Solange Dispels Notion She’s ‘Always on Vacation,’ Says She Relies on Nature for Her ‘Wellness’

Solange explained that she moved near “hiking trails, rivers, and the sea” to “actively” make nature and exercise a part of her wellness routine.

Solange isn’t on a permanent vacation, even if it looks that way.

On Monday (May 25) the Grammy-winning R&B singer posted a Memorial Day weekend Instagram carousel that showed her and Megan Thee Stallion hitting the lake. Although Solange appears to have been traveling in her recent Instagram posts, the vocalist and composer denied that she was far from home in a response to a fan.

“I feel like you’re always on vacation….and I feel like it’s exactly where you should be,” one commenter wrote.

The message prompted the When I Get Home artist to explain that she moved near “hiking trails, rivers, and the sea” to “actively” make nature and exercise a part of her wellness routine.

“so what u guys are seeing are usually 2-6 hour trips/hikes to state parks or city owned nature trails right by the crib or nature reserve (pictured here) that i am hiking or swimming or watching birds...then i take my a** back to work the next day lol,” she continued.

“I wrote this long ass paragraph to jusss encourage all my beautiful black and brown people to occupy this land. i loveee seeing us on the trails and experiencing all the ways to witness all of gods glory,” Solange wrote.

The singer’s connection to nature may have to do with how she was conceived, which her mother, Ms. Tina Knowles explained beneath an April post of Solange debuting her new haircut.

“You look like a beautiful Egyptian Goddess,” wrote Ms. Tina, who’s also the mother of Beyoncé. “Which is very appropriate since you were conceived on a cruise sailing down the Nile in Egypt.”
