Flawless Mag: The Nostalgia Issue

As she was lowered to the ground, I realized that I was not only saying goodbye to her. I was saying goodbye to my childhood in Saint Lucia. I was no longer a kid anymore. I was a young woman trying to find her voice and her place in the world. I realized that Saint Lucia helped me figure out who I was and who I wanted to be. I will never forget the sweet island breeze and the melanin skin. The sweet songs of Saint Lucia continue to ring in my ears. But most importantly I won’t forget my grandmother. No matter how old I get, I will never forget that I’m her girl.

Sincerely, Your Girl
