NC: What is the best thing about being curly?
KW: The freedom to enjoy my hair and the freedom to let my hair do what comes naturally instead of forcing it into styles it ain’t comfortable in.
NC: How do you think having curly hair impacts your life?
KW: It has impacted my life in ways I never thought possible. I think it also affected my way of thinking. It is incredible.
NC: What would you tell others to encourage them to embrace their curls?
KW: I tell women everyday that whether your hair is straight, curly, afro, dreaded, etc, you must accept it. Accept what you have and happiness will come naturally. Not forcefully.
NC: Tell us about your life and what you are up to!
KW: I run a page for women called Blazing Empress. I write poetry and essays for the modern-day Cleopatras. I write about things that I feel are unnecessary taboos in our world. Things like sex, marriage, children, life decisions, racism, homosexuality and love. I started Blazing Empress at a time in my life when I needed the support of other women. The response to my page has been overwhelming. Through my page I have received messages from many women, making me realize that many women out there feel the same way.
You can find Blazing Empress on Facebook or Twitter!
