I AM


Who am I without a filter?

I AM me...

I am strong, BLACK and Beautiful. I am brownskin with brown eyes. I am white teeth with glasses. I am curly hair with acne.

I am simply me.

I am the girl you see in person. I'm not lighter or darker in person.  

I'm not photoshopped or editted but  I am Fearfully and Wonderfully made.

I was created with a purpose in mind and when I take a picture that's who is seen.

I AM purpose...

I am someone with a future, not someone looking out of a window with a black and white effect.

I am Maya Leigh Thompson. 

I am me.
