@_alexelle this is so beautiful that I started crying. It's unbelievable how people want us to hate ourselves. Thank you for posting this.

@_alexelle I am in love with this little girl. She's so cute. Kids are cruel, they try to tear the most beautiful souls down. Perfect mom.

When I saw @alex_elle post about having her daughter say positive affirmations after being teased for her beautiful dark brown skin I was immediately inspired. This is the reason I started this Instagram. Our children need to see positive images so they know how beautiful and amazing they are no matter what others say. I know from experience growing up as a little brown girl what it feels like to search for images to identify with and finding nothing. I hope this image is a reminder to all little brown girls to look in the mirror and say out loud all of the amazing qualities they have and never forget they have #blackgirlmagic ✨👧🏿👧🏾👧🏽✨
