Can you tell us a time when you might have been discriminated against? Or felt unimportant? Or a time when you had self-doubt? How did you overcome that type of adversity?
I am in the entertainment business where I work as a actress and model. I have been made to feel before that I wasn't enough. I have been told I wasn't black enough or that I would be perfect if I could just change a part of myself. Of course devastated I remember the words of my mother who constantly reminded me of how beautiful my black joy is and that I am unique. I overcome adversity by self care and self love. I am enough!!!! Affirmations are my best friend and a daily essential vitamin.

Purge. The world and the universe is undergoing a major purge. The foundations and old systems are being unraveled and cleaned. Things that no longer serve the greater good or humanity is being removed. It is ugly yet so beautiful all that is happening. We are just at the beginning but major things are shifting.
