I was a little nervous about my dress this past weekend and it being my first gala and here I was showing off all my tattoos… but at the end of the day, I am who I am and the way I look is how I look. I am an over-thinker, so please indulge me. My tattoos don’t deter me from my career and experience or know-how. Or shouldn’t. I did get some awkward stares from the older crowd in the room, especially if this was their first time meeting me. What happens though when you don’t show up as your true authentic self because you are either hiding certain parts of yourself because of shame or because you feel like you won’t be fully accepted? I feel that it would create a false sense of belonging where you either feel like you don’t belong at all, or you belong but it really isn’t your space or you feel like everyone is against you. Showing up as me and being honest to myself and others about who I am is always my goal. And honestly, I felt great about it all! 🇲🇽🤠 #mexicana #br...
