After last summer, giving love a shot and then it shot me and crushed me to my car being totaled, then having major back surgery and not being able to walk, I hoped this summer would be better... but it wasn’t! Covid shut the world down. I lost my god mother. I lost my grandmother. I lost some 3 friends to covid. No time to grieve. I just found out I might need back surgery again 😢 I am currently walking on a foot that I can not feel at all from nerve damage. I watched black people get killed in broad daylight on camera and no justice was served. I lost friends I considered brothers because money became more important than our relationship. Something changed in me... the tide was rising! I decided to put my heart and soul into my craft for healing and a release! To speak up and be vulnerable honest and transparent! It was dark, really dark! I smile because I am still hopeful. I smile because it’s my life line. I smile because God is with me. I smile because weeping my endure for the night but joy comes in the morning. If you knew me, when you knew me, YOU DONT KNOW ME... Let me introduce you to the new me! #blacksummer #black #veranonegro #smile #pictureoftheday #photography #pic #picoftheday #photooftheday #photoshoot #photographer #cancer #survivor #cancersucks #cancersurvivor https://www.instagram.com/p/CGoemOilp7e/?igshid=17d5d1kdqbqoc
