Today we are having a chat about diversity and the beauty in diversity! I titled the video “You should stop trying to look like everyone else and here’s why ” because I myself and many others have changed things about ourselves to fit certain molds when sometimes keeping the unique features/things about us that set us apart may help us have a better experience!
I’d love to hear your thoughts?

Having a child really opened my eyes to the beauty in diversity!
Infinite diversity in Infinite combinations . Star trek .
That's so beautiful and I lately have been preparing myself mentally for a child and especially challenging myself to look at how I perceive myself and my appearance. I want to be able to look at my child and preach something that i genuinely feel about myself. Loved the video! Thanks for opening up
This is so good Gwen! I was just telling someone that everyone looks the same. Everyone is aspiring to be “that girl” instead of being yourself
I’ve seen a few “that girl” videos too and I think it’s one thing to see things and feel inspired or grow into who you want to be but it’s another thing to be someone entirely different for the sake of a trend
The notion you mentioned on having a child and seeing your features in them is so true! I have a sweet little baby girl now and hearing others as well as myself talk about how beautiful she is with my features is making me slowly look at my own features in a different light.
Wow that is beautiful
🥹 that’s the best isn’t it? It’s like a full circle moment and Nise_love is right, it’s beautiful 🫶🏽
And GWEN!! You are so above average to me and you take care of your outer and inner appearance and its beautiful to witness 🥹
Awe thank you🫶🏽 that means a lot coming from you considering how much you keep up with yourself and how you take good care of yourself!
So helpful for girlies like me who is wanting to feel more confident without long weave & embracing my natural hair more!!
I’m so glad to hear it’s helpful! Keep going and embracing it 🫶🏽
That’s a really interesting thing you pointed out about how if you have a unique look, the person you choose to settle down with will most likely get the same looks and stares that you get.
I can also imagine how parenthood may make you embrace the little quirks and things maybe you once didn’t like about yourself physically especially when seeing it in your child.
I used to hate my gap (I’ve actually had braces once and clear correct as an adult) and now after all that money, I miss it 😩. I should have just embraced it all along!
It’s so funny you mentioned the gap because I had a portion of the video talking about gap in teeth and how in some cultures it’s seen as very attractive, but I took that part out 🙃
@@Offthebeatenpath. that’s really funny because one of my teachers in middle school mentioned that to me too😩😂. Also, my grandpa had a gap and a lot of people in my family have a gap, so it’s like what am I really saying by trying to cover that up? And then when I see things like that, or features like freckles on other people and I see how confidently they wear it and how good I think it looks on them, it makes me want to do better about embracing it for myself.
I enjoyed this topic! Being a Christian living in this word it’s easy to feel out numbered by what the we think is beauty by hearing and seeing the people around us but it’s important to focus on what is good and true “the word of God” and once you get ground in his word you being to understand the truth and see the world in a different perspective ☺️
It’s true and it’s a journey! Always learning, pruning, purging, and growing 🫶🏽 thank you for sharing Ciearra🤍
The title alone got my attention, but the content made me watch until the end. I love this about bw who are putting this kind of positive message out. Thank you.
This comment made my day 🤗🫶🏽 thank you!
Hey Gwen I love the topic! I'm in the beginning of your video and lol I don't know why but that set up with Jacob and Leah always makes me laugh lol his father in law was the original set uplol !! 😆😆💕💕 God is so good!
People have been trying to get over since the beginning of time 🤣
Thank you for your positivity
Thank you so much 🫶🏽
Lovely reminder- thanks, Gwen xx

Thanks gwen
Yes!!! Just starting to notice how many women dye their hair blonde.. from every walk of life. Bizarre.
I’m so guilty of this 😖
Don't feel too bad lol. Seems like everyone who isn't a natural blonde wants to be one haha. but God didn't "whoops" on our natural hair color. He specifically chose it for a reason--- it looks naturally good!! :))@@Offthebeatenpath.
Yes in Czech Republic I stood out like a sore thumb. I actually got a good experience. They wanted to know about me and wanted to know where I was from. They were intrigued and curious.😊 Geniuses is a very interesting chapter. Also I am in a space I want to have more friends as well.
