What Makes Me Feel Sexy
About the Author: Maddi Neibanck is a 2017 graduate of Georgetown University and author of Fashion Fwd: How Today's Cultures Shapes Tomorrow Fashion. During her free time Maddi can be found perusing the latest edition of Vogue and mentoring fellow entrepreneurs as they strive to discover their greatest potentials. A week after her college graduation, Maddi suffered a massive brain hemorrhage that left her paralyzed on her left side. For the past year and a half, she's been working hard to (quite literally) get back on her feet and pursue her love for fashion. She wrote Fashion Fwd while undergoing intense physical, occupational, and cognitive therapy as a way to kickstart her new life of purpose. What makes you feel beautiful: A killer pair of heels! I'm not back to rocking my signature black thigh-high heeled boots yet, but trust me, that day will be here soon enough! These days, I'm loving my platform sneakers.What song makes you feel confident: Anything Sia! I love her album This is Acting.Whats color do you feel sexiest in: Black - I don't wear much color.When you have low self esteem, what do you do to help yourself realize how beautiful you are: I go for a walk and remind myself of how far I've come this past year. I learned how to walk and am learning how to pick up tiny objects with my left hand. When I reflect on where I was in May 2017 and where I am today (walking, learning to feed myself with my left hand again, a published author!) I realize that if I can get through this, there's nothing I can't do!! With a lot of hard work and the right focus, I can do anything!
