Challenge #4 was a definitely a harder challenge for me. When I do me, it does not include Hats and Scarves, LOL! When I am in a pinch… (I know this is bad because this is a natural hair competition)… I typically grab a Beverly Johnson wig… EEK! I know, I know! I only own one wool hat and scarf (SMH)… so I utilized my friend’s closet for her abundance of hats/scarves.
This challenge took me out of my comfort zone which is what my article, “Your Mission: To Be “Naturally You” Despite the Challenge Ahead” is all about.
Writing the article was the easiest part for me. Doing you comes from within and I have definitely been on a Life Journey discovering who I am.
Being that I am 5’11 you would think the pictures would be easier for me but I am so new to the print modeling world. I have had more experience with runway work than print.
This competition has shown my strengths and has exposed my weaknesses. This has been a very humbling experience. I am definitely going to continue showcasing my strengths and work even harder week after week to improve on my weaknesses. I am also going to start buying more hats and scarves. I discovered a new “Me” by wearing them in my photo shoot.
Vote for my article and pictures for Challenge #3 – Doing You! – Hats and Scarves!
Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving!
