I still remember all the nights I spent praying, dreaming, and crying because I wanted to not feel like a stranger in my own body. I lived like that for 30 yearsā¦my heart and mind constantly at war with the reflection I saw every day in the mirror. Broken, depressed, and tired, I never imagined Iād ever live a happy life.
Untilā¦
I finally made the decision to be true to myself.
Almost 10 years ago now, I transitioned and it is still surreal to look in a mirror or see a picture because I never truly believed Iād be this happy or feel like Iām at home in my own body.

These photos are about 16 years apartā¦yet I look as if I havenāt aged at all š±š
I donāt share this or any other posts like this for shock value or as some have said, to āconfuseā people. This is my life and my story and believe it or not, I didnāt choose to be trans. In fact, I ran from my truth for 30 yearsā¦I prayed more than you can imagine for how I felt to go away and it never did.
Iām not here for your approval or any kind of need for you to like me or want to follow me. What I hope for, more than anything, is for you to SEE meā¦to really see me. See the joy in my eyes that wasnāt there before. See the way my smile lights up a room now. See that Iām humanā¦a person, just like you, who has hopes and dreams. A person who wants to live life to the fullest. A person who wants to play basketball and make new friends. A person that is happier now than she has ever been because when I look in the mirror, my reflection finally matches who Iāve been on the inside my whole life.
We get this one lifeā¦this one chance to make the most out of our time here on earth. Hopefully I will have made a difference for others during my time because Iām gonna enjoy my life and use every opportunity I get to inspire and educate whomever I can.
Lead with love and watch the world change š

šAuthenticity is a collection of choices that we have to make every day. Itās about the choice to show up and be real. The choice to be honest. The choice to let our true selves be seen.š ~BrenĆ© Brown~
šWhen you show up authentic, you create the space for others to do the same. Walk in your truth.š
I choose to share my journeyā¦to live my life out loud so that others know whatās possible when you let go of fear, self-hatred, and the opinions of others.

āØYou have the capability to change your life all with a simple shift in perspective.āØ
This photo was taken years ago in Dallas for my friend Raulās fashion line. It was printed in a magazine in a small ad toward the back. I thought it was cool but it wasnāt a cover or full page shot so I wasnāt that excited. At least not until a friend changed my perspective. She said, āyouāre in an ad, in a luxury magazine, as a model...thatās the goal isnāt it?ā She was absolutely right! I accomplished something big and I am still proud of that accomplishment to this day.
When I apply that same change of perspective to my life and who I am as a transgender woman, something amazing happens. Rather than hating who I was for the first 30 years of my life or resenting who I am because Iām ādifferent,ā I can be grateful for experiencing life in a way that few ever do. Talk about different perspectives!Living 30 years as one gender with a lot of wonderful memories and experiences, then living the rest of my life authentically (in my correct gender)...no longer with shame or resentment for who I am or the journey Iāve been on.

YOUTUBE VIDEO IS NOW LIVE!!!
š³ļøāā§ļøTransgender Athletesš³ļøāā§ļø
Do transgender athletes have an unfair advantage? Do we really care about womenās sports? Do we know how sports can impact our lives, especially kids lives?
With politicians taking heavy aim at trans youth this year and headlines continuously creating a negative stigma around the community, itās crucial to dive into the facts regarding trans athletes and put aside the false narrative led theories.
In this video, I will discuss how biology and biological advantages play out in the sports world, the records of trans athletes regularly heard about in the media, the importance of sports in the lives of our youth, and look at how we really treat female athletes.
Please take the time to watch the whole video! I know 42 minutes is a long video but it could have easily been 2 hours long...itās very important info and I put a lot of time and effort into it! Also...please share with as many people as you can šš¼ššš¼ššš¼

Iām beyond blessed to have parents who accept, love, and support me. Arenāt they adorable?!
I remember being terrified to tell them who I was when I was younger so I ran fast and far from my truth...all the way to a degree in Christian Ministries and into a marriage. I chased normalcy so hard that, not only did I find it, I became trapped in it. There were good moments that Iām thankful for and I wonāt regret the past because it shaped me to who I am now, but I was far from happy. As a kid, I often thought about suicide because I didnāt fit in and HATED my body so badly.
I share all of that because there are bills targeting trans youth all over the country. Many of them are targeting healthcare for those youth and trying to find ways to eliminate it. They are also targeting the parents, citing child abuse for affirming their childās identity. This all has to stop!! Trans kids deserve our protection, love, support, and help. It isnāt easy being labeled different...no one willfully chooses that ridicule. We donāt choose to be trans and our parents donāt choose that for us either. This is who we are. Listen to us when we tell you and respect that. We are not hurting you in any way by living our lives.
Those of you who are speaking up against us, no one asked your opinion. The real abuse is your discrimination, hate, and lack of understanding. Worry about the abuse your putting your children through by teaching them to hate others. Be and do better!!

Sometimes you have to look BEHIND you to appreciate the progress youāve made š
In all seriousness, it was only 9 years ago when my journey began and back then, I could only dream of having my mind and body align. The joy I have each day feeling complete is something no one will ever take away from me. So excuse me while I have a thotful moment š

āØStrength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.āØ
This encouraging post/hair commercial was brought to you by...
Just kidding, Iām def not sponsored by a hair company...it isnāt healthy enough š©
Back to the quote...the struggles I have been through in life have given me more strength than I could ever imagine. It doesnāt mean Iām excited about them or thankful for them. Iām just thankful I fought through them so I can be where Iām at today. Please donāt ever give up on yourself because you are worthy of joy and happiness and living a life that is true and authentic to who you are š¤š

I have partnered with @goligummy because Iāve always known about the benefits of apple cider vinegar but hated the taste. They have found a way to mask that awful taste in their gummies while still giving all the great benefits of apple cider vinegar such as supporting a healthy immune system, digestion, and heart health as well as helping improve energy, reducing appetite, and helping with weight management. This year has been a nightmare for most of us. I have found it difficult to workout consistently, to not snack on unhealthy food all day, and to really have energy to do anything. Iāve been taking these gummies for 2 weeks now and have already noticed a change. Iāve had more energy which has helped me be more consistent with my workouts. That has led to me snacking less (although I still need my chocolate š.)
