The singer continued to speak openly about the book’s impact on her, saying, “My life was revolutionized by this book about indigenous wisdom and plants. I knew after reading it that I’d never look at the world and all of its inhabitants in the same way again.”
Cabello went on to say that the book had taught her a lot “about reciprocity, about Mother Nature’s gift and wisdom, and about how, when we heal the Earth, we heal ourselves. All prospering is a two-way street.'”
Cabello also thanked tattoo artist Kane Navasard, saying that “his artistry helped me honor this important book today.” On his own account, Navasard offered another peek at the new ink. “A small sweetgrass braid for a lover,” he captioned the black-and-white photo.
