Growing up I didn't feel like I belonged in this world much less my body. I am the oldest of 5 and my family and I immigrated to the United States when I was 6 years old. I was the only black girl in my school until the 11th grade. We didn't know a word of English, I started first grade not knowing a word.. I was so scared.

Fast forward 3-5 years ago I was still not loving myself. I wanted to escape and run away from my life because it didn't feel good. Even as a child, I felt so much disapproval and dislike for myself stemming from self image. I hated being different. I did everything I could to fit in.

The fear of judgment held me back from expressing myself fully. I wanted to hide, paralyzing fear kept me from showing up as my true self. I allowed others to put me in a box and I did everything to make others happy and feel comfortable.

I developed a need to please everyone so that they would like me, approve of me and finally accept me. I call it the Disease to Please, saying yes when I wanted to say no.

Over the last three years, I decided to quiet the noise and find my true self. I went on a journey alone and what this did for me was it helped me to find my own voice. For the first time, I could be the unfiltered me. I made my own choices without worrying about other people’s opinions for the first time.

I fell in love with my own voice and began to delve into my past to find my voice throughout those years that did so much harm. I found my inner child and helped her to heal. I appreciated and loved her and I healed her. In turn, I healed myself as an adult as well. I returned home as a brand new person and I decided to help people just like me.
