Girl, I'm Back & Yes, I Am A Delta

I’m back… and yes, I’m a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. But this episode is not solely focused on letters. Let's talk about when you finally step into the version of yourself you used to pray for. I’m so grateful to be her. This does not mean every day is violets and roses. It just means I recognize the woman standing in the mirror a little more now. I trust her more. I honor her more. I give her permission to take up space without shrinking or apologizing. In this Season 3 reintroduction, I’m talking about growth, sisterhood, confidence, community, and the beauty of being supported while becoming. Sometimes transformation comes from alignment and finally realizing you were never becoming someone new, you were becoming more honest about who you already were. So yes, I’m back. And I’m not new to this. I’m true to this... today.
