[@cherlettejohnson4118]

I was 35 when I was blessed with twin sons. Three years later while walking hand in hand with them into the grocery store I ran into someone from high school, she said "oh hi are these your grandbabies", I said No I birthed these myself", she then tried to insult me with "oh you had your babies late", without skipping a beat I said, "absolutely not, they came right on time so that I could be truly present in their lives instead of out in these streets". The look on her face was priceless. LOL

[@tcoleman6167]

I just went down memory lane and she'd a few tears because I was often attacked for being pretty and DIFFERENT than status quo. My self esteem was wrecked for a period of time while in middle school because girls seemed to hate me. I was a shapely, pretty, tomboy. Boys loved me because I was cool AND pretty...and I hated it! I was often attacked physically and verbally, oh the mind games! I was very sheltered and naive and wanted girl friends and girls preyed on this setting me up to look stupid and I fell for it often! To this day I don't trust easily! 😢 And to this day, I hold myself back. I needed this. Not anymore. Message received, God! Thank you, Fumi. ❤

[@precious3175]

You have literally told my life story. Dumbing myself down, shrinking myself because of people's comments who i have now discovered were just jealous most of the time. I feel like genuine people see greatness in me that i had stopped seeing in myself, even those that arent genuine see it and it bothers them so much they feel the need to diminish me. I often wonder why people who are doing way better than me still see me as a threat...All this drama has really affected my life, made me lag behind and everything. Its only now at age 37 that i am picking up the pieces of my life and moving as the girl i think i am. Thank you for this video aunt Fumi❤❤❤❤

Thank you for this!!! I have always gotten sideways comments from people (mainly women) focused on me - so I would shrink to become invisible so no attention would be on me. Finally at 51 and I am learning to hold my head up and shine. I wasted so many years letting others determine my worth.

Dear Fumi, I thank God for your life. I never commented before. Some years back I randomly saw your channel. I tried my best to follow you now and then. Am 40, married and have 3 kids. For the first in my whole life I feel like am choosing me. Finally seeing myself through the Almighty's eyes. This means am leaving behind so many things that are no longer serving me. It is a painful proces. But am trusting for what He has in store for me. The woman He intended me to be. Playing small ends in 2024. Thank you for your story, your testimony and mostly your obedience to Him You have no idea how much this means to us. May God continue to richly you bless you. Someday we will meet. Love from the Netherlands.

[@Jacquethoiss]

This has hit home because I’ve had to deem myself down for so long and it has messed me up so bad to a point where sometimes I still deem myself to fit in. Sometimes i fight to find my self confidence because at some point I completely lost it but now I am better. I appreciate and respect you for both this video and the video before. I have an opportunity in California and I can’t take it because am afraid of experiencing any negative outcomes - thank you!!! This hit home

[@queenedmab9184]

OMG!!! I can relate soooo much to what you are saying in this video. As an Aries myself (April18th) I have a hard time with girl friendship.. jealousy, envy because I’m confident and they are always saying that I have a strong personality, when I get into a room, people are only talking about me.. so I quit trying to change myself to please their lack of self esteem.. I completely assume my personality, joy, extraverted me🥳🥳🥳 I’m an only girl with 5 brothers so ai always get along better with men.. simple, no drama, no jealousy, no backstabbing, no gossip. Happy holidays y’all🎄

[@druzeltrotman]

Aunty Fumi you are so REAL. I love it ,you remind me of my mother. She went back to school at 48 years old and now at 51 she's a Chef at a resort and she wants to own a restaurant some day. I am very proud of her. She's been through alot but she perseveres.

[@luyandabaleni7915]

Thank you Fumi for reminding me that I'm not weird, if I'm disrespected I am out. I'm tall and I did not like my height because every time I enter a room I'm easily noticed than my friends. I thought something was wrong with me when heads turn towards me. I used to go for flat shoes but now thanks to you Fumi, I understand my value. It's not about who's going to like me but who I like 😂❤

[@moonmaiden585]

Thank you, Auntie Fumi. I am in a low state in my life right now. I feel like I am a husk of what I used to be. At the age of 26, I feel like I have wasted so many years playing small and playing it safe. I am told by those close to me that I am behind, and clock is ticking against me, and I wasted my early 20s. I have a huge fear of being in the spotlight,but as I continue to watch your videos and do what I can step by step to create a change in my life I am inspired to keep pushing forward. Somedays I crawl, other days I am running towards my goals. No matter what, I am inching closer to being great again. Thank you for being such an inspiration. I live and love your energy and wisdom.😊

[@radiantrobin2178]

Hi Fumi, you are absolutely correct! Interestingly, we had a similar past in that others revered us. The people who were jealous or disliked us only wanted to be us. I used to sing and forfeited an opportunity to attend the Julliard School of Music and Art in the NY area. I was slim and very attractive as a younger woman. I performed well in school and was afforded opportunities that some others weren't afforded. I attended Barbizon Modeling School. I modeled at upscale hotels. My mom bought beautiful clothes for my brother and me, and they weren't cheap. We attended musicals and traveled. The exposure that we had to the finer things in life was extraordinary. I also modeled and had an opportunity to go to Paris, but my son's father told me that if I went, he wouldn't be here for me when I returned. I regret many of the decisions that I made because of others. I used to walk around with a bunch of fear and became a people pleaser. I didn't want to stand out, but I am different now. Thank you for sharing your fantastic story!!! You are the best!!!

[@jonesing88]

First of all Fumi-your makeup looks divine. To your second point, individuality and uniqueness should be valued. I agree wholeheartedly and the Almighty created us to be unique. So many people ( not talking about you) pay lip service to the idea of individuality. But the moment you think, dress, speak, or act differently than they expect or desire, you are called a hater or a contrarian. That is group think at its finest. In this upcoming new year, I want to continue to invest in myself and that comes from loving myself. No longer will I worry about those who don't see the value in me. That ship has sailed. That doesn't mean I can't love you and wish the best for you. I just have to do it from a greater distance. Blessings to all.

Yes aunty Fumi, please ignore the very hateful people whose sole intent is to bring you down on these platforms. It's good that they've been made an example of, also acknowledging both good and bad comments is what makes you YOU. However nexting these people won't hurt any of us. The envious friendships and people seem to be even more of a thing today, shamefully. It's the era of scrolling and feeling bad for yourself, dreaming of all the plastic surgery and hating on those who have it or don't want it or are confident enough minding their own business. Sisters, hold your head and your tall body high. Just think, if they're bad you don't want them in your life anyway. As we say "Mais vale sozinha que mal acompanhada" Let's surround ourselves (by choice) only with uplifting people who want us well, here's to a successful 2025 🥂

Years ago people told me those were "old lady" hobbies, now they are fashionable. When I started making garments, I learned that I can have garments that fit my body & personality. The feelings of acomplishment whenever someone compliments them is amazing. Now I make extra money by working on commissioned pieces while at my regular job.

Aunty Fumi, as someone who has tried dating sites for 8yrs, l'll tell you it's hard(not impossible) to find your husband there. This is because it gives an illusion of many options, and from my experience, most men struggle to choose one person on it and focus.
