In a world that encourages women to fault find, we have to defy that messaging and settle in our own skin.

I am a real woman. Beauty is an inner thing. It is not hair and makeup.

I feel the most glamorous in my natural state. I am home inside of me.

So whether I am dolled up or rolling out of bed how I feel about myself doesn’t change. What I see doesn’t change and what is there doesn’t change.

In a world where everyone wants to be a “bad bitch”, I want to challenge women to be a knowing and comfortable bitch.
