Crossed paths with these two along the way... Winnie, introduced herself as Chantelle at a fashion event, we had a conversation where she shared her story of being suicidal due to the way she was treated by others for having vitiligo. People can be so mean. I understood that being made fun of in past for having darker skin myself, something we are just born with and can't change. I was inspired by her realness and the courage it no doubt took her to overcome that and put herself out there for the world to see. I met Stephan at an audition, when we shook hands, I remember thinking he has a lovely spirit and there was a quiet, burning intensity behind his eyes, a sweetness that I was intrigued by. I wanted to know his story...Their authenticity inspired me. All this to say, we never know what God, the universe, whatever you want to call it has in store for us. I don't believe in coincidences. Rather, I believe that every encounter and the people we meet along the way are there to help our stories unfold. I'm grateful these two are a part of mine...Thank you to Elle for featuring their stories.👏🏾🔝🙏🏾😇➡️➡️➡️➡️➡️➡️➡️➡️ #winnieharlow #stephanjames #reallife #stories #ellecanada #tenikadavis #model #actor #inspiration
