I don't do drugs, I hardly ever drink, I've never committed a crime - and yet I'm a bad role model for being proud of my body? It always seems to come back to my sextape. Yes, a sextape I made 13 years ago. 13 YEARS AGO. Literally that long ago. And people still want to talk about it?
I lived through the embarrassment and fear, and decided to say, "who cares, do better & move on". I shouldn't have to constantly be on the defense, listing off my accomplishments just to prove that I am more than something that happened 13 years ago.
I am empowered by my body. I am empowered by my sexuality. I am empowered by feeling comfortable in my skin. I am empowered my showing the world my flaws and not being afraid of what anyone is going to say about me. And I hope that through this platform I have been given, I can encourage the same empowerment for girls and women all over the world.
I am empowered by my husband, who is so accepting and supportive and who has given me a newfound confidence in myself. He allows me to be me and loves me unconditionally.
I feel so lucky to have grown up surrounded by strong, driven independent women. The life lessons I've learned from my sisters, my mother and my grandmother, I will pass along to my daughter. I want her to be proud of who she is. I want her to be comfortable in her body. I don't want her to grow up in world where she is made to feel less than for embracing everything it means to be a woman.
It's 2016. The bodyshaming & ****shaming - it's like, enough is enough. I will not live my life dictated by the issues you have with my sexuality. You be you and let me be me.
I am a mother. I am a wife, sister, daughter, an entrepreneur and I am allowed to be sexy. #happyinternationalwomensday
