Well… here it is. 👀 I’ve kept one part of XRATED quiet from the beginning. Not because I was hiding. Not because I wanted some dramatic reveal. But now, here it is. Time to tell you who built the timeline’s most unhinged mirror. ❌😂

I used to think I had to fit into a certain box to be accepted or taken seriously. But the moment I stopped trying to fit everyone else’s expectations and started embracing who I am, my creativity and my talents, everything began to fall into place. Things became easier, opportunities felt more natural and I finally started enjoying the journey. Turns out, I was never meant to fit into a box. 💛

There are a lot of people in this space with multiple faces. They’ll smile in your face, convince you they want the best for you, preach community and support, all while finding every possible way to extract value from you. But you know what’s worse? The people who see exactly what’s happening, know exactly who these people are and STILL choose to defend them. At some point, silence becomes complicity and loyalty becomes enabling. Not everyone preaching community is here to build one. Some are just here to see how much they can take from it.

GM Beautifuls☀️ It's Taco Tuesday! 🌮 May your plans behave, your worries shrink and your day serve up something good! 😊💛

GN Beautifuls 💛 Monday has officially used up its allocated energy. Anything unfinished can argue with Tuesday. 😆 Sleep well!

I genuinely think more people should share their work before it’s perfect. The first attempt, the experiments, the things that didn’t quite go to plan. We see so many finished products but rarely the learning behind them. What’s something you’ve created that you’re proud of, even if it wasn’t perfect?

GM Beautifuls☀️ It’s Magic Monday! 🪄 May your coffee be strong, your ideas brilliant and your plans actually make it off the notes app! 😂💛 #DropDedGorgez @DedGorgez

GM Happy new week Now’s the time to lock in and grind it out. The wins are coming 😌

GN Beautifuls 💛 Sunday evening has a funny way of making Monday feel like it’s waiting behind the curtains. 😆 Hope you’ve had a wonderful weekend. Sleep well

Can we normalise changing our minds about what success looks like? What mattered to you five years ago might not matter today. Sometimes success isn’t about having more. It’s about having a life that feels right for you. Has your definition of success changed?

Most people know me as Crea, the designer. There’s a bit more to it. I’m a mum of five, a woman building her own business, and someone who has about 47 ideas competing for attention at any given moment. 🙃 I don’t need every idea to succeed. I just want to keep giving them a chance. 💛
