With any medium you are working in, technical skills obviously help, but your mind is what you really need to expand. That is how you create work. That's the role of the artist - to change the way you view things.

We [photographers] have the tools and the power to create images - we should try to make them as truthful as possible.

If a guy can't handle your crazy pictures, he's probably not someone you want in your life.

If a guy can't handle your natural hair, he's weak. Why waste time on someone like that?

You don't have to wait for anyone's approval to do things. You don't have to try to get a job and go through set steps before you start a career or start your life. That's what I want young girls to know - you can do anything you want. Just start.

Girls are taught to be so afraid to take up any "space," even with their own bodies, and hair is a part of that. I'm glad to not be a part of that!

To me, the point of feminism is to be inclusive.
