When it comes to loving yourself and building confidence, it starts with understanding who you are. You are a culmination of every person that came before you. You mom, grandmother, ancestors. You are shaped by the environment your ancestors came from. I’m Peruvian, so my larger rib cage came from our ability to live in higher altitudes. How beautiful is that. I’m mixed with Palestinian descent which really accentuates my dark features, that for me makes me so proud.

Another, way that I love myself is in my ability to understand what I believe in. I know my values and the morals that I have which affect every decision I make. I have built my confidence by shaping my ability to make decisions based on the foundations I have built within myself. By acting in line with my core beliefs I have built the confidence to handle every decision and direction I choose to take. Confidence isn’t just skin deep, see it’s about the abilities I have within myself to truly live a life free to be myself. I have aligned myself with what truly feels right and that makes me love myself.
