I learned everything I know about fashion from the baptiat church muthas! They would walk in chuch with their freshly drycleaned suits, heads held high, and smelling like vanilla fragrance. They would have a pocket book full of peppermints. #fashionstories #pinkaesthetic

Getting married to myself at 30 years old was the most beautiful commitment that I’ve made to myself. It was a commitment to continue to grow and heal. A commitment to center my feelings. I love me! Everyone always asks will I have to divorce myself to marry a man but the real question is why do I need to lose me in order to be married? If I have to divorce myself for any reason, it’s not for me! Would you ever marry yourself?

Memories! Last years NAACP image awards #naacpimageawards

I used to feel ashamed of loving my body and embracing my own sensuality because of the way modesty and fatphobia were projected onto me. People saw me and decided I should be their mother, their nurturer, their safe space. I was never just a young woman existing, feeling, and moving through life like anyone else. But the truth is, I’m supposed to live my life, not shrink myself to fit into someone else’s expectations. Tell a friend to tell a friend, I'm NOT the mammy

This month, @girlsintheknow featured a message from @amapoundcake. She's facilitated a workshop to empower young girls to embrace all of their emotions and stages of self worth. It was titled "I am Enough". We always need reminders that confidence isn’t a destination! It's a journey with highs and lows. Sometimes, growth requires sitting with discomfort and acknowledging the tough moments. You won’t always feel your best, and that’s okay. True confidence comes from embracing every part of your story, not just the polished moments.

One thang about me, I'm going to be cute. I don't care if I'm sad, triggered, or going to see the Pastor, I'm going to be cuteeee

Soft, yet unbreakable. Bold, yet graceful. Healing, yet already whole. Reimagine me - not as who I was, but as who I’m becoming. photos by the queen herself @kossinacreative_boudoir
