It looks good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am telling you for sure. And no, it’s not easy. It’s something that grows and enriches you every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s Get Into It<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is authenticity to you <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In my opinion, it\u2019s the you who doesn\u2019t care. She\u2019s funny, fly, chic, and an all-around diva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She\u2019s someone who\u2019s not afraid to just be herself and embraces it with ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone can have their definition of what authenticity means to them, but know it truly begins when you create your own definition regarding yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you embrace your authenticity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You embrace your authenticity when you decide who you are and what you’re not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It took years for me to come back center. Relearn Chandra and say, “That’s not even you”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, different life settings will change us. We go to college, meet new people, and start doing things we were never into. Then we grow older and realize, “that person I was becoming was never me anyway.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You soul-search, relearn your foundation, and adapt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For me, it began with arts and crafts. I was always that type of girl who did DIY projects. Finally, in 2025, I began to do more. I found myself falling in love with the things that once made me happy behind closed doors. The activities that were cool to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you start doing the things you love and not seek validation from others for doing them, that’s when you know. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You know you are doing them because it brings you joy, not just for other\u2019s approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I embrace my authenticity in other ways, too. By my hair, I love my natural curls, my body, my fashion, and even how I conduct my business. It’s all a working process, but it’s a beautiful one because it’s true to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
