As a bi-racial, curvy, “too hairy and emotionally unfiltered” tween and teen, Dronme often felt unseen, unheard, misunderstood or unsafe. Whether it be at her mostly white high school, in her conservative town growing up, her Black activist community in college or the white supremacist fashion and beauty culture she grew up in, Dronme never felt like she belonged. It wasn’t until she committed to a no sex or dating lifestyle, that Dronme discovered true freedom within her style, body, mind and spirit. “I spent so much time punishing her [my body] and trying to force her to adhere to the standard of beauty that was not only completely out of reach and impossible, but also objectively pretty overrated. And so now I'm just letting her [my body] do whatever she needs to do. I feel like I'm in the process of letting out this massive, murky, deep polluted breath that I've been holding since I was like 10.” About StyleLikeU If you agree that facades separate us and being radically honest brings us together, please take a moment to subscribe to our channel and share this video with any friends or family who could benefit from feeling less alone in their journeys with mental health.
