America’s Next Natural Model, an online pageant to promote natural hair, Black beauty & Naturalistas.
This first challenge I have to say BUT GOD because I didn’t even think I would be able to make it happen, let alone complete it. When everything seems to not be going as you expect you have to keep the faith and know that what He has for you will be manifested. Working on […]
I was really excited for the first challenge of ANNM. What better way to celebrate Black History Month than to honor the hairstyles that paved the way for Black Hair today! For this challenge I chose to represent my hairstyle choices in a literal sense. I really wanted each picture I took to be representative […]
Being the Vice President of Black Student Union, during the month of February we are required to host events for “Black History Month”. When I heard that the first competition was to create themes regarding black hair throughout history, I was nervous but also excited to emulate styles from the past. For this challenge I […]
African Queen: With a West African father and American mother, I am very much connected with my African roots. I wanted to reflect the strength, beauty, and pride of the African people in this image at a time when most people falsely equate all of Africa with poverty, suffering, and war. […]
Picture 1: Gift of Life Before we were uprooted from our beloved motherland, we valued the strength and fullness of our hair in its natural state. It signified who we were and where we came from.

Harlem, New York became the epicenter for many legendary […]
I began exploring my roots, which funny enough started at the exact time that I did my “big chop”…and I have NEVER gone back. This challenge speaks to my love of history, and most importantly to my love of hair-story. I like to use my hair to help educate. I feel, that when people learn […]

Dajuan Jones Early 2012 I received a call in the studio from a model asking for a TFCD (trade for CD). As a working professional, I wasn’t in anyway interested in trading my talents for portfolio work. But as the model expounded on why she was looking for such an agreement, my tone changed. The […]

I started my semi-freeforming journey about 5 weeks ago. I chose this route for several reasons. For one, I was afraid that if I constantly retwisted, my locs would get thin at the roots and I don’t ever wanna go down like that. Secondly, I really want to give my hairline a break. I notice that […]
