'Being lectured about my decision to get filler like it is abhorrent, anti-Black, and not what Black women are 'supposed to do can feel like I deserve to sit on the naughty step reserved for Black women who go against the grain.'
who revealed to her 862,000 followers that she got filler to get rid of her gummy smile, she said:
"I spend a lot of time on camera, I’m presenting, I am interviewing and my problem is when I laugh, I cackle. I throw my head back, my lip disappears and all you can see is my gummy smile. It was so annoying, so I got Botox [lip lift] at the top of my mouth and filler in my lips. Because of what I do, I see myself on camera so much, you start noticing things about your face.
Women like myself aren't about pleasing other people, it's about making myself feel good. Fillers are just an enhancement and it's the way only I see it, so I am not relying on other people’s validations to tell me it looks good because most people don’t notice. For me, it’s not a question of whether I love myself. There's nothing wrong with perfecting or tweaking my appearance. I'm a big girl making big girl choices and for Black women who have been denied access to beauty and all its privileges, it’s an opportunity to do what you want on your own terms.
