Throughout her work, there’s something about Ciara’s energy and confidence – something in the way she wears that cap, for example – that speaks to, “this is me, Ima make you want it.” (“I market so good…”). I honor and respect those who put on a role and sell it, making money spinning fantasies is real work – personally, I got burnt out on it, and find myself moving more and more towards wanting to market myself more as what I naturally am, which is Dominant and into some strange-ish fetishes. I have a lot of self esteem issues around this, lots of self doubt and doubt about “will anyone give me money for being the kind of sexy that I am,” and I don’t have much of a support system. It can be depressing. Then I saw this video.

Ciara, you’re a total mentor in the world of being you and making em want it. Any time someones down on me now, I know what I’m gonna do – flip em off and keep Ridin’.
