Hi!
You can call me your Phavwryte 😉😉😉
I am an African lady who is still trying to figure things out.

As a young growing lady, I had been often questioned about myself worth and basically lacked self confidence. I always felt I was too black, too fat, too tall and felt i was overall unattractive.

I mean i felt who would find me attractive?
I grew way too matured physically and by the matter of exposure more advanced than most of my mates.

But I knew for sure I had an attractive voice. A voice that made people want to always keep talking to me. A voice that "turned people on". That was all it took for me to change the way I talk.

I grew up in a very close and supportive family but the pressure to end up as a responsible lady and someone whom my little ones looked up to, I must say was extremely high.
Sometimes, I just wanted to be me, free and just young.
I wanted to grow and not grown.
I wanted to be me.

But I really felt that if I gave me the chance, I would mess things up and probably end up, well... not so well.

I took sometime out to try and discover the real me, the true me. The me that's in me but has been hidden all these years.
It's quite amazing what I found.
I realised that I had been missing out on a huge part of my life.
I realized that there were so many risks I could take even if the consequences are severe.

I realized that I was the one with the soft heart but strong mind.
The one with the ability to break and soothe with words.

I realized that I loved been real and natural. I could be all serious yet had a child mind. I could be playful yet disciplined. Polite and yeah, extremely rude.

On the journey of discovering me, most of all I realized that there could only be one me and that's me, and there would be no other me than me.
I could be anyone I want to be.
I could be the perfect example of the people of whom I want to meet in people.
I could be me and that's absolutely enough!
