What are your best qualities?
I am really thoughtful, that also ties into my good memory. I love that about myself- that I have such a good memory. I think I remember things so detailed because I really am thoughtful. I think about interactions so much in the present moment, so then they are easy to recall. Communication. I also like that I stand up for myself. I always feel like I can really rely on that inner strength.
Do you have any undesirable qualities?
Procrastination. I can really put things off, and it can really hinder my success trajectory. I like to think I am really open minded, but that’s only towards the things I agree about. I am really opened minded with other open minded people, and so I get impatient with people I don’t agree with. Lastly...I love drama. I love a good gossip sesh.
What do you love the most about your body?
I want to say my heart. I have a really big heart, and I love “love”.
Describe the moment you began to accept your body...
I swear college graduation was such a pivotal point for me. Hearing people speak nicely about themselves makes such a difference. I remember one night, something just clicked and I had this moment of, “oh my gosh, I love myself!” I think it’s just something that comes from maturing. Now I feel pretty damn good about myself. Now, I don’t really care about people who put a high premium on size.
What makes you feel the most beautiful?
I like when I have a glow. I love feeling like I am radiating. No make up, natural. It is a feeling.
What was your self-love journey?
It’s had a lot of highs and lows. I was really bad at taking care of myself in college. I surrounded myself in such an environment where a lot of women were looking at their aesthetic with such scrutiny. It made me pretty uncomfortable and self conscious. All which manifested into not taking care of myself, nutrition wise and fitness wise. And then, my sister and mom were very worried about me. Although I met with someone, it was still something I struggled with.
