And by middle school, I begged my mother to give me extensions, thinking that would “solve the problem”. My hair was one of my greatest insecurities, I was bullied for it relentlessly in elementary school. As a Black woman, so much of my self worth is tied to my hair at a young age.

I don’t regret that time, I needed to go through to learn from it for sure.
