“It had always been my personal advocacy that all women possess natural beauty – inside and out. It was a long and arduous journey for me, and it is with great passion that I walk a beautiful life now.”
Like you, I grew up being the ordinary girl in the neighborhood. I went through the awkward stages of bad skin clad with zits, dull kinky hair, and a crazy set of uneven and protruding teeth. Of course there is obviously nothing wrong with being ordinary, but I had this silly thought that I had to get the validation from someone else. And mind you, I had the strangest feeling of wanting to be someone else. After years of learning the tricks and trades to be beautiful, after every roadblocks of countless trials and errors - - I managed to be get through it alive! All I ever needed was a dose of inspiration, and I need not look far and wide, I had it right before me, I wanted to make a difference and make my Momma proud… that was the most powerful passion that has led me to a beautiful life and a beautiful me.
Decide and make the conscious decision to live your life with conviction and grace. Strive to create a world of balance to fuel your life for the long and exciting journey ahead - on self discovery and self expression. Live each day to pursue your dreams and discover the things that matters most. Yes, I wanted to be beautiful and I want people around me to gravitate from that happiness. I was inspired, I was glowing inside and my life was full.
Of course, I still love dresses, and I love everything about fashion. I never forego my beauty regimen towards beautiful skin and healthier lifestyle. And I still have bad habits and careless mistakes.
I still have occasional bout of insecurities (trust me that’s normal!), but that never get in the way to overpower what’s already there – the passion and inspiration to stay beautiful inside out.
Now sistahs, it’s your turn. What was your bold, black and beautiful story? I am happy to invite you to join me and take part in my advocacy.
