Hair, first and foremost, is a spiritual thing. I was raised by Rastafarians, who basically take a spiritual vow not to cut their hair because it brings them closer to a god. For me, hair almost touches every aspect of life because it's such an extension of yourself. It's a way to identify; it's how you see yourself, and the way people see you. It's also a way people have been policed and governed. There are so many political things about hair—we can go on for days about that. Hair isn't just a thing that comes out of your head. It's so much bigger than that. It's a place of solace and a place of reverence for me.
I think identity has to start with the beauty that you see within yourself. A lot of times we connect beauty with external perceptions or societal standards, but true beauty is about recognizing and embracing who you are at your core.
