So idk why I feel the need to tweet this but maybe my journey can help someone else. I may seem confident now, but I used to hate this body. I could barely look at myself in the mirror. I used to ask God “why me? Why do I have to look like this?” I never understood it. 1/?
Us freshman really need to feel out A&M more before we form a negative opinion and blast it on Twitter. Join clubs, get involved, put yourself out there. The student life is there, you just have to dive into it.

I know y’all been stuck on those blazers all day and I understand, but we’re not going to let A&Ms court get away with showing up dressed as The Clark Sisters.
One thing about GM, we’re gonna be in charge. When you see SGA, the Divas, University Echos, Royal Court and multiple clubs and organizations on camp, etc, your gonna see my sisters running stuff. Period. 💕💚
AAMU congratulates Miss Sophomore Emilie Harrell, for winning a $15,000 McDonald’s Black and Positively Golden Scholarship. The communicative sciences and disorders major was one of 34 HBCU students to win the scholarship through McDonald’s & the Thurgood Marshall College Fund.
It drives me crazy to watch the SGA and student activities board tirelessly plan events just to have like five people show up. Then people claim “there is nothing to do at A&M.” There is more than plenty to do y’all just don’t come out.
I have two Black brothers. I also have a Black father. Most of my male friends are Black. If any of them died you would have to burry me with them. Please stop killing us. I don’t want my loved ones to be a hashtag. Period.
I tried everything to change myself. Especially in middle school. I hated that other girls could just be “beautiful”. No effort, no diets, no exercise. They just woke up skinny. (It took me a long time to realize that skinny and beautiful are not synonyms).
It wasn’t until this year that I realized how God is using me and my journey. I can fight him on it all I want but his plans for me will always exceede my expectations. At some point I had to step back and realize that this is my body. I can’t change it overnight.
