I remember when Cardi B turned up at NYFW and people said her career was over. 2 years later, she’s still here. Sometimes being authentically yourself is the only way to be. https://twitter.com/bartierstan/status/1250249176039948288

I’m a firm believer in “I’m not for everyone”. I (personally) will never be a slave to who people expect me to be or the vision they created in their head of who they want me to be just to make them comfortable to support me. If I can’t be myself then I don’t want it.

When you are genuine, have good intentions, and have strong work ethic.. no amount of people not liking you will stop your blessings... none!

No matter how many times she gets dragged by strangers on the internet for wearing her heart on her sleeves she keeps going. And still manages to speak up for the same people that talk down on her whenever she slips up. I really admire that, I can learn from that.
