Hi, I’m Romae — an introvert from the sunny island of Jamaica. I moved away from the busy city to a quiet rural village, and honestly, I can’t imagine ever going back.
Some of my happiest memories are from my childhood in the countryside, spending time with my siblings, parents, and grandparents. That’s where I first felt connected to nature and to myself.
I love journaling, long stretches of alone time, black coffee with too much sugar and taking on more sewing projects than I can manage. What can I say? I love trying new things.
Speaking of which, I’m always excited to travel and immerse myself in different cultures, especially their food. Yum!
Over the past few years, I’ve been on a journey of personal growth and working on becoming the version of myself I’ve always wanted to be.
What I Value: I’ve always valued integrity, freedom, compassion, and creative expression.
What I’ve Learned (And What I’m Still Learning): Through this journey, I’ve gained so much. I’ve learned to be more patient and to show real gratitude, not just for what I have, but for how far I’ve come. I’ve learned how to stand up for myself instead of always being the one who needs to “keep the peace”. I’ve learned to be more compassionate with myself and with others. I’m no longer afraid to embrace my femininity or softness. Afterall not everyone can pull off the ‘badie’ or ‘it girl aesthetic’. Try to find what works for you and embrace that. Trust me, you’ll save time, money and even your sanity.
I’m not a finished product and I don’t want to be. This is a journey, and there are still things I’m working on: giving myself grace, quieting self-doubt and overthinking, and figuring out who I am outside of other people’s expectations.
I started She Treads Lightly in 2022 as a way to express my love for sewing and document my personal growth, but honestly, I didn’t have the courage to launch it back then. I feel into the common trap of thinking that no one would care what I had to say and that I wasn’t that good of a writer anyway. A lot has changed. I’m not the same person I was, and I’m no longer afraid to show up as my authentic self.
While my initial intentions for this blog was a way to document my journey, I now wish to use it as a way to help others feel seen and empowered in their own lives. Whether you’re struggling with procrastination, emotional overwhelm, weighed down by self-doubt, or simply trying to reconnect with who you really are, I hope you find something here that speaks to you.
She Treads Lightly is here to support your healing: mind, body, and soul. A place to grow without pressure, rest without guilt, and become the version of yourself you were always meant to be.
