In late 2011, I woke up in my dorm room with a swollen face. My friend rushed me to the emergency room only to be told that I had an allergic reaction to something. Then I was given a ton of medication to relieve the pain I was experiencing. 

Things got worse. 

In early 2012, I was flying all over to go to different doctors to see why I kept having these allergic reactions. I saw a total of seven doctors only to be told I had four different things: acne, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis and discoid lupus erythematosus. 

I let these people perform biopsies on me many times. 

I let these people draw blood too many times. 

I let these people make me feel worthless. 

I let these people tell me I couldn't be in the sun. 

I let these people tell me I wouldn't live long. 

I let these people tell me I wouldn't be able to have children. 

I let these people tell me I would be on steroids for the rest of my life. 

I basically gave these people all of my power and wore makeup everyday. 

I let these people make me feel like I didn't have anyone to talk to. 

I let these people make me feel like I was alone. 

I let these people tell me diet wasn't the cause of what I was experiencing. 

I let these people destroy who I know I am, a Diamond. 

I let these people diagnose me with LUPUS! 

Of course, I followed the given instructions on how to manage Lupus because I didn't love myself enough to do my own research. 

Then the unthinkable happened. 

In 2015, I had shingles.

I was confined to my bed, I couldn't walk. 

I couldn't bathe myself. 

I couldn't do much of anything. 

I was in pain for 60 long days. 

I had no choice but to make a REAL CHANGE! 

I went silent and isolated myself so I could hear God speak. 

I heard things that I definitely wasn't hearing from the people who have degrees to manage diseases. 

I began to follow the voice. 

Then the angels revealed themselves in such unbelievable ways. 

I listened to those angels and I took action. 

I started laying out in the sun everyday for hours. 

I stopped drinking alcohol. 

I stopped eating how I was eating (processed foods). 

I stopped hanging around people who made me feel handicapped because I had "Lupus". 

I stopped listening to people who were programmed to manage the dis-ease instead of bringing real solutions. 

I went on long walks in the woods with my good friend Joshua Jamar Larry who taught me to listen to "self". Listen to God who is with you always. 

I went to yoga classes. 

I wrote in my journal everyday how I wanted to view my life. I knew I was healthy so I kept telling myself that everyday. I wrote notes on my wall so I could read it everyday. 

I legit changed my whole lifestyle to get to where I am today. 

Now I am Lupus free and no dis-ease is in my body because I trusted GOD. 

I LISTENED TO THE VOICE WITHIN and I allowed people who was given talents to assist me on my journey. 

Listen if you are struggling with anything, let's stand up and fight! I mean it! Let's get to it. 

I am the example. 

Be Authentic.
