I have really been questioning my purpose alot this year. Sometimes we rate our successes by the views and applause of others. But there comes a point where you have to learn to pat yourself on the back, not in a cocky way.. cause there is STILL so much more that needs to be done. But, you have to say.. Dammit,if I can do THAT.. I can do anything. I'm a small town girl from Huntsville,Al who started from nothing but created a whole plus size movement that is known internationally. My models were trained by one of the dopest TOP models in the world, I had the first PLUS MALE model team in my state. I had Pro Ball players and Gospel Greats debut their clothing lines right here in Huntsville, Al. And models I have trained have walked in the Real NYFW and even in Paris. I may not have the fame or the money of others and I may not always do things the right way. But I will be damn if I let anyone downplay my accomplishments ( that includes me). Yes, year 7 has been harder than all the others combined. But, I'm still going to make it happen,.. I have Faith IN ME whether anyone else does or not. Hey... I never said loving yourself was easy. I said it was necessary. #LoveLetter @fullfiguredfierce #FullFiguredFierce #PlusEmpowermentWeek March 9-16 Photo by @ronmayesphotography #Feelnoshame #trusttheprocess #clapforyourself #empowerment #instaplus #instainspiration #inspire #loveislove #afro #afropuff #rage #shebelieved #luvmythick #shebelievedshecouldsoshedid #explorepage #plusmodel #wcw #believeinyourself # (at Huntsville, Alabama) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrTNoUFA3fV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=b1ihsp0vh6ad
The challenge in my group today is to name three things that you like about yourself. I decided to share mine because I think it's important to talk about the good things in yourself not just dwell on things you want to change. . 1. My eyes. They're super blue but my left one has a speck of brown in it (I call it my freckle). I love it because my dad's eyes are brown so I have a little bit of both of my parents in my eyes. . 2. My heart. I think my ability to be empathetic and my sensitivity helps me better care for my patients and really connect with those around me. . 3. My persistence. I can't turn down a challenge. Once I set my mind to something (going to grad school, running a 1/2, for example) I don't stop until I succeed. No matter how many bumps I may encounter along the way. . What are three things you like about yourself? I want to hear them! You're allowed to clap for yourself! . #clapforyourself #thingsyoulikeaboutyourself #eyes #heart #persistence #empathetic #freckle #FridayChallenge #sharingiscaring #cantstopwontstop
