There is nothing unhealthy about taking up space in your natural form. There is nothing unfeminine about fullness, texture, roots, ancestry, culture, curves, noise, or presence.
For example, my curls connect me to a rich heritage, ancient roots, resilience, creativity, survival, beauty, and collective memory. And the more I embraced every part of myself — mind, body, spirit, culture, voice, hair — the more whole I am becoming…. This isn’t just about the hair itself but about embracing ourselves as women without apologizing for the space we take up. Even if we’re not happy with our health or body shape right now, we can still love ourselves enough to still show up and take up space, laugh, eat, move, dance, and simply be…. Self love and acceptance are key to transformation. 🔑
Real wellness is not becoming smaller to fit someone else’s standard. Real wellness is finally feeling free enough to be fully yourself.
