Beauty and well-being
How did you build your relationship with beauty/well-being?
T. N. I have always been told what I need to change, how I can be better. I have felt like I was never enough…never black enough…never white enough (I am a mixed woman in America where race is an obsessive thought and people like to categorize others for their own comfort) . Until one day I decided I will think for myself and be enough and radiate my desired life so that I can see my own beauty. We are all connected and our beauty really starts from our thoughts inside.
