“I wanted to celebrate and uplift Blackness, and for me Black hair does that because it connects Black people from all across the diaspora. It’s beautiful, it’s versatile, it’s an outlet for creativity and personal expression. I wanted to highlight a range of different Black hair styles and textures, and acknowledge this natural crown we have been blessed with. I had most fun creating the Aces, which are different combs used specifically on natural hair. I love the strong shapes these combs have and how they have come to be powerful symbols of self-love and Black empowerment.”
