your goal is to break all limitations and just LIVE | regan aliyah of xo, kitty

"i'm gonna try to do as much as my heart desires." regan aliyah of netflix's xo, kitty on going all in.

she's young. the perspective isn't. it came from her family: they taught themselves music because they couldn't afford lessons. the most talented people she knew. most never broke through. nothing is promised.

she saw the odds. went anyway.

here's the move. her family worked with what they had. so does she. anyone can count what's missing. she counts what's there. that's where the power is.

here's what she knows. the only things we're promised are being born and passing away. the middle is whatever we make it. so she's making all of it. full speed.

you know her as juliana on netflix's xo, kitty and from marvel's ironheart. she makes music with her sister as rybe. she dances. she acts. one lane was never enough.

she also knows what a story can do. a show she needed to see let her know it was okay to be herself. now people tell her theirs, and she listens. what she wants for anyone: to feel comfortable in who they are, and in their own story. no permission slip required.

that's regan. the talent opens the door. the conviction walks through it.

look — you've got a list of what you don't have. we all do. flip it. what do you have? what's your "let me try"?

if this found you at a crossroads, send it to someone standing at theirs.
