Pussy Day

Happy International Women's Day!!!!! 

I am taking a Hip Hop class at SF State and today we had a pretty special guest. Her name is Rocky Rivera and she is a female rapper, but she is also a journalist and I'm pretty sure she is a teacher too. She is a feminist that moves people through her music and I think that is amazing. In class a couple of her songs were played and one of them was Pussy Kills. She turned a word that is usually used as a derogatory term into an empowering word for women. I thought is really amazing that she could change the whole meaning of a word in one song. I will never use the word pussy in a derogatory way ever again.

After class a bunch of people were going up to her and taking pictures with her and I wanted to but I was way too shy and I didn't know what to say. I think she is coming back again, so when she does i'll be prepared to go up to her. Especially since when I got back to my dorm I started listening to her on spotify. So far I really like Still, Air Mail, Complex, Turn You, Find My Way, Brown Babies, and of course Pussy Kills.

I was a little insecure about posting these pictures, but women like Ashley Graham, Jazmine Sullivan, Mindy Kaling, Robyn Lawley, and now Rocky Rivera have really inspired me to say fuck it I'm BEAUTIFUL the way I am!

 

 

My top was an ugly dress from Old Navy that my cousin gave me. The dress just didn't flow right, but the fabric was really cool so I just cut it into a crop top. I really love it now because I don't have to wear a bra with it and it makes my boobs look fairly small which is very rare for me.

My shoes are from Naturalizer and they are conformable at first but after you wear them for too long they pinch your feet and the squawk with every step. They're sooo cute tho! So it's kind of worth it.

My jacket is from my friend Jess and its one of my favorite jackets now, so thankss Jess!

My earrings and belt are from my Mama. I'm pretty sure my earrings were hand made by an old friend of hers.  

I don't remember where I got my pants.

Anyway be confident, beautiful, and YOU.

You're already beautiful so now, if you don't already, flaunt it.
