Hair is what connects women in Dakar and Detroit, Oprah [Winfrey] and Opal [Tometi] the Black Lives Matter activist. There's a story in every kink, curl, and coil.

I seek to widen, narrow narratives of women of color.

Black women have been cultured to compare not connect.

My approach is to be honest-really honest-and consistent. That is what any growth will take. It is an issue I think [young] generation can be courageous enough to comb through.

Being an Image Activist simply means to be in action of supporting, celebrating and creating honest images of a group you care about, or yourself.

As a busy, grown ass woman, I don't have the time. What I do is I keep myself and my hair hydrated - I drink lots of water and wet my hair frequently. I also keep it highly moisturized.

How I grew to believe Black hair has power, genius, and magic in it, defying gravity and limitation. I mean, look at how marvelous it is: Black hair grows up and out.
