Today I am posting a few of my graphics. Graphics that helped me redefine my narrow-minded perception of intellect and beauty. I already knew this was everything I wanted to be … smart, successful, beautiful, attractive.
These graphics below, I would put in different places to remind myself of my newly expanded version of beauty and power. When I would open my laptop, a black beauty would welcome me as my screensaver or on the cover of my weekly bible study notebook I put images of cute little girls with afros. I also subscribed to Essence Magazine, where I was repeatedly shown bronzy glamour. I also made new friends; I put myself in groups of people that made me uncomfortable. I look forward to highlighting those amazing women in upcoming blogs.
More importantly, I regularly read Psalms 139 and reminded myself that I am “fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful”.

This renewal is not an overnight process it takes diligence and passion to be free from whatever is enslaving you. This is my journey, but what is enslaving you? What holds you back from doing the thing you have always wanted to do? Take a step today toward freedom and be committed to it.
