The way she speaks alone makes me want to believe everything she says, but "I do not look like my journey" is definitely something I'll be taking with me.
-
"You are rubber, they are glue. And every ignorant thing they said about you bounces off of you, and sticks to them" Damn, that's powerful.
-
Lol I love what her mom said about her. What our parents say about us matters. It sets the foundation for our self-esteem

..."start a meaningful practice of looking in the mirror and loving what you see. Believe in what you see. If you can't love it, then respect it. And if you can't respect it, then encourage it. If you can't encourage it, empower it. And if you can't empower it, please be kind to it."" Sheryl Lee Ralph

"I do not look like my journey". As a woman of color, this resonated with me a lot.
-
I love this woman so much, she is the definition of the word "regal" in every sense
-
My entrepreneur daughter met her at this years 2023 Essence fest and she spoke a powerful word of encouragement to her which was confirmation of what others have done. She said she was walking by and she looked at her and said "Come here sweetie" and when she was speaking life over her I was speechless as I needed it at that moment." God gives us what we need when we need it. 💯🙌🏾

That grown woman energy that we ALL need!! ❤👏🏽🤌🏾🔥🔥

Making the decision to lay and bed all day today and listen to motivational videos due to being overwhelmed in life. I already feel like this video is the right start. ❤

13:25 - "I challenge all of you to start a meaningful practice of looking in the mirror and loving what you see. Believe in what you see. If you can't love it, respect it. If you can't respect it, encourage it. If you can't encourage it, empower it. And if you can't empower it, please be kind to it! The greatest relationship, the greatest one you will ever have is with yourself."

What a powerful performer. God bless you Sheryl Lee Ralph.' One of the best talks on TED. Love this. What a triumphant talk.

This moved me to tears in the middle of my pilates workout. As a middle-aged immigrant woman I have felt that pain, and shared that dis-belief in myself and it is only with age that I like who I see in the mirror. She is now my best friend and because of that I can be my best self to others. Congratulations on a well deserved Emmy, I have been a long-time fan.

She is amazing , when she shines it gives space for others to do the same
-
"I do not look like my Journey" Speaks to my core.
-

She could’ve ended it at 00:46 and it still would’ve been one of the best ted talks I’ve watched

In a long-term period of unemployment, trying to find work in a job market that I dont' think anybody completely understands, and feeling a little low today - thank goodness - I found this!
