(Beautiful Hair)
“For most of my life, I’ve limited what I did to my hair, whether that be due to respectability politics or school policies. In 2020, however, I started my hair growth journey and began to appreciate even more the freedom of expression through my hair that was previously not permitted to me. Since then, I have experimented with a whole range of different hairstyles, Afro, braids, twists and now dreadlocks. It's a thing of pride for me to be able to wear my hair freely, especially in the face of policies that are based on negative and racist stereotypes.”
