TITTY PICS
I dont send nude pics.

Never been my thing.
Youd believe me if I said either of those.
However, only once have I been able to attain a pic even remotely resembling that.
All this time, black women have been wearing the bras, panties, and nylons of white women.
I know someone just read this and is confused.
Nude has forever and a day solely been based on the skin tones of white women!
From Band-Aids to ballet shoes to lipstick.
Nude was never about the fact that there are all different types of skin tones.
Finally that is changing.
We may also want to wear dance shoes that elongate our lines by continuing our hue to the toe!
We may also want to wear a Band-Aid that attempts to be inconspicuous!
I dont even know how they cooked up twenty-five shades of no-melanin pantyhose!
The time has come for a shift in that paradigm.
Black women are out here.
And we want our Spanx to match our skin tone just like everybody else!
GLOW ON
I believe that everybody has a candle within to guide them.
Some people seem born with theirs aflame.
Yours may take a few attempts.
Deciding to do the work is your choice, and with choice comes freedom!
