Every challenge I have faced has made me the person I am today. I am a strong, black female with many passions. I'm not afraid of doing things that are not considered "black". I treasure the fact that I can step outside of those boundaries. I am proud that I'm not perfect nor have had a perfect life. I have accepted the way I look and will embrace it. Every obstacle was placed before me for a reason. They were here to help me grow. Being in control over everything is an illusion. However, if I believe I can, then there is no limit to what I can do. My vision is set, and one day, my vision will become my reality.
