So this is me with my first wig from luvme fresh out the box. Little styling was done and all I did was brush it out and bouncing curls appeared! I felt so beautiful and confident and received a lot of compliments when I launched this for a Sanrio themed outfit. I will be getting my hair from these people from now on because the ✨quality✨is unmatched and better than any other wig brand i’ve used.

slowly getting back into cosplaying and decided to do my girl marin. took a mental health break from it as I was receiving negative racial comments in the past, but decided to start over again. reminds me how much i love bringing characters to life in my own little way 🫶🏽
Slowly getting back into cosplaying and wanted to do a My Dressup Darling one right out of hiatus. Marin is such a cool chic and I wanted to try and pull off her energy here. I put my own touch with a silly fb filter 😆 I hope I did her justice. more cosplay info on my bio 🫶🏽
Just wanted to basically yell into the void that being a minority inside of a minority group (something that just seems to happen to me since forever, even with being a black alternative girl) is hell.
It’s so so hard finding people who get it, finding *your* people. Lesbians make up about 1-3% of the population and black people are just 13% of the population. Finding other black lesbians is like looking for a needle in a silver haystack. I want a girl that understands the sht I’ve been through in my life, how it feels to live as one and experience racism from both nonblacks and other black people just for being different. Throuought my life I never felt like i belonged anywhere. And there are times even in LGBT spaces: I still feel like an alien. I’ve still faced microaggressions and racism from queers. It’s like some of them think their queerness cancels out their racism and privilege.
I know as a black women statistically we aren’t most people’s first choice. That’s fine by me. I’m not out here trying to be picked by just anybody. I want to be intentional. I want to be loved for who I am without my race being an issue, without feeling like I gotta be someone else just to be attractive or loved. but sometimes i stg it’s so hard. Finding a community has been a struggle and honestly i don’t know when that struggle is gonna end.
Since someone decided that my picture being attached to my rant was a bigger issue than the actual rant about the racism and alienation I’ve faced in the community I have decided to repost.
I came here looking for support and community and the moment I started getting any it gets removed over me daring to put a face to the struggle.

I haven’t really done an inspo look before but for my cousin’s birthday/prom the theme was Sanrio and obviously I chose the goth girl character (which is my fav in the whole franchise).
I don’t normally take a lot of pictures or anything but I felt kinda pretty yesterday lol. Did I do a good job? 🫶🏽
