".....I keep my head up when I walk, and my back straight, with a smile. With articulation in my voice, others observe my eloquent style. I am the essence of beauty. I love, praise and feel good about me. Created in the image and likeness of God, I have beauty the whole world can see." - Excerpt from The Essence Of Beauty by Ashili Tamique
