About Me: Who Am I Beyond My Roles?

Hey Luves, it’s been a long time since I’ve posted here. I’ve been trying to grow my social media presence, especially in a world that seems to prefer visual content over long-form reading.

We are in the last month of 2025 it feels like it went by so fast, doesn’t it? As I was journaling this morning, a question came to mind. I usually think these are questions from God when they just pop into my head from nowhere.

The question is: “Who are you?”

It’s funny recently while with my family, I made a statement that “no one calls me by my real name but my mom and my dad.” This is interesting to me, because outside of work and my parents, I find it so strange when someone says my full name.


I’m Kieshaun

For most of my life, I’ve been known by my roles.

  • someone’s mother
  • someone’s partner
  • someone’s daughter
  • someone’s friend

I hold those roles with love they’ve shaped me, stretched me, and given me purpose. But lately I’ve been asking myself a deeper question:

Who am I outside of what I am to other people?
Who is the woman that exists when you strip away every title?


What I’ve Learned About Myself

I am a soft soul who has had to be strong for most of her life.
Not because I wanted to but because life demanded it.
I handled things quietly, resiliently, with a kind of strength that isn’t loud it’s steady.

Underneath that strength, there’s a softness the part of me that loves deeply, feels deeply, and sees the world through emotion and intuition.


What Brings Me Joy

I find joy in experience sunsets, trees, mountains, music, travel, laughter, and conversations that drift from light to soul level without warning.

I love dancing the movement of it, the release of it, the freedom of it. There’s something about losing yourself in rhythm that feels like therapy.

Laughter especially the kind that makes your stomach hurt is sacred to me. I love people who bring lightness, who don’t take life too seriously, who know how to play.

I also love quiet my own energy, my solitude, the peace of being alone with my thoughts.


I recharge in silence.


The Heart of Me

I am endlessly fascinated by human emotions:

  • how we think
  • how we love
  • how we fear
  • how we heal
  • how we carry our stories

I notice behavior patterns the unspoken language of expression, the tiny shifts in tone or energy that most people overlook. Understanding emotions mine and others’ makes me feel connected to people.


Becoming

The truth is… I’m still learning who I am. Not just who I have been but who I am becoming.

This chapter of my life feels like a reclamation. A remembering. A return.

Hi, I am Kieshaun
And before I belong to anyone else I belong to myself.


If You’re Reflecting Too…

If you’re in a season of rediscovery too, I’d love to hear from you.
Who are you when you’re not performing a role for others?
