Starving Pride: I had a lot of issues with pride. I hadn’t realized it but it had all been taken away to humble me. I had it all together before college and I never listened to anyone like EVER! I knew everything and that’s why everything went great for me. I never realized how blessed I was and how many people really guided me along the way. My Johari Window Plane had been left only with public and intimate knowledge of self because I never allowed anyone to tell me the truth about me. Scarred from childhood criticism I was always the hardest on myself in every situation. I knew my faults, I knew my wrongs no one knew them better than me. So instead of people feeling free to help and redirect me they walked on the eggshells of my ego. Needless to say God spent a few years allowing my pride to be broken down so He could enter in. I can say taking the limits off God blessed me more than before. I know from experience that starving our pride and losing control is by far the scariest thing that this season can bring but I’ve experienced some real joys from letting God take control. More information about the johari window in the link in my bio. ⚡️ 📸: @girlinthemidwest

“And we know all things work together for good to them that love God. Romans 8:28” My Angry Letter: The first time I realized I wasn’t alone was at MU event Take Back the Night. This was the first time I wasn’t the only one who has suffered from sexual harassment and abuse! It wasn’t until a very open and honest conversation with my mother that I told her my truth. Honestly after 14 years I didn’t think it would ever happen I just let go and let God. HA! Most of yall think I’m weird because of it I have space triggers. Too many people in my personal space gives me anxiety and I forget my thoughts and I start to sweat so I’m that weird girl. I held it in for years thinking that if I told my story it would RIP my family a part. Ha! SOMEONES CHOICE TO ABUSE ME WOULD PULL MY FAMILY APART. All she could do was cry and say sorry then she breathlessly said #METOO. She was sickened by the fact that she couldn’t protect me from the same fate she faced. It killed her to think those night where she heard what she thought was laughing and screaming from the joy of jumping on the bed was actual noises of me being assaulted instead. My mother said it was on my strength that I could even speak their names and even look in their faces. It was GOD. The rage that I felt then is the same burning passion that fills my lungs now I’m still forgiving! I spent 14 of my years living in silence 12 of those I thought I had ask for it, 5 of those years I had a sexual identity crisis. How do you fix your mouth as tell someone you had been assaulted by a girl and not commit murder when someone is ignorant enough to ask if you’re gay? I’ve lived in silence since I was 9 the abuse didn’t end until I was 14 and still 10 years later I still have visions of them (multiple people taking control of me and let’s not forget the brave man I stabbed when I was 20 no he didn’t die but he did call me a selfish BITCH who was asking for it.) on top of me I’M ANGRY, I’m PISSED and I STILL ASK GOD WHY I have to RELIVE THIS SH*T! I’m still angry, the passion that fills my lungs is still fiery because the moment I realized that one day I’d have a girl of my own I just might have to tell her #METOO.

So you want to be a model! You want to get paid to look pretty, wear cute designer clothes, have photoshoot, get your hair and makeup done, work with top notch designer, rub elbows with famous people and attend events for free? I get it all the time! "Must be nice?" I'm not complaining when I say this but this model life is WORK! It's not all selfies and makeovers, it's 5 hours in rehearsal a day, an hour in the gym daily, watching what you eat, and then showing up and them telling you to suck in your stomach. It's 12 hour days with no food provided, you spend more than what your paid and if you have an agent and you're getting paid they want their cut too. It's not all glitz and glam for the models who are really trying to make it, it's not a hobby or a side project or a just a favor your doing for your baby sister. This model life can be your bff or your worst enemy quite honestly I've seen only a slim side of the enemy lines but that's only because of Gods favor making wise decisions in the business can be the difference between sinking and floating. So if you're still reading and you're ready welcome to the Glow Camp Series: Modeling 101 -intro to modeling -model etiquette -can you walk? -rehearsal -wellness -castings 101 -agency 101 -show etiquette -networking -then business -how to get paid w/o an agent -Instagram -portfolio For the next 10 weeks you will be getting the lowdown on how I do it! You all have been asking and now I'm telling for FREE! Yep?! I'm giving you ALL the tea FOR FREE!!? Why you do that girl?! Because I love ya! So with that being said GET BUNS IN FORMATION AND PREPARE TO SLAY. SG style⚡️ Comment below what you want to know about modeling✨

I know I've been away for so long but I'm back to never leave again lol! Working on the new website has made me into a bit of hermit I had to get out and go for it so I'm back with an awesome outfit from @blacqueonyxapparel I love this dress so much! I love how my face says "I know there's tummy but I still look yummy." Definitely plan on pairing this with a bomber and booties for the fall but while it was hot I stripped it down to my olive open toed sandals and small gold jewelry. Comment your thoughts on the look below and be on the look out for more ⚡️ (at Blacque Onyx Apparel Boutique & Salon)

Everyday has been a new adventure for me with its own challenges and struggles I become more dependent on the Lord. Before doing things only my own was the norm I couldn't trust anyone, no deserved my respect, love and loyalty I was broken inside because I believed I was to bare all of these things on my own. Some days the devil tries to take me there but within this one year God has shown his presence in more ways than one. It's indescribable how it feels to take loads of weights you've been carrying for so long. It's different at first it feels strange, you might even be bored but as life fills with better things you will spend your days doing the things you love with out worrying about the ones you love. You will spend your time giving back without worrying about a budget because of provision, you will find happiness and joy. I can say His timing is different instead of getting things when you want it you get it when you need it. Instead of a sense of hopelessness or despair you'll find peace and patience in his will. Now all of this doesn't happen over night and once you get it doesn't mean that their won't be times that you won't be a baby but you'll look back to the time when you knew God was in control and you will long for it. Anything else will feel incomplete, or useless you look up and realize that He was the key to everything that you were seeking. Have a glow Monday!! ⚡️

Girl you will never fit in. Uncombed hair and extra large skin. I hope you have some beauty left within and wait around for the time when big girls are in. When that time is up pack your stuff and get you some appropriate stuff you can wear. Your boobs are everywhere and your hips are too wide, too much booty I could not live that life. Look at that face so much acne, her brows never matching, look at her arms I know she wished her legs looked like that. I must admit it's pretty darn hard to sit here quietly while the world takes a shot at me. As internalize these comments and make them apart of me. Self conscious when I walk out making sure my clothes fit me appropriately. It takes a lot of time to get my eyebrows even and my edges laid flat but your a black girl too so you know about that. Together we walk out to face the same struggle yet we talk about each other like the struggles aren't ours to share. Maybe I'm tired of fitting in and being fashionable maybe the world isn't right. Everything is questionable when I open up my bible at night. The Comforter tells me that I will be alright when I'm constantly wishing that the stars will align for my happiness, my peace, my billion dollar life, but is the American dream all money can buy. I don't want if I have to my criticized a lot. So less of me and more of You so I can show the world what you can do! Love myself, the world and you like I was called to do. Big brown girl you are beautiful look at all that you were called to do. Don't let the comment section discourage you, to build your hopes and dreams in the world when eternal life is called for much greater peace, and please don't lean on your own understanding at the worlds words they are devils trying to harm you. You are on a mission and they are trying to cover apart of you. So look at him and not the comments, love through him and he'll be a provider, trust in him and he will be honest. All in all they are just computer models comments. ⚡️

Sometimes a smile is all that is needed. ✨

My next #WCW is my favorite tomboy @sza she is styled gorgeously in this jean distressed dress for the bet awards. If you haven't heard her latest album definitely get on that #goals ✨
