50 never looked so good. ✨

This past year, I fought breast cancer, survived treatment, came out stronger, and decided I deserved a celebration BIG enough to match the victory.  So obviously, an amazing photoshoot was required. 💁🏽‍♀️📸

What a year it’s been: hard, humbling, empowering, and unforgettable. But here I am… thriving, grateful, stronger than ever, and officially entering my “fabulous survivor” era.

Cheers to 50, second chances, and taking up space like the Queen I am. 👑💕

Let me give myself a moment to shine. The last 6 months have been the hardest dealing with my breast cancer diagnosis, surgery, radiation and recovery. I wouldn’t wish this on anyone. My body and mind have gone through so many ups and downs and there are days that I want to dwell and ask God why me?? But then I remember that I serve an Awesome God and he wouldn’t put me through anything I couldn’t handle. I’m grateful that I made it through and I’m still here SHINING and healthy. So although my skin and hair are going through it and I’m not at my ideal weight, I’m still #BlackGirlMagic.  This whole look was a vibe last night and I’m applauding myself for not looking like what I’ve been through!
