Happy #WorldAfroDay ✨

Our hair is so amazing and diverse. We need to embrace our curls and kinks more despite society telling us it’s not beautiful. We also deserve to parade our crowns without unrequested touching from colleagues and acquaintances!! pic.twitter.com/Y40kBp21Xs

Dear Afro, it took me a very long time to love you because for a long time I was made to feel that you were ugly. But now I’m older & wiser and I adore you!❤ #WorldAfroDay #afrohairday2018 #afrohairday #afro #naturalhair #blackgirlmagic #coilyhair #4cnaturalhair pic.twitter.com/5X98Kor4t2

A little late but… Happy World Afro Day, Curlies! I’m grateful for a day when we can collectively celebrate our kinks, coils, curls and afros in all their glory. And if you missed all the fun of the World Afro Day Awards, check the highlight on my page! I love my hair because it’s expressive, versatile and cannot be replicated.What do you love the most about your natural hair?
