Extraits

“My mom started her fashion company when she was only fifteen. Ladies and gentlemen, let all of that sink in.

Fifteen.

I’m twenty-three and I can hardly decide which brand of toothpaste to use.

It’s becoming shamefully easier to say, I am not worthy to be a Cobalt.

Confidence should be engrained in my DNA, but to reach into the well, I have to constantly remind myself that I am good enough.

I won’t devalue her achievements just to find value in myself.

My mom is brilliant and beautiful.

And so I am. Just in my own way.”
