In some black communities there’s still a stigma that kinky or coarse hair is “bad”, which couldn’t be further from the truth. There’s no such thing as good or bad when describing someone’s natural hair texture or type. To those struggling to love and accept their natural hair because of societal pressures, remember this - straight, curly, kinky or wavy, it doesn’t make a difference. Embrace your hair the way it is, no matter what society tells you. All hair is good hair. It’s your Crown.

I was 19 years old with a newly born baby girl in my arms. At the time, I am positive I did not even know what an engineer was. Now, I have a hilarious (this girl is really funny y’all) 6 year old daughter and have graduated with as a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering. It took all of those cliché’ values, determination, perseverance, etc. I mean, I remember working one job, then changing to go across the mall to unload a truck for the next. I remember completing assignments with a crying toddler and dropping her off to family before college basketball trips. I remember calling my aunt once I switched over to UCF, crying because I hated missing moments of Amara’s life while on this rigorous engineering path. There have been so many personal fights throughout this journey, but it shows what all of us are truly capable of. I don't recall all the reasons I decided to start over to be an engineer back in 2011, but I'm glad I did. This is a thank you to my Lord and savior Jesus Christ and everyone who has been here at any point in this journey. I could not have done it without every word of encouragement, every personal who expressed they looked up to me, every random compliment...We all did it, and this is only the beginning. #fall2015 #engineer #greeksgraduate #aφa #alphaphialpha #UCFGrad
