@hopeelleauthentic: I was lucky enough to be able to choose my own name about 4½ years ago. I chose Hope, because it embodied what I had for my life, as I began again, starting all over. HOPE. It's so simple, yet so powerful. Hope has the power to overcome negativity and struggles and adversity. Hope is literally all I had. Hope is what I am and who I am. #Hope #becomingher
