Tye Tribbett shared on his instagram page recently, the picture of his childhood as a ring bearer. Read his inspiring story below. #tbt I so didn't wanna be the ring bearer at this wedding because I was ALWAYS talked about n teased for my big teeth n dark skin! I didn't want the spotlight on me. I was like "everybody else is walking with somebody, why I gotta be by myselfπ©" so I practiced holding my mouth shut in the mirror for WEEKS! In this pic I'm lookin at one of the "jokesters" that were snickering,... "why don't you smile Tye-Tye " they said in hopes that I'd be embarrassed.... But I jus looked, didn't break my stride, kept my game face on, n KEPT IT MOVIN! I later found out that they were upset that THEY weren't CHOSEN to do what I was doing! THEY wanted the attention,THEY wanted to wear what I was wearing, THEY wanted to carry what I was carrying (whew this is a sermonπ©) ...Today my teeth are STILL big... I'm STILL darker than most π n people are STILL talking about me ...n I'm STILL doing what I was CHOSEN to do...so my response is the same, #keepitmovin πΆπΏππΏ #beEncouraged #letTHEMtalk #YOUaredoingwhatTHEYwanttodo thing is.... #GodChoseYOU ππΏ #especiallyME ππΏ #especiallymecoloringandactivityjournal (wish I had that book at this age @1mookstar π©.. oh but MY KIDS GOT ITππΏ) #AlreadyLOVED #liVe ππΏπ¨ A photo posted by Tye Tribbett (@bowtyetrib) on Nov 3, 2016 at 11:00am PDT
