Featured in the 2021 World Afro Day article alongside Boity Thulo.

“I feel most myself when wearing my hair in its natural state. It’s taken a lot of work to actually love my hair, and also not to take it too seriously. Society teaches us so many negative things about our hair – that it’s untidy, unkempt or unmanageable. On the contrary, I think Afro-textured hair is incredibly versatile, resilient and beautiful. Changing how I speak about Afro-textured, curly and coily hair has gone a long way to changing how I feel about it”
