Danielle Desiree

I received an email from the beautiful model - Danielle Desiree.  And she had this to say about her natural hair:

"I have been natural for just about 2 years now, and I am loving my journey. It has not been the easiest journey, but I've yet to hear about any easy journey. After years of weave, my decision to go natural was simple...I wanted to wear the hair God gave me. I will never go back to relaxers. Our hair is too beautiful to break down. Thank you for offering a website that celebrates the natural journey. "

Letter from Sunday Omony

 

Sunday wrote to me and shared here experience with being a model with loc's. Sunday Omony is a 25 years old Ugandan-Canadian Plus-Size Model, that loves natural hairstyles.

"At first I was worried that I would be asked by my agency to remove my locks, but it turns out that they think my locks make me look unique and sets me apart from the rest of the models. I think that women with locks should be represented more in the fashion industry because locks are so beautiful and versatile. I love your blog because it's fun, connects diverse women and very empowering. I really enjoy getting natural hair advice from your blog. Thank you very much. Keep inspiring and sharing.

Cheers  ~  Sunday"

Supermodel Gelila Bekele

~ East African Supermodel Gelila Bekele ~

Thoughts from Gelila -

"I am an east African, learning how to wear my body, and trying to be the best ME! Enjoying life, learning simplicity, and at this very moment - I am just a sponge. I have encountered many things, and through time I have learned, human beings are not programmed to endure a predestined life… Life goes on – relationships change, friendships grow, acquaintances flourish … "
