Morning Glory: Shannon

It’s never too late in the afternoon for a little Morning Glory!

Dear Sandra Rose,

I have a daily habit of making sure I read sandrarose.com and pay close attention to ALL the ‘Morning Glories.’ I noticed “Miss Miami Monroe” received quite a bit of bad feedback for her pictures and for being in the military. I am aslo an aspiring model and serve in the military. I have yet to meet another young member who isn’t in the military while still pursuing other careers. There are rappers, singers, and other forms of entertainers currently serving-so what’s the problem with women modeling at the same time? Anywho, we’re entitled to our own opinion and this is mine. I love being in front of the camera while still serving my country. I would love to be the next ‘Morning Glory’ because just because you aren’t 5’7 or extra slender doesn’t mean you can’t make your body work for you.

Thanks,

Morning Glory: Saleisia Lampkin

Hey Sandra,

I’m an avid reader and I know you are a fan of natural beauty and I feel that we feel the same way on how the media portray us “black” women when it comes to our hair and brown skin (like we aren’t good enough). This was a very huge deal for me because I grew up with bald edges and very nappy hair and felt that “long straight” hair was the only way for any brown skinned girl to make it. I’m working on a blogging site (BoldisBeauty) where I want all girls of all races to come share their insecurities and more…and come OUT to face their fears of the world. When I finally came out I felt like a million bucks and I want to share that feeling with millions of other women/girls who are prisoners of their own bodies.

Take Care!
Saleisia




 

Morning Glory: Miss Miami Monroe

Hello,

I’m an aspiring model and actress who goes by the name of (Miss. Miami Monroe), and I really would love if you would put me on your website as a Morning Glory. Attached are a couple of photos of me. I am currently in the United States Air Force. I just want to show people – women especially – that you can be a professional, be beautiful and have goals and dreams, be 100% professional and have a tough hands-on job. I represent a lot of things: strength, courage and beauty. I hope you choose to put me on your website. It would mean a lot of exposure that I need and deserve. I WILL MAKE IT! I just don’t want to do it by dating someone, porn or stripping! Thank you for your time and consideration.
