's unfortunate, but there aren't ENOUGH influencers sharing more about God! Rayna, you are here to share the abundance God has blessed you with! You're vulnerability is a testimony and I'm so glad I found you. Please open the flood gates and let God out! share him with the world. Your followers love you. You got this!! God Bless you 🫂

    @Steffi.EchoGraphix 6 месяцев назад

    I didn't even need you to say you are a PK, I recognized myself in what you were saying. You are being such a blessing to me. I stopped making videos long ago because of all the life "crap" going on with me wouldn't "look good" to other folks. I always had a praise and a testimony on my lips, but I was selective about where I spoke. I held onto the lessons I heard as a child "be seen, not heard", especially when it came to feeling I had a message (Pastor Wms wasn't having that). Now I'm learning better and being drawn to others like me. Thank you for being vulnerable.

This video made me like you even more! I appreciate your vulnerability! I can relate to this so much! ❤🥰

    I generally don’t comment but for this I must. Well said and God is pleased. I spiritually and authentically mean that. I thank God for you…your obedience is connected to so many lives you have no idea and the best is yet to come. I have followed you for quite some time and the “ churchy” part is what kept me here. I felt your true love for God and I know oh so well that feeling of being lost because you feel like you are letting daddy down. But you are in this world and not of it, so be that change agent. You’re going to lose some but better is the end of a thing then the beginning there of. Sometimes you got to lose to win. I’m excited about your future and I’m going to be amongst the many that will be watching. Congratulations!!

    I felt this. *clutching my chest and closing my eyes* Please keep being you because authenticity is necessary! Shout out to the introverted goofy folks who love to laugh and surround themselves with whom and with whatever fulfills them. Keep ‘em coming Rayna! I wish you continued blessings in 2024! 💕

    Keep being authentically you! Who you genuinely are will attract like minded people. Those who are not aligned should just keep scrolling, they are not your people. This realization is a blessing and I wish you keep going and keep being vulnerable. The world DOES need you.

    Thank you for sharing and for your transparency. I hope you find the path to be authentically you and anything or anyone that is not meant for you will just drop off. I enjoy your videos no matter what.... I came for the hair but stayed for the hilarious jokes LOL.... you had me at the "you're welcome" snippet in the beginning :)

    Thank you so much for sharing! I absolutely Love your content and one of the main reasons is because you are authentic to you and you dont try to mimic what others do. You are such a breath of fresh air! And you are so right... fear and comparison will definitely tear down your aspirations and plans. I'm severely introverted as well and I also got into sharing about my natural hair because of encouragement from friends and I just wanted to help people but I quickly gave up because I didnt really feel like I measured up to what everyone else in that space was doing. This video is inspiring and it is helpful to know that I'm not alone in some of the feelings I have about trying to be a content creator. I can't wait to see you be free and fully express yourself! You are literally my friend in my head and I am rooting for you and cheering you on! Sending you Love and Hugs! 💜

    You are soooo NOT alone in the space you were in and I praise the Most High for your vulnerability ❤. When we really begin to walk the words we read and speak we begin to show our father that we trust him by Faith 💓💓🙏🏾 be encouraged and know you are not alone he's with you all the way to the end. HalleluYah 🕊️💯

    Thank you for making this video Rayna! Everything you mentioned about not wanting to share with others has been my life story. I figured holding it in protected me, but now that I'm older I see that I lost out on a lot of opportunities.

    From the first video I watched until now…. I love your channel for this reason! Thank you for being real with us and putting yourself out there… I’m also a millennial and you’re so right… we’re definitely introverted because this isn’t how we came up,.. Internet became popular my first year in high school. I’m sure your transparency is going to help some people…it’s already helped me! Keep pushing and praising… he will continue to bless you❤❤❤

    When I started my natural hair journey your channel was one of few that stood out to me. When they say your vibe attracts your tribe...you are the vibe. I don't feel like I am watching a stranger, I feel like I am watching a friend. Thank you for sharing your truth, it touched me in ways that I can't even explain. I can't wait to see where your journey takes you next. And I am with you with the teenage daughter! I have 2, 15 and 16 and let me tell you I was NOT ready! lol Rayna, you are love and you are loved! Thank you for always sharing!

    SO proud of you sis!! Ive definitely noticed the tides have changed in these RUclips skreets as more and more creators are coming to grips with the fact that authentic content and realness are what the viewers connect with and see more of. Im reiviving my UBER dead, dusty crusty channel at the top of the year, and making myself get outside my comfort zone. Will be praying for you sis! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

    For starters I have been following you for years now, I didn’t click on this video it just started to play while getting ready, but this has really blessed me and I definitely needed to hear it. I am struggling with the same thing of being true to myself and being authentically me, I’m tired of trying to please people. So Thank you Rayna for sharing your testimony and being such a blessing throughout the years ❤

    I’ve been watching you since Covid started and love all your videos. Let me say this is the BEST video you have ever posted! I’m also a PK and I was drawn to you because I loved seeing you being goofy, churchy and stating you were introverted and I relate to all THREE! Thank you for letting your guard down in this video. I’ve been walking in fear with things in my life and this video showed me that everything will be okay! Please continue being you!!!

    Rayna! I appreciate your vulnerability and transparency! As a believer, introvert, and Gen X'er😊, I've had similar feelings about being people-pleasing, fear, influencing, what to share and how much to share, etc. But watching this video today has helped me tremendously!!! I've been watching your videos for years, some time after I began my own natural hair journey (circa 2009). Let the LORD have HIS way! Get ready for the exceedingly abundantly, above all you can ask or think! Let's gooooooo!!! 🙏🏾❤🙌🏾
