Sooo I’ve been struggling with building my audience on my photography on instagram because Instagram started this stupid idea where 20% of your follower count see what you post and you have to PAY for business promotions in order to increase your follower reach. Thats’s bullshit on so many levels, I swear people find a way to monetize EVERYTHING! Anyways, my IG is @cocaocurlz and I never come to disappoint with my pictures and sometimes I give really good advice on my stories. So be on the look out. Take a few seconds to come and support and give me a follow! Much love and Peace✌
I recently saw an Instagram/ Tiktok post that was titled: “5 ways that black women can level up their looks” it said things like: always have your hair done, always have your nails done, invest in designer bags and so on and so forth (as IF we even NEED to level up)
I’m just here to say be YOU! if having your hair/nails done is you and it it makes you feel happy and comfortable, all the power to you! If you feel good in luxury, I hope you live lavishly forever. But let’s not pretend like that’s the ONLY acceptable type of black woman we should all strive to be. Everyone is different and we’re all gorgeous in out own way. One person’s self care can be luxurious items and another person’s self care can be going on long hikes, or pottery or other things that aren’t so clean and polished.
These stereotypes pit women against each other and make girl either feel like they HAVE to strive to be one thing, or that they’re better for not being like that. (Aka the “I’m not like other girls mentality) we are all in it together let’s just uplift each other.
