The old Brooke wore fake lashes, spray tanned, was always in on the latest diet and fashion trend, trying to “fit in” and be like “everyone else”. She wasn’t comfortable in her body and that’s no surprise with the social standards that our world has created.
The new Brooke is beautiful, strong, confident and truly an inspiration. She acknowledged what she was doing to herself.
She wasn’t being herself.
She has ditched the tanning and the self-shaming and learned to embrace and appreciate her natural beauty. No matter who you are, or what you look like, we are all guilty of thinking or feeling like we need to keep up or that we aren’t good enough. How are we ever supposed to be our best “self” if we are never actually being ourself. Brooke’s self appreciation shines though her eyes and it’s the most beautiful accessory that she’s welcomed to her style. When I asked Brooke if she would let me photograph her, she said “yes” without a moment of hesitation. That is true body/self love right there. She is one to be admired. I now give you… Brooke.
