So tonight I decided to run to the mall to get my eyebrows did. I threw on something and headed out. As I was walking to my car I realized I didn’t put on a bra! I thought of Sister Veejah’s #sexspeaks story about living bra-free life and it was her words that pushed me to just go with it. In a moment of courage I said, Aww Fuck It!
I kept it moving. I was self conscious as I stepped into the mall (are they Jiggling? do i look flat chested?), but I soon realized no one was even looking at me. I got my eyebrows did, bought two cute pieces at New York & Co., and stopped by Kmart-izzle feeling free and comfortable.
As women we are so ingrained with gender roles and having to contort our natural beauty to make men more comfortable or fit within socially constructed “norms.” I hadn’t left the house without a bra in 50 lbs and tonight made me realize I can do it more often. My accidental act of defiance made me feel like I had more power over my body and I liked it! So, sisters over 30 let ’em breathe. Put them Tiggo Bitties In The Air!
