When I first embarked on this blogging journey, I never thought I’d be so blessed to meet the people I have or be able to travel to the places I want to go. There was a time when I used to write in private and wouldn’t ever dream of sharing personal stories or talk about religion or feminism. I wouldn’t dare take photos and post them out of fear of glorifying the fat body and being shamed. People would call me Mimi from Drew Carey and ask me why I wore so many colors for a fat girl. I was called weird and different. Made to feel bad. So I hid my talents. But once in a while, my true self would pop out. Yesterday, I told my friend, “If I allowed those people who bullied me to tell me to be who I wasn’t, I wouldn’t be Leah V. right now.” Blogging saved me. Gave me confidence. You guys give me life and the courage to keep going. My goal is to go as far as a fat Muslim girl from Detroit can go. I’m on my mogul tip this year. Despite, the current climate of foolery going on in this world. That’s definitely not gonna stop me from elevating. Go harder. Fight harder. And be you. *Birdman handrub* photo: @_its__jess www.beautyandthemuse.net IG: Lvernon2000 -- source link
