As a rape victim I’ve always been self conscious and feared what others may think of me. Being accepted, doing things to seek attention, and doing things to feel loved was always my priority. In 2017, I ended an emotionally draining, unsupportive relationship and was let go from my job while being a caregiver/ support system for my mother who was fighting breast cancer at the time. I lost myself. My identity. My self worth. Paparazzi has helped rebuild my self confidence and allowed me to help others do the same. I’m able to be the bright light in someone’s day as they are in mine. I’m no longer dimming my light to fit in with others. I’m just going to hand those who can’t handle it some shades and keep shining! Look Good. Feel Good. DO Good.
