My Vibrance...this is the shoe I wore on my

Wedding Day

I have journeyed on my path for 18 years now. During my walk, my individuality was taken from me. I went from a once colorful person to being grey.

I no longer walk that path. I am letting my voice be heard without worrying about repurcussions.

I want my vibrance to be seen. It has been hidden or denied for so long.

I am able to be me and show all that I am.
