"Even if it makes others uncomfortable, I will love who I am.” - @Janelle Monáe ● It took a long time to consistently stay in love with myself. I've heard it all: You're too [insert your descriptor here]. Without trying to make it sound prolific, I feel the most free when I listen to people's interpretations of what I should do, how I should do it and what's deemed acceptable, place it into a journal and label it with "wtf I'm not going to do." My life no longer have enough space for should. I am much more than potential to any individual. I am infinite. I am delicate. I am divine. I am vulnerable. I am abundant in strength but I have no desire for someone to intentionally categorize me as a superhuman. As a Black, fat, loud mouthed and queer woman, I want the privilege of having nuance. I want to be layered. I want to not be limited to one thing. Or suggested to always shape shift my emotions into something unrecognizable. I just want to be free. And freedom is truly a state of mind. 📸 W. Eric Snell - My hubby 💕 Hair: Ayinde Jenkins for @duafehairsalon Dress: @Fashion to Figure Necklace: Kosmic Kreations Earrings: Janiah B.
