I WAS DENIED A CHANCE BECAUSE OF MY SIZE....
Hey friends and family. How has your Sunday been treating you so far! Now that we got the pleasantries out the way lets just discuss the title shall we.
Well if you do not know I have locs, I've had these thangs for going on 14 years. There have become my best friends. I mean my locs have seen me go thru it. My locs have given my confidence and assurance that I am beautiful, I am somebody and dear I say I am the shit. All vain things you may think but not at all. For a black skinny girl from Brooklyn, raised in the Virgin Islands, who was tortured by your step father, a severe people pleaser, not to mention some really bad relationships and life choices. My locs have been a saving grace.
Learning patience and doing the right thing for my hair trickled down to my life and made a drastic change happen for me.
With that being said I started getting major compliments for my hair and decided to jump on a leap of faith and submit my face, hair and body for a chance to model at HYPE HAIR MAGAZINE. I have been reading this magazine for years and even stole a few hairstyles from them, I just knew they would be me.
To my surprise I was answered with this:
The reason why I am sharing this is not for the pitty but to spread the word. The word that a no does not mean you have failed but just that you need to go down another path. Now I could've been in my feelings and cursed this person out and tell myself well this is not meant for you Shay. But no! Hell no actually! I know my worth, I know my purpose and my impact! It took e awhile to get here and a NO wont send me back to that dark place.
Friends and Family, Kings and Queens shit happens, life throws curve balls and darts. Dust yourself off and move on. Learn from that failed opportunity and go after another and another. If whatever your going after is your destiny and purpose don't let a NO or your "A LITTLE TO BIG" stop you. Put on that crown and keep pushing!
Aight im out lol!! Love you long time peace!
xoxo Shay!
