K.B.R.
K.B.R. (Kind, Beautiful, Resilient) is actually an acronym of my name, but I wanted a fun twist. People always labeled me as a kind, beautiful, resilient young lady. I wanted to represent this and show other young, African American women that you are kind, beautiful, and resilient in this unjust world.
