Sit here today and write about what I have been through and what I have experienced to shape me into the woman that I am today. In primary school, I wasn’t your typical girl, picture a dark skinned, fairly tall girl for her age who wore a scarf and was a buzzing tom-boy all in one. That was who I was and I struggled with it but mainly because I was larger than everyone when I say everyone I mean, everyone. The boys were scared of me due to my height (I think was due to the fact that they were jealous of my height LOL!).

The girls well they accepted me for who I am but obviously, they could tell I wasn’t into the same things there were such as running to the corner of the playground and performing the latest single released by Girls aloud or the Sugababes. I was more into playing with bayblades and doing cartwheels in the grass and getting my tracksuit dirty with grass stains. I honestly think I became a tomboy due to how close I was with my little brother and tried to play catch up with him, I should blame him for my struggles in primary school really.

But as you can see I’ve made it through my tomboy ordeal and many other obstacles that I had to face in terms of learning to accept who I was, rather than altering who I was for people to then begin to accept me. It was not an easy journey I am still embarking on it as I type, I face new challenges each and everyday just when I think I have conquered one.

Throughout this blog, I will be taking you through memorable moments in my life that have raised me up, as well as moments that caused my confidence and self-belief to plummet.

This is only the beginning I cannot wait to open up and touch on subjects such as social media and how celebrity lifestyles have had a huge impact on the way I thought about the world whilst growing up.
