NC: What is the best thing about being curly?
LD: Curly hair is diverse. You can wear lots of different hair styles that others can’t!
NC: How do you think having curly hair impacts your life
LD: I think curly hair has impacted my life in a good way. I see naturals and they stop me and say, “Oh my gosh, I cannot wait until my hair becomes your length!” or “People with hair like yours are the reason I went natural!”
NC: What would you tell others to encourage them to embrace their curls?
LD: Curly hair is beautiful and unique! It’s the hair on your head and you were born with it…love it!
NC: Tell us about your current and upcoming projects!
LD: I am currently a full time student at Stratford High School…I guess you can say I have a typical teenage life. Right now I’m getting ready to apply for colleges!
