I don’t know what Black girl needs to hear this, but for the one that does, this is for you. I’m here for you. I am you. We are in this together. I am a Black girl growing up in America, where European standards of beauty are forced down our throats at every turn. Their beauty standards are not superior to ours. But when these are the norms, I think it might be challenging to some to stay true to our roots. Sometimes it’s easier to assimilate in hopes of being accepted. But that’s where self love steps in...this is where the love of one’s self needs to be restored. BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL! It always has been! The “forces that be” will try to teach us otherwise, but that’s just not the case.
••
First things first...we are descendants of Africa. We were blessed with features that others pay to have. The sun kisses our skin and adds depths of bronze that a tanning salon can’t touch. The sun recharges our Melanin. We are lit...literally and figuratively! ♀️ Self awareness and self-worth are everything! If we don’t teach us to love ourselves, who’s going to teach us?
••
Now when it comes to hair...
Can you do me a favor and embrace YOUR hair, no matter the texture all 2019? Please! Can you do that for me? I don’t care how long it is or how textured it is...it’s ours! You do know that “good hair” is healthy hair right? They want us to believe that bone straight hair or curly hair is the definition of good hair. Stop entertaining these lies. ••
I could go on and on, but I’ll end here...
LOVE YOUR BLACK SKIN.
LOVE YOUR BLACK HAIR.
LOVE YOUR BLACK CULTURE.

Skin first. Beautiful skin is a always a plus. Do you know anyone who’s been on a consistent skincare regimen for decades? Meet @esosabam
She is a serenely, beautiful woman with gorgeous skin. I had to ask about her regimen and I was absolutely blown away by how she’s stayed true for years.
Happy 50th birthday Ma’am @esosabam Thank you for choosing us for your birthday glam.

This is the finished “Skin” work of my private student today Can you believe this is full coverage?! Yes you can wear full coverage and still have a beautiful non “cakey” finish. Swipe to see her first work without my guidance, a lot of Instagram makeup practices I spotted and discouraged.
