Be Your Best Version of You

As an African American woman, I have had countless conversations where the topic "I wish I were Caucasian" has come into play. Here are ten reasons why I can't join in or agree with this ideology:

1. I love my melanin
2. I love my identity
3. I love my individuality
4. I own my flaws
5. I've accepted that my current situation is not my final destination
6. I am one of the fiercest contenders no matter the race or ethnicity
7. My heart determines how far I can go, not my skin color
8. My struggle has strengthened me beyond measure
9. I have aspired to be the BEST version of me that I can be
10. I LOVE ME

​
​No matter who you are, I challenge you to love the skin you're in and be the BEST version of you daily!
