Hope you all had a wonderful weekend and a Happy Monday. I didn't do too much this weekend. On Saturday I had a personal shopping gig that took up most of my day. Sunday I was suppose to accompany my husband to Jackson Mississippi for an event he had but I woke up so sick. So I stayed in bed most of the day and then cleaned. Anywho, I was beyond excited to find that I had been featured on Cherrie Amore as a dark skinned girl that rocks. YAY. I love Cherrie's blog and I love how she is inspiring ladies to embrace being dark skinned. A lot of us grew up with a complex and had to learn to love the skin we're in. Check out my feature here Thanks again Cherrie. XOXO

Describe yourself in three words: Ambitious, Eclectic and Passionate.
Tell us about your personal style.
My personal style is just that… my personal
style. I wear what speaks to me, flatters my body type and inspires me. I am a
girlie girl with a love for bows, sequins, animal prints, vintage clothing and
all things glam! I consider myself eclectic yet chic!
Who are your style icons?
I find inspiration in June
Ambrose, Solange Knowles, Kourtney Kardashian, & Carrie Bradshaw
Have you ever struggled with self-identity issues because
of your complexion? If so what are some things you did to accept yourself for
who you are and love yourself?
As a
dark-skinned kid with big lips, dark gums and small teeth, I’ve dealt with my
fair share of teasing. I can remember wishing I was light-skinned and wishing I
had “good hair.” I spent a good part of my youth wishing I wasn’t who I was. We
didn’t have all of the money in the world so my mom made due by taking me to the
thrift stores. Instead of having one more thing to be teased about, (not being
in style) I didn’t go for trends, I fell in love with vintage, I was able to set
myself apart from everyone else. Around the 10th grade things started to change
for me. I began to care less about what people thought of me and was able to
accept and embrace who I was as being beautiful. I haven’t looked back
since.
Do you have any advice for other dark-skinned
women that are struggling with accepting themselves because of the color of
their skin?
Love yourself and love the skin God has put
you in. You cant change it so you may as well accept it.
