## Caption

A year ago, I dedicated the entire month of July to a conversation I’d been avoiding for 20+ years. 🕊️

My TikTok “On This Day” just reminded me — and I had to sit with it for a minute.

Last July on The Season of Self Love, I opened up about my decision to remove my breast implants. Not just implants — my final mask. My last costume. The last piece I was still performing for everyone else.

Surgery day was August 12, 2025. I’m almost a year out now, still actively healing (recovery doesn’t move on anyone else’s timeline), but I feel GOOD in this body. Lighter. More me than I’ve ever been.

What made that series so powerful wasn’t just my story — it was the women who trusted me enough to share theirs too. That’s what self-love in community looks like. I truly Thank you all 💕🙏🏾

So here’s to living this chapter out loud. Here’s to the version of me on the other side of that surgery. Here’s to becoming. 🤍
