It’s a 2nd Grader ❤️🥹❤️🥹❤️ Have a GREAT First Day!!!!!!!

It’s a 2nd Grader ❤️🥹❤️🥹❤️ Have a GREAT First Day!!!!!!!

Tonight I’m sitting with a lot of emotions.

I attended an ALS event/dinner, listened to incredible doctors speak about the reality & frustration on the long road to ALS diagnosis. Somehow, I left this event holding this beautiful Soaring Spirit Award in honor of my dad.

I had no clue this was coming🥹.

Losing my dad was one of the most painful experiences of my life.
What many people don’t know, I started grieving him long before he passed. From the moment he was diagnosed, I cried and grieved almost every single night while he was still living. Watching someone you love change while still being physically present is a kind of heartbreak that is really hard for me to explain.

Then, when he left me, I had to grieve all over again.

I would not wish this on anyone.

But tonight has took me by surprise. My dad has been heavily all around me today. Then to end my evening like this was just confirmation that he is still here with me.

My dad’s life mattered. His fight mattered. Our family’s experience mattered. And if sharing our story can help another family feel seen, encourage someone to seek answers sooner, or bring more attention to ALS research and awareness, then I will use my voice.

This award is so beautiful, but what it represents means even more to me.

Dad, I wish you were here to see this. I pray I continue to make you proud and carry your memory in a way that helps others.

We have to keep talking about ALS. We have to keep supporting families. We have to keep pushing for awareness, earlier diagnosis, research, and hope.

Tonight, I’m grateful, emotional, honored, and reminded that love does not end when someone leaves this earth. 💚

I was told I don’t post content enough. I realized I spend so much time trying to think of a “perfect” content that I never post anything. I realized I just really don’t have the time. I was told to just press record and go about your day 😂

So… here’s the real me.

Just another late night trying to build the life I’ve been praying for.

If you’re here, thanks for watching.

🎶 It’s Alright, It’s Okay is out now.

I’ve been quiet on social media, but I haven’t been still. ❤️‍🔥

A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to perform my new single, “It’s Alright, It’s Okay,” live—and this moment reminded me why I released it in the first place.

Life will always bring something, but sometimes you have to put the problems down, turn the music up, and choose joy.

Here’s a little piece of the performance. More is coming. 🎤

My heart is heavy.

It’s my first Father’s Day without my dad. 💔🕊️

All I can do is cry, replay the memories, and hold onto the moments I never knew would become so precious

🥹
I wrote this song while sitting at the cemetery visiting my dad. The melody, the feeling, even the spirit of the song reminds me so much of him. I left the cemetery, went straight to the studio, and poured my heart into this record.

Two days later, my fiancé flew me to Las Vegas for my birthday. He insisted on recording every moment of the trip. I had no idea those clips would one day become the pieces of a video that would help me honor my dad’s life. 🎖️🧡💚

This video wouldn’t exist without him. (Thank you CJ Throne Mack) 🙏🏽

This song and video, “It’s Alright, It’s Okay,” are dedicated to my dad and to everyone carrying grief, loss, or heartbreak this Father’s Day.

For anyone grieving today, I pray this reminds you that healing doesn’t mean forgetting. It means learning to carry love and loss at the same time.

It’s alright. It’s okay. Joy will find you again.

“Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.” – Psalm 30:5 💚

Happy Father’s Day, Daddy. I love you forever. 🤍🕊️

And Happy Father’s Day to my fiancé, CJ. Thank you for loving me through one of the hardest seasons of our lives and helping me turn my grief into something beautiful. 🧡💚🧡💚

I’ve been carrying a heavy heart all day because tomorrow is Father’s Day.

I miss my dad deeply.

I still can’t believe he’s not here. 🥺
Whew!

This year has taught me that grief and gratitude can exist in the same heart.

Tomorrow, I honor my dad in a way he would desire ❤️

For everyone missing a father or someone you love this Father’s Day… I’m praying for you too.

Life had been life-ing lately.

So for a few days, I stepped away from my routine, got some rest, spent time with God, and gave myself permission to just be.

Somewhere between the clouds, the prayers, and the quiet moments, I felt something shift.

To everything there is a season.

❤️

Sooo, Yesterday completely caught me off guard 😩

I walked into Helping Hands thinking I was having a meeting, and they were having an Aloha party for the clients… only to realize the surprise was for me.🥹

The red carpet was laid out.📸🎥
The clients and staff lined up with yellow roses and hugs.💐
And in the background was “Human Nature” by Michael Jackson… a song me and my daddy used to sing together.🥹🥺

One by one, they handed me roses. Then they filled a beautiful glass vase with water and told me they wanted to show their love and gratitude through everything I’ve been carrying.

Then they gave me the most thoughtful gift… a teddy bear with my daddy’s voice singing.😭😭
For a moment, I thought he was standing there singing to me like he’d usually do😩 It felt surreal

**sigh**

I cried.
I laughed.
I danced with my clients.

And honestly… I woke up this morning still full from all the love. The thoughtfulness ❤️

After everything these past couple years have brought me, moments like this mean more than words can explain.

Thank you to my Helping Hands family for reminding me that even in grief, purpose and love still finds you 🤍

Time to get back to Grind Mode and get back to business!!! We about to have a fun summer 😎😎😎

“To everything there is a season.” ✨

This birthday hit different.

From the Vegas lights, to the AMAs, to grieving and honoring my dad during Memorial Day weekend… God reminded me that every season has purpose. ❤️

I’m walking into a new chapter with gratitude, vision, healing, and faith.

Thank you all for the birthday love 💋

And somehow, your birthday falls on Nurse’s Day…
which feels so fitting because caring for people is exactly who you were.

You weren’t just a nurse by profession…
you were naturally nurturing, loving, and always looked out for everybody.

This is one of my favorite pictures from your graduation.

The second birthday without you has been heavy… but I’m so grateful for every memory we shared.

I love you forever.

Keep watching over us.

This isn’t a glow up.

This is what survival, faith, grief, healing, motherhood, leadership, and purpose look like when they all meet at once.

I had to become someone new.

Welcome to my Becoming Era.

Today makes 30 days since my dad passed.

I sang this to him right before he took his last breath.

He couldn’t move.
He couldn’t speak.

But as I was singing… I saw a tear fall from his eye.

That moment told me everything.

He heard me.
He felt me.

ALS took a lot from him…
but it didn’t take his ability to feel love.

And I’ll carry that moment with me forever.

Sasha D’Nise is a soul and R&B storyteller from Toledo, Ohio whose music blends raw emotion, luxury visuals, faith, and healing.

Inspired by blues storytelling, cinematic imagery, and the emotional honesty of real life, her work explores heartbreak, identity, womanhood, resilience, and finding God within yourself after losing yourself in others.

This is more than music.

This is transformation in real time.
