There’s so much ‘you’ to everything you do. In how you sift through what you’ve been taught and keep what’s meant for you.

How you stay true to your roots, but keep your own voice, your compass. How you draw from many playbooks but throw your own rules into the mix. Because you know who you are.

How you turn your lipstick to blush to eyeshadow to a note to self on your mirror. How you see the world and it sees you back — through kohl-winged eyes only your hands can create.

You take what was once written, and rewrite it — with footnotes, and highlights, and scribbles in the margins.

Because your story is yours for the making.
