I Got Shadow Banned (F*CK the System!) 🔥
"The views on your Instagram significantly dropped after your MLK Day post. I think you're being shadow banned or censored."
That's what my social media manager said last week, her voice tense with concern. She showed me the metrics — a sharp, sudden decline right after I spoke up about racial justice and what MLK's legacy means for us today. ✊🏽
😳 Story views crashing from hundreds down to just 30. 😳 Reels that normally hit 4,000 views barely reaching 400.
Follower count dropping daily, while my DMs overflow with your replies — messages telling me how speaking up about race, inequality, and inclusion made you feel seen in a way you haven't felt in a long time.
The numbers don't add up. Unless, of course, they do. 👀
When Speaking Truth Gets You Silenced ⚡️
Because isn't this exactly what happens when we refuse to stay quiet?
When we dare to challenge systems of white supremacy and toxic end-stage capitalism? When we create spaces for ALL voices — BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, immigrants, underdogs — to be heard and celebrated? 🌈
They try to silence us. Push us down. Hide us from view.
But what they fail to understand is this: There's a fire that burns in us. A fire passed down through generations of silence: 🔥
💗 Through every immigrant mother taking ESL classes at night while starting a business by day, swallowing the pain of being told her accent was "too thick" to be taken seriously.
💗 Through every non-binary, neurodivergent soul who's been told they're "too much" or "not enough," who's had to navigate a world that wasn't built for them while creating spaces where others like them can finally breathe.
💗 Through every person living at the intersection of worlds (like myself) — trying to make sense of it all while society demands we fit into their neat little boxes.
That Fire Only Burns Brighter ✨
That fire doesn't die when they try to dim our light — it only burns brighter with each story we dare to tell, each truth we refuse to silence, each space we create for others to be seen.
Every voice they try to quiet grows stronger. Every story they try to hide finds new ways to be told. Every person they try to push into the shadows finds a community ready to pull them into the light. 🌟
Some days it feels hopeless. Some days watching those numbers drop feels like a punch to the gut. Some days the weight of fighting these massive systems of oppression feels too heavy to bear.
But then I read your messages. Your stories.
Your determination to keep showing up, to keep speaking truth, to keep taking up space even when the world tells you to shrink. 💗
This Is About Revolution 🔥
This was never about the numbers. This was never about playing by their rules.
This is about revolution. About liberation. About creating spaces where we can all breathe free. ✊🏽
F*ck Their Algorithms — We've Got Each Other 💫
Let the bro-ligarchs who've gained hundreds of billions since the election try to control and silence us. No amount of privileged "hand-me-down" 4th generation Yale grad wealth can silence us as we shine a light on each other — that's why this is sacred work for me. ✨
While the bro marketers are still out here doing "business as usual" and selling you "get rich quick" templates as if making more money at all costs wasn't the reason these toxic systems started... I'm out here redefining success and richness.
Because there's so much richness in ways you can't measure on a scorecard or revenue dashboard. 💗
We Have Something They Can't Algorithm Away 🔥
💗 We have each other. 💪🏽
💗 We have our PR work that gives us permanent SEO visibility.
💗 We have our stories.
💗 We have our voices.
💗 We have our emails.
💗 And most importantly? We have a community that refuses to back down.
No amount of wealth can silence a truth that refuses to be quiet. 🔥
Because showing up when they tell us to stay quiet? That's rebellion. Speaking our truth when they want us silent? That's power. Finding joy and community when they want us isolated? That's revolution. ⚡️
Your voice matters. Your story matters. And no algorithm can silence the truth that lives in your bones.
