I want a roughneck. Nah, not really. One of those looks you can’t wear home for the holidays cuz your mom will fuss. Vintage lace crop from @erinjduke with boots by #ragandbone #ootd #mystyle #nikiaphoenix

Because I don’t fall into what they say is classically beautiful, doesn’t mean that I’m not BEAUTIFUL. Today @voguemagazine has a little story called “The Runways are Seriously Pretty Again- Classically Beautiful Models are Returning to the Runway”. You really need to check yourself with this coded beauty standard talk whether intentional or not. Eurocentric is not how the majority of the world defines beauty. What’s atypical or weird to you may be “classically beautiful” to others. Respect that! Xoxo, Nikia. #inspiration #lovenikia #youarebeautiful #nikiaphoenix

Learn to love yourself and every inch of your skin. You are a goddess. Talking self acceptance and sexual liberation with @xonecole. Check out the interview and get to know the real me. by @kraftedbyalexia and words by @indiebyline. #xonecole #NikiaPhoenix #freckles

European beauty standards have and never will apply to me. Being black with kinky hair and freckles, I’m not considered a classic beauty. But I still know I’m so damn beautiful. Embrace who you are regardless of what society tells you. Classic Beauty tote coming soon. #BeAuthenticBeYou #blackgirlmagic #classicbeauty #NikiaPhoenix

It is with great honor that I share with you a peak at the first edition of @crwnmag. This print publication celebrates our hair, our heritage, and our beauty in a new and refreshing way.

You can pre-order your copy now thru the @crwnmag bio. #CRWN #CRWNMAG #CRWNqueens #naturalhair #blackisbeautiful #NikiaPhoenix

Good morning, beautiful! You are a force of power. You are intelligent and driven. Before my eyes, I am witnessing you blossom into the person you’re supposed to be. Don’t let anyone block your glow. Thanks to all my friends for coming to my #BeAuthenticBeYou Party this weekend. I hope you like your new TOO BEAUTIFUL FOR BULLSH*T tote by yours truly. @revel_with, @reneeloizmakeup, @mydevacurl, and @myrahasson thank you for your love and support. The new site is live! xoxo, N. #NikiaPhoenix #toobeautiful #newthings #inspiration

Part 1 of my manifesto: There’s nothing wrong with working for other people, but what are you doing to uplift you? Think about it. A little peek of what’s coming next week. #NikiaPhoenix #inspiration #beauthenticbeyou #womensempowerment

Be authentic! Be you! Ladies, this is for us. Join me and friends as we celebrate the launch of a new beginning and a fresh start for the dreamers and the doers. I believe in empowering people especially women and if I’m going to talk about, I’d better be about it. I want us all to rise. Come out to @mydevacurl’s #devachansalon on 2/20 for this special event. Cocktails, giveaways, and words of love from yours truly. [email protected]. XOXO, N. #beauthenticbeyou #NikiaPhoenix #womensempowerment
