Akicita means “warrior” in Dakota. Wanted to represent my native heritage & wanted my stage name to be meaningful to me. I am and always will be a warrior. Just like my ancestors.
“If sexuality is one dimension of our ability to live passionately… then in cutting off our sexual feelings we diminish our overall power to feel, know and value deeply.”
“My sexuality is not an inferior trait that needs to be chaperoned by emotionalism or morality.”

there is great power in reclaiming your imperfections. in standing in your fuck ups, being honest about your L's and recognizing that you are growing. you walk with a different level of confidence when shame doesn't have a hold on you. when you are just real about it all.
I don’t think a lot of people realize how expensive being your own independent label is. It’s wild. To be real, I know social media is the easiest way but it’s not something I enjoy. At all. I loved tour and authentically making fans by performing. I felt truly connected 😭
If I could afford to fund my own tour, I would do it in a heartbeat. No hesitation. At the moment, I AM my own label. Every single thing I do is paid by me and me only. So thank you to my fans for being patient with me while I try to find my way 🥹 every journey is different, xo
I really struggle with social media. It’s unfortunate how much it matters these days to be taken seriously, especially in my industry. In order to even be looked at or considered for a label, I need to have a big following from constant posting to fit an algorithm. Annoying as f.
Eventually you'll realize that everything always ends up working out. Sometimes even better than you can imagine. Remember this when you feel like you’re in a hard place or you feel like you’re being challenged the most. Believe in where you’re headed. See the bigger picture.
I honestly can't recommend seeing @akicita_ enough.
I saw her live again tonight at @leonalewis show in Sheffield & she's just absolutely amazing. But 2 night I was honoured enough to meet akicita
Thankyou for getting me the chance to meet you & I can't wait to see you again💙
