in 2019, Wellness is my portion. I will settle for nothing less. currently, i am building a wellness team to carry me through the new year. in doing so, what i am finding is that Black Women are my safe place. Black Women have raised me educated me loved me inspired me healed me corrected me disciplined me encouraged me Black Women have given me permission to be myself. to show up, to be free. Black Women have challenged me to think differently. to center myself. to not take bullshit. for that, i will always honor, love, cherish, and respect Black Women. i will always wear this beautiful skin proudly, and will always be proud to be identified as a Black Woman. We are Magic...always have been...always will be. 💖 ~Lauren Ashley
