Dear Friend,
Growing up as a Black American woman without an ass was
HELL. As far back as I can remember I felt
self-conscious about my body. Taunted and teased (to the point of tears) by
men, boys, family, friends and especially other (older) black women for being
ass-less did not help! Even my white
teachers commented on how small my rear end was...There was no escaping
this. To make things worse, I also had
broad shoulders to match. My clothes did
not fit me the way a woman’s clothes should fit. Bottom line, I Hated My Body. For years I struggled with poor, extremely
poor, body image and wore clothes that did not complement my athletic frame. At 46, I feel free to laugh at, embrace and celebrate
my narrow ass...
PS. Special shout out
to the fashion stylists who have finally decided to help woman like myself feel
comfortable in our clothing and the men in our lives who know how to make us
feel special.
-Please share your body Image stories with me.
Loving You & Loving Me
