00:04It is important for women to have their one style staple that makes you feel super special and
00:10confident when you wear it. At the end of the day you're the only person that can make yourself feel
00:15good. My secret weapon for empowerment is my lazy oaf dress. This dress is really empowering because
00:21first of all it says lazy oaf all over it, second of all it's very form-fitting and it makes
00:27it
00:27hugs all of my curves, it makes me look really hot, it makes me feel really hot. From where I'm
00:31from in
00:31the Dominican Republic people think that straight hair is beautiful and curly hair is not. Once I
00:36moved here ten years ago I discovered that I'm beautiful just the way I am with my curly hair.
00:41I got my leather jacket a little over a year ago. I was walking downstairs at my job and I
00:49saw it on
00:50the free table where people tend to just add anything that they just don't need and I saw
00:56it and it was in my size and it was the only thing on the table and it's been with
01:01me ever since and I
01:04love it. Some people have a tendency to kind of hide their natural beauty behind hair or clothes or
01:10whatever it is so what I've started to do is throw my hair up in a high pony. This allows
01:15me to kind of
01:17focus on my natural features so what I like to do is take some black mascara and eyeliner and kind
01:24of
01:24create this like cool like cat eye and then compliment that with some bold red lipstick.
01:30The first time I wore this dress was on my first day at a new job and I was kind
01:35of nervous about
01:35it because it's very bold it has the word lazy on it but everyone had a really good reaction to
01:42it
01:42and everyone remembered me after I wore it. I got my nose pierced when I was 18. I don't know
01:46there's just something about it I think it has a lot to do with the fact that a piercing and
01:50what that
01:51symbolizes it's not an easy process it's one that's slightly painful so to endure that and it shows on
01:58your face just to me shows a sense of resilience and strength and I just like a fucking badass with
02:05my nose ring. Each one of these pins represents a person in my life that is super incredibly special to
02:12me. We all have different idiosyncrasies that make us special so why not use something to enhance that
02:18idiosyncrasy even further with your physical appearance. My secret weapon for empowerment is
02:23my curly hair. My secret weapon for empowerment is a high pony, a fierce cat eye, and a bold red
02:30lip.
02:30My secret weapon for empowerment is my leather jacket. My secret weapon for empowerment is my nose ring.
02:37What's yours? Don't let others tell you what beautiful really is. You are beautiful.
