This week is 1 year since I began my journey on HRT... a year of expansion, of ups and downs, grief and euphoria, love and heartbreak, success and setbacks. But most of all, a year of being hot & living in my truth as MICHELLE. This body, this heart, this mind, this soul, are gifts from my Creator— and deserve to be cherished as such. If you’ve been lucky enough to receive my grace, understand it don’t come easily. I have days I feel like a queen and days I can’t get out of bed, and I understand the flow of life is what you make it. Thankful to be here despite it all. Trans is beautiful, Black Trans Lives Matter always. Photos by my sis @savant.laurent
