“Let your fabulousness shine honey.”

What do you feel is your most Beautiful feature?
My most Beautiful feature would be my lips. I use to hate them because growing up people made fun of my lips . When I was a kid I fell off of my Hot Wheel and busted my lip on a curb. The way it healed caused me to have this permanent bump in my lip. They used to call me bubble lips. That caused me to hate my lips and swore I would NEVER wear bright lip glosses or lipsticks. But that all changed while watching an episode of Girlfriends. There was an episode where character Toni Childs had on this bright red matte lipstick. She had big full lips and she looked amazing. She was so aware of her self and she owned it! So I decided to embrace what I was made to think was a flaw. I wanted to OWN IT like she did. And now I do. I LOOOOVEE my full lips… especially when I’m wearing red lipstick.

If you could go back to your younger self what would you say to her?
I would tell my younger self ” Boo…stop being so critical of your self. You are beautiful! You are thick, embrace it. Don’t be ashamed. Also don’t be so shy, people want to hear what you have to say. Smile and show those beautiful teeth of yours, stop hiding it. And let your fabulousness shine honey because one day your fabulous self is going to inspire other women just like you.”

“Ain’t nothing wrong with going against the grain….”

What does Beauty mean to you?
Definitely outward and inward confidence and resilience. I’ll admit, as a woman its really difficult to feel that way all the time. I’m one of those girls, but I endure and keep my head up, even when its at its darkest for me. I think that’s beautiful.
