#NoFilter

Location

Hips as wide as my nose 

everybody knows

Teeth not perfectly straight

not my best physical trait 

but still... 

this smooth melanin, these kinky curls sprouting out of my head in a fresh 4b pattern, this slick mouth that isn't afraid to tell you how it is, these huge brown eyes that may be boring on you but glow on me...

I need no filter. 

Though these imperfections may shine and you may see me on your feed looking rough sometimes...

I'd rather be me than be covered in what you want to see.

Now scroll up and down until you understand... 

you can even try to double tap as if you were in your instagram app

and hopefully by the time you've finished

you'll realize there's no fillter in this
