I started my social media presence as a way to cope with my life falling down around me. My husband had not only cheated on me but had built an entire life without me. And when I stood by him, he blamed me for his failures and then left me alone and with nothing in the world. My faith was crumbling. My family was absent. My future was bleak. I jumped onto TikTok with one goal: to heal something in me that was broken.
For the longest time, my brand has been all about eyeing the parts of myself that were broken and searching for a way to heal. But I recently took a hard look at myself and realized...well... I'm perfect. There's nothing broken about me. There's nothing unworthy that I need to address so that you can love me. If you see me in all of my glory and struggle to accept me, you're the problem. So we're done with that. From this moment on, I am not willing to make myself small for any of you.
Say goodbye to imperfect aesthetic...and say hello to Laani. Because she's here to stay.
Here's to a future where I have lived more days loving myself than not.
