Born and raised in Georgia, I am a small town girl with big city dreams. Being from a timid small town, outside influence intimidated me; and the fear of failure hindered me from pursuing dreams and opportunities. My reflection was painted by how others saw me. Yet, as I evolved into woman, I adopted a philosophy for life, “Do not let your beauty come from how others see you. Your beauty should come from within. It should come from your heart and soul. Your beauty should be a gentle and quiet spirit. Your beauty is of great worth and no amount of money can buy it. There is no room for both failure and faith.” I UNAPOLOGETICALLY believe in me. I am not arrogant. I am WOMAN.
