Black hair is magical! ✨
It's versatile and authentic. It's full of wonder and culture. Black hair is our identity. It's time the world accepts it, from the roots to the curly, coily, & kinky tips.

Tomorrow, I will share a story that I’ve never fully told publicly before.
I am testifying at the Oversight Committee hearing on abortion care and I will share that when I was 17, I was raped, became pregnant, and got an abortion.
And I am not ashamed. vanityfair.com/news/2021/09/c
