It goes without saying that nobody’s perfect, although some people seem to believe their favorite celebrities are. Former “Basketball Wives” cast member Draya Michele proved she’s just like everyone else when she shared a photo on Instagram and pointed out her one flaw in the caption.

Draya showed up and showed out in a short magenta dress with spaghetti straps that clung to her curves in all the right ways. The 35-year-old reality star paired her ensemble with gold hoop earrings and bracelets. True to form, the model hit her angles by propping her knee and touching her neck with her perfectly manicured nails. Draya completed her ensemble with a natural glam look, featuring shimmery pink blush, lashes and eyebrows that were filled in with makeup.

The mother of two wore her hair pushed back, causing her gorgeous face to shine to its full effect. Gazing at the camera with her mouth slightly open, Draya reflected on her teeth insecurity in her caption. She wrote: “I couldn’t edit my lips so zoom in for a zombie teeth surprise.🧟‍♀️ lol. Idk why they look like that. (Also, I know what y’all freaks was thinking).

Some people instantly gravitated toward the image and encouraged the founder of Mint Swimwear to embrace her imperfections. “You’re to hard on yourself Beautiful. 🔟🔟🔟🔟🔟🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾💯😍😍😘😘👑,” someone wrote. Another person noted: “Change your caption. You look stunning, no vamp teeth detected.” Messages such as: “All I see is perfection Draya😒,” and “Bae you don’t need to look perfect ….. perfection is your Nick name ……❤️❤️😘😘🔥🔥 The world pauses and stands still, cause you are beautiful…..” also started rolling in underneath the post.

Despite what some people may think, Draya flaunts her flaws often. In 2014, “Love and Hip-Hop: New York” cast member Joe Budden playfully blasted the Pennsylvania native in a now-deleted tweet about her feet. Joe suggested that she was blessed in all the areas on her body except her feet since her shoes appear to be larger than most. She teased back, insinuating that her feet were her greatest weapons.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
