It was my honour to tell my story for the #GoldSeries #MyHairMyStory campaign, in partnership with @BlackWomeninMotion. I have always put so much weight in how I present myself, a lot of the focus being on my hair. This, mostly because I never saw myself in the media I watched so closely growing up. If I did see someone who looked like me... their hair was straight. It was long. It was everything my hair wasn't. I approached my hair like it was a problem. I combed, I burnt, I straightened, I permed and I texturized my hair. Over 5 years ago, I stopped. I decided to love on my hair, take care of my hair and stopped damaging it to reach a standard of beauty set by people who don't even look like me in the first place.
