I used to feel invisible, I used to feel like I had to work twice as hard, in fact I got told I had to work twice as hard. I spent far too long trying to change things about myself to feel accepted. It’s taken me years to finally understand. I suddenly don’t feel alone anymore. Now I know it’s enough to just be me and I’m so incredibly proud of this skin I’m in. 👸🏽
