My freckles make me beautiful. It’s been a long time coming, but I’ve finally learned to love and appreciate how unique they make me. No camouflaging foundation for me!
My inner and outer beauty is a warm SMILE.
After 38 years of life, I have come to realize that what makes me beautiful is truly what can not been seen with the human eye but definetly felt with the heart.
My faith in God and the assurance of salvation makes me beautiful. The knowledge that I am complete, whole, and ultimately made in His image, secures this understanding. Put in this humble, yet most profound perspective validates one’s sense of self-efficacy.
Because I am created in God’s image and because of the hard work and sacrifice of countless Black women before me, I am TRULY beautiful!
My laugh makes me beautiful. There is nothing more pleasant that to be in the presence of someone who can laugh and does not take the world so seriously. That person gets it. I get what life is truly about. And I plan on enjoying every minute of it until God calls me home.
The thing that makes me beautiful is the my ever forgiving mind and soul. I have been through so much in my life and through it all God has given me the gift of understanding people in different views.
I think that my hair makes me beautiful. I believe that every kink, curl, wave and ringlet helps define my face. The fact that my own hair makes me beautiful makes me happy and proud of myself. I’m proud of myself for embrassing my black roots. I’m proud of myself for not going to the store or salon, and getting a relaxer or perm. My skin also adds to my beauty, because with the color of my skin comes hard trials, and when I’m going through these hard trials I get stronger and stronger, therefore I become beautiful. So basically since my parents created me the way I am they made me beautiful.
My confidence and poise makes me beautiful. I could be running errands with a scarf on, going out with girlfriends with a “bouncing and behaving” hairdo or wearing a conservative hairstyle for a business presentation, my confidence always come through. Then, once you enter a space poise, for a woman, is like a brother’s swagger. If I present myself properly everyone notices and wants to know more about me!
