As a young woman I was obsessed with dreaming big. I had the opportunity to read things like @essence and see and hear stories of black women doing things that were viewed unimaginable. I got the opportunity to see black beauty and visionaries be comfortable in their own skin. Growing up in a white community these stories pushed me to be proud and succeed. One of my dreams was to start this brand and attend this festival. Immediately upon my arrival @iammikkitaylor sits right next to me. There are not too many times I fan out but this was one of them. Black women you can do whatever you want and to the new generation of influencers like @themattiejames @xaylibarclay @gabbifresh @clairesulmers @vanessa_kdeluca @corimurray who keep reminding me to dream big thank you.!!! #essencefestival2017 #peachvalley #iamsashaasmith If I meet @clairesulmers and @corimurray my dreams and birthday will be complete. Where are you? #yesgirl
