is a space for Black women across industries to reflect on their journeys to self-love, and how accepting their hair, in all its glory, played a pivotal role in this process. Each week, these women share their favorite hair rituals, products, and the biggest lessons they’ve learned when it comes to affirming their beauty and owning their unique hair texture., or TikTok, or YouTube, her goal is to inspire her online communities to love themselves fully.
Brown’s ability to spread this positive message began with some soul searching of her own; learning to love her hair, in all stages, was an important part of that journey. “My hair changed when I started swim team growing up,” Brown says. “The chlorine breakage was real." Then with puberty, Brown experienced “those moments as a Black girl growing up when you beg your mom to do your own hair or to wear it out,” with which came the heat damage and burning that many of us know all too well.
She decided to stop getting relaxers a few years after college. But even then, the pressure to blow dry her hair surrounded her, whether it was from people she dated or working within the PR world. “I was blowdrying for so many years because natural hair was not really celebrated until basically yesterday,” Brown says. When her late mother was going through chemotherapy, Brown was inspired to embrace her hair completely. “I cut off all the damage when I cut my hair with her,” Brown says.
“Self-love has been really a lifelong journey for me being a chubby kid,” Brown adds. “[I've learned] humans will always find a way to separate themselves and to try to have elitist attitudes, whether it's economic, if it's your hair type, if it's your skin color, whatever the thing is. I think that my parents did a really good job at reinforcing my value and, and verbally affirming me, and showing me where my self-worth comes from.
