BLACK WOMEN ARE BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“It feels good to be a role model for little girls who don’t often see
natural hair on the red carpet. I’ve wanted to be an actress my whole
life and the none of the women I aspired to be like had natural hair.
Today we have Esperanza and Solange who always look fierce and are proud
to wear their natural hair. Maybe it’s not a statement for them, but
for me, they showed me that I don’t have to equate fierce and gorgeous
with long, straight hair. I hope there’s a little girl out there who may
see me and say the same thing.”
