To think just a little over a year ago I was still working part-time as a maid, literally scrubbing floors after I completed photo shoots, constantly questioning if this “modeling thing” was going to work out. Suffice it to say, I think I’m doing pretty well :) I cannot believe that I get to be apart of this great legacy that is @si_swimsuit! Thank you @mj_day and the SI team for taking risks and being a champion for diversity. I am incredibly grateful for this opportunity and want to remind everyone to always believe in yourself, trust the process, and never give up. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📷 @yutsai88 MUA @paulyblanch Hair @djquintero Suits are tagged

Let me tell you something about LOVE: Love isn't all about romance and attraction. Love isn't just a feeling you get. Love isn't something you give away and hope for in return. Love is transformative. Love is making a commitment to become the best version of yourself. Love is aligning your choices with your goals. Love is holding yourself accountable for the spaces you occupy and the people you surround yourself with. Love is being true to yourself regardless of the circumstances. Love is sharing your light with the world even when the world says you're not enough. Love is HEALING. Love is TRUTH. Love is GRATITUDE. Love is FEARLESS. Love is AUTHENTICITY. Love is the catalyst for our growth as individuals and our evolution as a species. Love is the reason I am here today. I am LOVE. I am UNCONDITIONAL. I am INFINITE. I am PASSIONATE. I am Ebonee Davis. I am a 2018 @SI_Swimsuit ROOKIE! #InHerOwnWords
