    I Keep being who I am and as a mixed African myself i am unique and amazing,if you are voting still keep voting.
    Some people say I can’t sing,I’m fat,I’m ugly
    And it’s just something that I got used to for two years but now everyone tells me I’m amazing and Beautiful and I feel like it
    The key is to always love yourself no matter what.
    Thank you to all the role modals and even the African American ones or the one who have Color to there skin,no matter if your skin Color is white,black,brown,or blue,or all the colors out there,thank you for being great to everyone that treats everyone the same no matter what and treats everyone how they would want to be treated .
