In part one of this powerful two-part series, artist and Louisville, KY native LaNia Roberts opens up about the early chapters of her journey--before the likes, the followers, and the viral fame. At just 15, LaNiya struggled deeply with self-image and acceptance, often moved to tears by her reflection. Now known for her striking two-panel paintings that bridge duality, LaNiya explains how art helped her find dimension in a world that tried to flatten her. As her Instagram following soared into the tens of thousands, she faced an unexpected backlash that made her question everything. One night, overwhelmed by online hate, LaNiya prayed to be released from it all--and woke up saying she had been "hacked by Jesus." This is the raw, remarkable beginning of a story about healing, visibility, and redefining beauty.
