Women of color are constantly being ignored and underrepresented in all industries and business is no different. This September, For The Breast of Us, focused on #BaddiesinBusiness.
My goal in life is to leave a legacy for my children to be proud of
Listen, I am here for a good time. I’ve been blessed to be here and I’m going to live everyday!
When I look at myself I don’t see me. I just see a person. A year into this journey, my body has shown me how strong it is.
Ever since the development of my breasts, my identity and self-worth have been attached to them.
This change to our bodies and the scars we now have reminded me of this Japanese art form called Kintsugi, which puts broken pieces of pottery together using lacquer and gold.
You might have to get a second opinion, but there are options for thin patients to do natural tissue reconstruction. But the cost of doing natural reconstruction is you’ll have a new set of scars. In the end though, I believe it was worth it for my body.
How I began to slowly fall in love with my body and redefined what sexy is to me.
I put out an APB for my Sexy, unsure if it could actually be brought back but I was willing to do the work to get it back.