I actually made two new friends at the ymca lol 😂 which I like because I know they like working out and most likely will go hiking or do outdoor activities with me lol
I also had a good experience, although I know some who didn’t. And that’s good for you! I wish we lived closer, we would def hit up some trails🤗
@@Offthebeatenpath. Hubby and I had our honeymoon in Colorado so one day we are coming back. We loved the view and feeling there. It uplifted our whole spirit. I am hoping in the future to plan a family vacation at Estes park and take my parents and mother in law,sisters and brother.
So true. Especially in the celebrity realm so many of them are starting to look the exact same, no uniqueness whatsoever. And I agree with that other commenter, you are def above average! Not only do you radiate but you can truly see the love of Christ exude from you. I love that for you!
You are too kind Bianca! That means a lot coming from you because you are beautiful! With a head full of beautiful hair 🫶🏽
P.S i like the music in the background :)
It’s one of my favorites 🥹
Great topic Gwen!
Thank you 🫶🏽
You’re in Colorado!? Meeee tooooo
Nice! It’s beautiful here😬
LOVE THE NAIL COLOR 😩💙
Great video topic 💜💜
It’s Maychao in light blue!
There was a great documentary i saw . BBC television. ( science of the human face) about beauty, cosmetics, history off . The science of things john clees from monty python and Elisabeth hury actre / model . Gorgeous woman.
I will have to check that out, I haven’t seen it!
@Offthebeatenpath. it's on venmo . The human face bbc
I was reading genesis myself in January. Look thst story
I think there is beauty in being yourself; who god made you! 🫶🏽
I would love to see a keratin routine and update! 🥰
That last video was the last time for me! I had so much shedding which I think was mainly postpartum shedding but either way, no more keratin for me! I may do an update hair straightening routine the next time I press it out!
@@Offthebeatenpath. Oh ok! Was there anything you didn’t like about the Keratin treatment or any negatives you experienced?
@@BeYoutifulBombshell no I’ve always liked that one! I just had shedding and so I decided since I’m having pp shedding to stop it with the chemicals on my hair
Nice video and topic. Pretty earrings ❤
There are beauty standards that make women look ridiculous. First, it was overlined eyebrows. Now, women are overlining their lips, making them appear as though they have been on a "пorn set". It looks silly, especially on women who already have beautiful full lips. Next year, it will be something else, and some women will hop onto that bandwagon. Classic beauty doesn't require following trends.
Women have become sheeps: follow the Kardashians, Internet "influencers" ... The list goes on and on.
Guilty of over lining 😅 and you are so right! Next year it’ll be something else! Thank you, these are my favorite earrings🫶🏽
I’m on the decentering men journey right now and just working on myself and embracing my uniqueness of being a light skin black women. I have a question for you ? I know alot of light skin black women on a channel I follow want to date out but feel like white men only like unambiguous black women due to things on social media recently. Do you feel like that was a problem when you are dating before you got a husband or you think people are just trying to do stereotypes ? I also am growing my hair out and wearing natural wigs until my hair grows longer. I stop wearing eye lashes and I still wear make up but just try to advance my natural looks. I’m a Christian also. I’m Brittany you might have remember me. I created my channel to talk about complex issues and so now I’m anonymous with my photos but curious to know what you think about this ? I believe attraction is subjective and God will bless you regardless if it’s meant to be.
Hey Brittany! Which channel if you don’t mind me asking 👀lol I wonder if that’s how it is now because when I was dating I can’t say that was my experience. In my experience men in general, white men included liked pretty woman. Didn’t matter if you looked black, biracial, white or even purple lol. With saying that I do remember not a lot of black woman(lightskin or brownskin) being into white men(at least from people I hung out with, I was always the outlier because I dated out) so maybe that’s why it seems that way 🤔But generally if you are cute and keep up with yourself and more importantly if you are a lady you shouldn’t have any issues🫶🏽 Being a Christian you may find it harder finding a genuine Christian than a man interested in your looks. It’s a lot of fakes out here but I think you’re on the right path appreciating your uniqueness, drawing close to the Lord and embracing yourself! The Lord will lead you and give you wisdom when choosing a spouse 🫶🏽 Also is this your channel? I’d love to support and subscribe!
