Alexis Skyy posted an open letter to her daughter on Thursday, and the message is as warm and direct as she gets.
The Instagram influencer and reality TV personality has never been quiet about what motherhood means to her. On May 8, she put those feelings into a letter format on Instagram. The post is addressed to her daughter, with the account @amazinglaylay tagged at the bottom.
The letter doesn’t waste time. “No matter how hard life gets or how tired mommy may be, please always remember that you are my greatest blessing,” Skyy wrote. Every decision she makes, she says, comes back to her daughter.
“Every decision I make is with you in my heart,” she wrote.
Skyy looks ahead in the letter too. She says she hopes her daughter always knows she’s “loved, smart, strong, and beautiful.” She encourages her to chase her dreams without hesitation. And she makes a promise she returns to more than once.
“Mommy will always protect you, guide you, and stand beside you through every season of life,” Skyy wrote.
The closing lines are where the letter really lands. Skyy tells her daughter she’ll understand one day what all the sacrifice meant. The late nights, the prayers, the grinding through hard stretches. “You are my why, my heart, and my forever girl,” she wrote. “I love you more than words could ever explain.”
Skyy first found a wide audience through Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood. She came across as direct and unafraid on that show. In the years since, her public presence has shifted toward something quieter and more personal. Motherhood is what she talks about most.
Her daughter Alaiya was born prematurely, and Skyy was open with her audience through that period. She documented the journey publicly and spoke about the challenges of Alaiya’s early months. Her daughter now has her own social media presence as @amazinglaylay.
After Love & Hip Hop, Skyy stayed public and kept being candid about her personal life. She’s spoken openly about parenting on her own and the weight that comes with it. That honesty about family has become a consistent part of her public identity.
Thursday’s letter reads like a natural extension of that openness. Skyy isn’t performing love. She’s laying out a life view. Everything she works for feeds back to her daughter’s future. That thread runs through the whole letter, but it’s clearest near the end.
“Every sacrifice, every late night, and every prayer was all for you,” she wrote.
There’s nothing vague about the letter. It doesn’t read like something that could apply to anyone. Skyy is talking to a specific kid about a specific relationship. The specificity of what she promises makes that clear.
The post closes with a pink heart emoji and Alaiya’s handle. For a public letter, it’s a pointed choice. Skyy wrote for everyone to see, but she made sure the address was unmistakable.
