Just a random thought... during season 12 I was lucky enough to not receive too much hate, but I did notice that the moments I recieved a TON were when introduced myself as “the Essence of beauty” in my meet the queens and jokingly declared myself trade of the season.... (1/3)

(2/3) I was met with so many messages that I was an ugly black so and so. Messages calling out my features like my nose and lips, called an ugly bitch and all because I dared to think that as a black man/queen that I was beautiful. Growing up so much imagery tells people like me

(3/3) that we aren’t beautiful as we are and we believe it. But that’s a lie. And I dont care who tells you that you arent believe me, you are. More than you know. I’m proud to be finally learning to love me and I dont care who is threatened by it. Y’all should be too
