More of the history of DeAndre Byrd. You see this picture right here. This is 8 year old DeAnn. At 8 years old I remember learning one of my first lessons about self love from my grandma Daisy. You see at this time I was in 2nd grade at Thomasville Heights Elementary. At the time I remember having to deal with an argument from a sold called friend because she keep saying I was too light skinned and asking me if my ponytails were weave in front of everyone. I remember walking home from school that day mad and going into the house to tell my grandma. Chille... My grandma looked at me and said, "so what if you don't love you nobody else will. And you tell them if they so worried about your skin, tell em to stay out the sun!" She told me " they are probably just jealous because you are beautiful and so is your hair!". She then made me go right to the bathroom and look in the mirror to see and tell myself how beautiful I was. So Happy Valentine's Day to you guys! Remember that you are beautiful! Remember to LOVE you first! ššÆšā£ļø #happyvalentineday #valentinesday #deandreabyrd #thursday #motivation #thursdaythoughts #thankyouGOD #thankful #beautiful #babypics (at Atlanta, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt3Qqjog1Ie/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1q6sjajugl95d
