Stepping Away as a Lumina
Am I being dramatic? Maybe. Will anyone care? Probably not. But for my own peace of mind, I need to say this.
I’ve supported Black Swan since Fatou’s beginning, cheered for Sriya and Gabi as they worked hard for their spots, and welcomed Nvee when she joined. Seeing the four of them together was amazing. When they announced their U.S. dates, I jumped on tickets the same day—finally, I thought, I’d get to see them live and maybe even meet them.
When the show was postponed to September, I held onto hope. But now, with the cancellation due to “visa issues” (which I only found out about a week later through a third party), I feel… drained. It’s not just the refund. It’s the lack of communication, the constant uncertainty, and the frustration many Lumina have felt for a while.
I truly wish the girls success in their careers, but for my own mental well-being, I can’t keep investing my energy here. So this is me stepping away as a Lumina. Thank you for the memories, but it’s time for me to move on.
I completely understand how you feel, and your feelings are valid. It’s heartbreaking when something you’ve supported and been excited for doesn’t go as planned, especially after investing so much time and energy. The lack of communication can make it even more frustrating.
Taking a step back for your mental well-being is completely reasonable (I know I did a few times), and it doesn’t diminish the love and support you’ve given to Black Swan over the years. Thank you for sharing your experience—it’s important to acknowledge these feelings. Wishing you peace and happiness as you move forward.
