as a black belt martial artist, it has always been instilled to set forth a masculine persona, which led to me being ashamed of my femininity and my body. this past year, I’ve finally learned to embrace my body through dance and expressing myself in a way that I’ve always felt fearful to face; let alone share with the world. all I know is that 10 year old Rayna in her Tae Kwon Do gi would be proud of the woman she’s becoming. to all of my women out there - feeling sexy is powerful and being sexy is badass. osu DC: @samantha_long_ @athreatleague #TheATHREATLeague
