NC: What is the best thing about being curly?
HB: It makes me unique and highly recognizable from far away. People always tell me that they see my hair before they see me!
NC: How do you think having curly hair impacts your life?
HB: Curly hair is relatively low-maintenance and it makes my morning routine quick. It also keeps me mindful of how I carry myself because I stand out wherever I go.
NC: What would you tell others to encourage them to embrace their curls?
HB: Do research for stylists in your area that specialize in curly hair, and don’t force your hair to do what isn’t natural for it.
NC: Tell us about your current and upcoming projects!
HB: I am finishing my MSW program and will graduate this coming May. I’m currently working at a domestic violence program and specifically focusing on empowerment, healing and prevention. In the future, I hope to open a nonprofit focused on women’s empowerment and healing, and working to help women from all backgrounds embrace their power and independence and fulfill their dreams!
