“I came to love the richness of my deep chocolate tone.”

What do you feel is your most beautiful feature?
My most beautiful physical feature is my skin. I actually love to lay on stark white sheets and look at the contrast against my skin. I did not always love this skin mine in a world that told me that I was “pretty for a dark-skinned girl” but as I grew older I came to love the richness of my deep chocolate tone.
My most beautiful emotional feature is my sense of empathy. I often feel a responsibility to put myself in the shoes of others in order to better understand why they do what they do. This feature makes me a better friend, lover, and sister.

If you could go back and speak to your younger self what would you say to her?
To my younger self, I would offer words of wisdom around taking more risks. Risks such as loving without regard, traveling without consequence, and pursuing a relationship with Christ unapologetically.
