There is just Ayesha Karim and her mirror or the mirror and lucky for me self acceptance. I felt like I was in a war with forces that oppose me in the mirror just smiling and feeling good about Ayesha. I remember being in the mirror and feeling like someone saw me smiling and really didn’t like that I liked myself so much. It’s just me and probably the old me that feels the old negative life and old stifling energy. Most people who know my past would say look at Ayesha accepting herself and smiling at her own reflection those are just such wonderful things for an African American woman like her to do.
I felt like I was in a battle with opposing forces.
