When doubt creeps in I hold on tight to my ancestors because they are my greatest motivation. Our very existence is proof of their prayers. Our successes come from the stock made from their blood and their sweat. And I am very much aware of the systemic inequalities that dance around every single industry known to man, made to leave the melanated in a state of oppression and lack. But the funny thing is we're NEVER lacking! History (told and untold) proves that this world would be flavorless without us. We are the sauce. So, as I am reminded daily of all the ways I can't be successful and the fear based thoughts begin to prevade my mind; that burning fire...that passion in my heart reminds me that success is the best revenge. It's non-negotiable. It's not even debatable. #FlexEveryAngle #HERSHEBEAUTY #successisthebestrevenge #successmotivation #keeppushing #nothingcanstopmechallenge #nothingcanstopmeimallthewayup
