You’re not beautiful for a dark skin girl…
What does Beauty mean to you?
Beauty is complex. There are multiple layers to me that make me beautiful. That’s what complexity is. A characterization of something with many parts that interact with each other in multiple ways. My intellect, my lips, my generosity, my go getter attitude all make me the woman I am and they all work collectively to make me beautiful.
If you could go back and speak to your younger self what
would you say to her?
You’re not beautiful for a dark skin girl. Your skin doesn’t define your beauty. Your intellect & character define the girl you are and woman you will become. I want to instill that in my daughter.
She’s powerful and unique.
What does Beauty mean to you?
Being happy and accepting myself as I am.
If you could go back to your younger self what would you say to her?
I would tell her to embrace her sensitivity, not to apologize for who she is and remind her that she’s powerful and unique.
