I wanted to caption this double trouble but in reality we’re actually two pretty agreeable people. So, double agreeable? P.S- Grateful your friendship @mdotbre 😊 I still remember being afraid to say hi to you in Freshman English. 😂 📷: @mallariproductions #friendship #nyc #fashion

One thing I want to make clear is how deceiving photos are. I love photography. I love art. But I don’t post any photos that make me look weird. 😂 In one photo I can look amazing and in the next I look so weird. I think social media is incredible but it’s important to know as we scroll through our feeds that a lot of times we are looking at carefully curated illusions. I still like looking through the pretty outfits though. 😂 Thanks for the photos Susan! 📷: @susmiles #ootd #fashion #outfitinspo

Do you know what it’s like to take a picture with a bunch of people lighter than you and literally not be seen because of bad lighting? 😱 @mdotbre and I joked about how grateful we were to take a picture with someone of the a similar skin tone and I love how our skin glows. My whole life I was told that it’s a compliment to look light skinned. I once got a comment in a video advising me to stay out of the sun because supposedly my skin didn’t look good with a tan. My dad is pretty light and what’s funny is that I learned recently that some people didn’t understand why he wanted to marry my mom, someone who was darker than him. I asked my dad and about it and despite everything culture has told us, he loves our skin color. He doesn’t tolerate it. He doesn’t think it’s okay, he loves it. I can now honestly say, I’m glad God gave me all this melanin. 😂 #tintfam #darkskin #melanin 📷: @mallariproductions

I’m taller than both my mom and dad. Growing up, instead of embracing my height, I’d slouch and subconsciously tried to be like others around me. What’s crazy is that the grass is always greener on the other side. I’ll always hear short people wishing they were tall and tall girls wishing they were shorter. But when I look at this photo, I’m reminded that there are so many reasons to love my height! It’s part of the reason I think this photo looks so cool to me. I remember Japanese straightening my hair as a kid and to my surprise, missing curly hair! I still like straightening my hair, as evidenced by this picture, but I also now love wearing it curly. What if instead of wishing for what others had, we just embraced and loved who we were created to be a little more?

Something God has been revealing to me in this season of life is the danger of doubt. I know this sounds insane to any follower of Christ, but I once took pride in having doubts about faith. I thought it meant that I saw beyond what others could see. That I thought more deeply about faith. But now I look at that doubt completely differently and realize that in many ways, doubt for me has been tied into fear. There is an incredible freedom and confidence found in slowly releasing the grip I have held so tightly on my life and choosing to trust God. Don’t we practice trust everyday? What if I constantly doubted whether I would keep my job? Or that my bed would be strong enough to hold my body at night? Doubt inevitably leads to needless worry. Instead I choose to trust God. Trust that God will work everything out in his timing. Trust that he is in control. Trust that God is who he says he is. #christianquotes #faith #jesus
