Society defines beauty by the color of our skin, our eyes, our shape, and our appearance. However, true beauty is not beauty created by facial and body alterations or based upon cosmetics, clothing etc. Beauty is a gift from God. Society’s definition of beauty has created an inferno of self hatred. I recognize the destruction of our spirit in the beauty industry. A segment of Black society, believes that the lighter complexion is better and that straighter and longer hair is more acceptable. We are destroying each other… Beauty is not the texture of your hair or the color of your eyes. True beauty is defined by your spirit, and the depth of your heart and soul.
In addition, beauty is the essence of YOU. Embrace the gifts that God has given to you. Hair does not define you. You define your hair. Please allow your true beauty to capture others. Please do not allow the deception of ads, magazines, and television shows to alter your spirit. The chains and shackles that were once used to prevent us from freedom are used today psychologically. We are mentally bonded. Free yourself, free your community, and free our people…. I encourage you again to define you. Please ask yourself these following questions.
Who are you? Do you allow society, your family, and friends to define you? Are you defining yourself by your standard of beauty or society’s? When you look in the mirror, what do you see? Are pleased with how you look? Do you want to change your lips, eyes, or hair texture? If so, why? Please take a moment everyday to look in the mirror and tell yourself how beautiful you are and how beautiful you will always be in the world. Love God first but love yourself!
