I had to find a way to make since of it all.
The struggles, the difficulty choices, the unfortunate circumstances…
The good days, the small wins, the victory in spite of the odds…
All of it was part of me, part of my journey, and part of my story.
Instead of hating the story of Nakeia from the projects, who grew up with her teenage parents but wasn’t raised by them…
The story of heartbreak, rejection, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, illness…
The story of a girl who had to figure out her purpose in the midst of circumstances that seemed to have no purpose at all…
…I chose to embrace it. I chose to learn from it. I chose to be inspired by it. And I chose to use it to be better.
I am convinced of this:
Behind every strong woman is a story that gave her no other choice.
Behind every dope woman is a story only she can tell.
