My lovely sister Leah is my freckle feature for the month of October. Growing up, I've always looked up to my sister. She's pretty, smart, and hilarious! I've never pegged myself as any of those things, so the fact that we have freckles in common makes me feel special and more connected to her. Like most of us with freckles, she didn't like them as a little girl. More so, because people of "color" didn't have them. We grew up in NY state, but, our small city is pretty segregated. So, she was "different" for yet another reason. Fortunately, things are better now and she fully appreciates her amazing freckled face! As does others. Although, we both have shared angry stories of makeup artists trying to cover them up!(again, something we share) I applaud my sister for being strong and wearing her freckles beautifully. Shining a light on these flawsome 'constellations' is so important to me, and I'm so happy to use my sister for the cause. Yayy!
