Declared for the whole world to see, declared for the entire internet to hear. Why? It’s not exactly like YOU would want my body. Not this scar-ridden, illness-plagued, frequently-invaded … Continued

I sat down to film on Friday and had planned a video but then went on Instagram for a split second and was just overwhelmed with gratitude and that’s all before the birthday love. Just wanted to say thank you and needed more than 300 words so here’s a 5 minute video of me telling … Continued

YOUR INTELLIGENCE IS NOT THREATENING! I’m going to be honest. This video was really hard to film and I stopped a couple of times and really questioned whether I wanted to upload this.

Woke up like dis 💁🏻 A post shared by Michelle Elman (@scarrednotscared) on Aug 1, 2017 at 8:10am PDT I had something less than pleasant said to me at the weekend and I’m not 100% sure I’m ready to talk about it on here. Shocking how one small comment can unveil a whole load of … Continued
