Have you ever liked somebody so much you had to remind yourself to ACT NORMAL? Yeah… I wrote about it. After stepping away from releasing spoken word for a while, I found myself writing from a place I hadn't explored quite like this before. Not heartbreak. Not healing from what hurt me. Not trying to survive something. Just… **feeling.** The butterflies. The overthinking. The smiling you try to hide. The eye contact you break a little too quickly. 👀 The private fantasies you have absolutely NO business having yet. 😂 And that little voice in your head constantly reminding you: **Girl. Keep. It. Cool.** 🎙️ **“KEEP IT COOL”** The first single from my upcoming spoken word EP, *Let Me Feel This*, arrives **December 18, 2026.** This project represents a completely different chapter of my artistry. I'm allowing myself to write from openness, intention, softness, attraction and the beauty of experiencing something without needing to know how the story ends. So if you've ever had somebody make your grown self suddenly forget how to act... **this one is for you.** ❤️ Save the date: **12.18.26** **Dani Skye is back.** And this time? I'm letting myself feel it. 🌹 #DaniSkye #KeepItCool #LetMeFeelThis #SpokenWord #SpokenWordPoetry #PoetryCommunity #PoetryLovers #BlackPoets #BlackWomenWriters #BlackCreatives #PoetryIsNotDead #NewMusic #NewSingle #IndependentArtist #WomenWhoCreateI just finished my first FlexPath course for my Bachelor of Science in Psychology at Capella University today. My professor email me and said that she loved my research skills and that I did a good job. DISCLAIMER FOR ACCOUNTS THAT ARE SOLICITING AS BOOK COMPANIES: This is NOT a book. It's a post about living life with intention and purpose and not from survival mode and fear. #capella #education #intentionalliving #lifestyle #inspirational #instagood #instalike #blackexcellenceShe Sees Me. Not... "She's a great coach." Not... "She's inspirational." The moment everything changed was much quieter. It was simply... "She sees me." She sees why I'm exhausted. She sees why I've outgrown the life I've been settling for. She sees why success doesn't always feel like fulfillment. She sees the version of me I've been trying to become. That's what coaching feels like. Not someone telling you what to do. Someone helping you see yourself clearly enough to finally move. If you read this and thought, "I feel seen." This is your invitation. ✨ If you feel seen, let's talk.. (Link in the bio)
