Her post read: “It’s my birthday and meant to be another year of growth and a chance to pause, reflect, and appreciate my accomplishments.
… but for the very first time in my life, I’m not sure how to react on my birthday. I have mixed emotions and had to cancel my ‘all glam’ shoot. It took nearly an army for @xdelccystitches and @officialkbmakeovers to successfully get me robed in this fabric. It’s not an actual dress.
All glory be to God for the gift of life and the amazing people in my life comprising of my loved ones and you, my amazing fam.
Dear Lord, you already know my special request on this day, please grant it.”
