Every entity embodies the balance of dark and light, yin and yang, negative and positive, and so on. As a Gemini, the Twins, we understand this self-evident truth. JVDE reveals the dark as Jade Vanessa emanates the light. Openly, we are experiencing a human experience as a divine consciousness. We are the physical, emotional, and spiritual bodies. We are the Learner, the Teacher, the Writer, the Poet, the Philosopher, the Artist, the Creator, the Dancer, the Singer, the Instrument, the Energy... the Reflection. As a community, we are all light reflecting one another. Young and wise, musically and lyrically inclined R&amp;B artist, Jade Vanessa composes original and versatile sounds through life experiences, and aims to connect to her diverse audience solely by remaining true to herself and captivating those through melodic harmonies and profound lyrics. As you tune in, you will find yourself part of a chosen community. Grow with me through elevation and understanding. Your presence breeds gratitude within my expression. Share elements of yourself if you feel called to, this is a safe space. <a href="https://jvdevanessa.com/">https://jvdevanessa.com/</a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/jvdevanessa">https://www.instagram.com/jvdevanessa</a>
