I think about this every time I make art, now. I really didn’t like a lot of my very limited work last year, but what if other people did? Ugh

Black Hair is Professional

Our hair has a long history of being politicised and stigmatised in society. However, now more than ever, we should feel empowered to wear our natural kinky curly hair in corporate/professional settings with pride. The more we do, slowly but surely, our tight curls or locs will no longer be considered as "unprofessional". Furthermore, employers cannot discriminate against an employee wearing an afro, because that's discrimination against its natural state! Something we cannot control, no matter how much we attempt to "tame" it with harmful chemicals, it will continue to grow curly. Remember, young women are looking at us to set the example, so please do your best to rock your natural hair with pride. Comment down below if you need advice on haircare: tools, products to protect/grow healthy hair.

Advice your mother should’ve given you.

Stick by your word and stand firm with your boundaries. Don’t allow people to poke, probe, and push your limits, boundaries, and no zones after you told them not to. Don’t be fooled, all people need is one warning to get the memo that something is off limits, but no one will respect a person who is all talk and no action. Put action behind your words, no one will take your words seriously if you don’t, empty threats get you nowhere. People only continue trying you when they know/think they can get away with it. Say it with me, first times a warning, second times a done deal. Don’t disrespect yourself by going against your boundaries and personal code.
