Laetitia Adam-Rabel (Haitian-American) - Hair Loom: Hair Is Worth (embroidery, felting, and crochet, 2021)

I went to a solo pole class today and decided to wear a thong. A year ago, I couldn't imagine not trying to cover my body, but honestly, I am happy with what I see in the mirror. I have strong obliques, I love seeing how far my cavs have come (because ya girl didn't have any), and a strong upper back. As someone who dealt with constant changes in my weight management, I'm happy to say I'm fine as fuck for real. Like, I have a really hot bod, and I love her. Now when it comes to pole, ( I've been doing for a year) I wish i was farther along. I want to be a stronger dancer. The tricks are fun, but I want to perform and figure out which dance style I like most, because I like them all! I hope that in the next year, I can hone down on a dance flow that works for me, but it's hard not to compare where everyone else who has started with me is in their journey and how they have honed in on the dancing. I need more dancing classes under my belt
