Growing up in the church, I was taught the ways of God by following His direction from what I read in the Bible and watching other believers live out their faith. But what I lacked was someone whose style I could emulate.
I’ve always loved fashion and wanted to wear the latest hairstyles but the looks that I saw either in the church or on Christian television, I thought, would make me look too old and/or outdated. Therefore, I had to carve out my own look (although it wasn’t always embraced). LOL But it was what I am comfortable with.
A few weeks ago, I started watching BET Sunday Best. And what was so refreshing to me is that they allowed a fly dressing, red haired young lady by the name of 18-year-old Alexis Spight to compete. Her look, although different, was fresh and modern. And it wasn’t so out there that any girl/woman believer couldn’t emulate.
I thought to myself, “Finally, the Christian/inspirational community was embracing a woman that girls/women who like me, are a little different, and I could identify with.”
Although she didn’t win, I believe that she will go far in her musical journey.
Congratulations to Joshua Rogers who is the first male to win Sunday Best.
