NC: What do you do at night time for your hair?
AM: At night time, I sleep on a satin pillowcase. That’s usually as far as I get with a night time routine; however, when I’m not being lazy, I wear a satin bonnet or a satin scarf.
NC: What is the best thing about being curly?
AM: The best thing about being curly is the fact that I don’t fear rain messing up my hair anymore. Also, I feel that it makes me stand out more and further express my personality.
NC: How do you think having curly hair has impacted your everyday life?
AM: The way that curly hair has impacted my everyday life is that I feel more comfortable in my skin. This confidence has helped me so much especially when dealing with some of the haters.
NC: What would you tell others to encourage them to embrace their curls?
AM: I say, just do what makes you happy. Don’t let other people’s words get to you. Also, transitioning can be a beast sometimes when it comes to dealing with two textures, but stay strong and be patient.
NC: Tell us about your current and upcoming projects. Tell us about your life and what you are up to!
AM: Right now, I wouldn’t say that I have any current projects, unless preparing for graduation counts! When I’m not working at TextureMedia or in class and organization meetings, I’m trying to figure out what to do with my life once I walk across the stage.
