I put on a cape since I have a habit of trying to save everyone, sometimes even at expense of myself. ____________ There is nothing wrong with helping and being there for others, but if it gets to a point that people are constantly taking from you without depositing anything in return, it’s time to take a step back. Do you have healthy boundaries? —————— Photographer: @steele_shots Makeup: @iamnicholeb Outfit: @prettylittlethings _______________ #TinaRed #TheWordsmith #ItrustedMYprocess #GodMeorKarma #GMK #NMSIS (at SOPHY Hotel) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6HcAAvHsSD/?igshid=8l29jgeuyjww

“I’m the dark that comes into the light you were warned about.” ~ God, Me or Karma . . I’ve always been told I can’t hide the way I feel because of my facial expressions. When I did this shoot, @steele_shots kept telling me to smile but I couldn’t. After a brief convo, she understood why and everything fell into place. Does your face tell your true emotions? Drop a ☝🏾 if you feel my pain. . . Photographer: @steele_shots Hair: @thejazzyluxwigs Makeup: @iamnicholeb . . Special thanks to Myron at the Sophy Hotel in Hyde Park for allowing us to shoot so EARLY in the morning! ❤️🙏🏾 #TinaRed #TheWordsmith #iTrustedmyprocess #GMK #NMSIS (at SOPHY Hotel) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5ZLdnJH2vK/?igshid=11umlnah7mlot

Tina Red x Sophisticate’s Black Hair x Sipp the Surgeon x Luster’s Pink - SCurl 💪🏾 . . As a kid I always loved going to the grocery store to look at magazines at the checkout: Word Up! Sister 2 Sister, Vibe and OF COURSE Sophisticate’s Black Hair. So assisting with this project was a full circle moment for me. 😩🙏🏾 Grab a copy to read about one of the dopest barbers @sippthesurgeon to put a legendary stamp on the barber game. Thanks to @lusterpink @lusterscurl and @sophisticatesblackhairstyles for the opportunity! 💕💕 #TinaRed #TheWordsmith #SipptheSurgeon #Lusterspink #SCurl #SophisticateBlackHair (at Dreams Do Come True) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrIoaXtFku6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gx1xp76fh354
