The way I love myself today has transformed so much. after a long time of shrinking myself and seeking validation, I discovered i had empowered everyone else’s opinion about my body. Today I am able and welling to stand in awe and wonder of my body - and it is through choosing myself that I meet my beauty at this time. I see myself, I celebrate myself and support myself in ways no one else ever will. Self-love is no ordinary love. Be open to what self- love could be for you, be patient when it doesn’t present itself immediately and be free from what it should be - simply honor + love it for what it is. I can’t tell you how it will feel tomorrow. I can’t tell you what will feel difficult or what will come with ease, but keep showing up. Im constantly finding my way around my body allowing the heavy layering of this journey to remind me of the power in choosing myself. What was once foreign to me has now become home. These words will remain a reminder that I am my own before I am anyone else’s. It’s no longer in my nature to settle for the false opinions of others - I prioritize love and that looks like choosing myself. ••• T-shirt from @lulutho_zono Of @respektshirts ••• Share with me below In what ways do you choose yourself everyday??

We revisiting and retelling their stories (some gone some still alive )✊🏾 . . . . One of them that we had to bring with to #dakarfashionweek is #queennandi the greatest woman that the Zulu nation has been very fortunate to have - woman of courage, strength, resilience, strongest will and who made decisions and stuck to them. . . . . We will never forget her and it's an honor to pay tribute #runwiththekween to find out more about this, leading to the release of the krowns series. . . . . #queennandi perfectly fit for #day1 in #dakar for fashion presentation hosted by @adamaparis at the #franceembassy a day before #dakarfashionweek . . . . #iwasneverreadymyself #senegal #fix #fixindakar #afrikankrownsseries #runwiththekween #kwenafix #kwenasays #itsabouttime . . . .
