00:00personally the thing that is really exciting about it is I feel like we are expanding the
00:09definition of beauty in this country and there's an expansion of a standard that needed to be
00:18updated and so it's been really fun watching a lot of these primetime television shows pull that
00:27apart it's also always been my way so shared with the world and I'm really happy for that because
00:36people get to sort of expand their understanding and idea of the ways that women manipulate
00:44themselves most particularly black women in the context of beauty in our culture you know for me
00:51really style and clothing and the way that I dress myself and the way that I jewel myself is one of
00:57my forms of creative expression I it depends on the mood it depends on the day it depends on the
01:04weather it depends you know it usually starts with a feeling and I really am very creative in that way
01:10like it just like clothing started in my life as an armor for me it was a way that I protected myself
01:17from the world and then it sort of grew into one of the ways that I express myself and it's really
01:23the motto for me and what I share with others is the same message with hair and beauty and anything
01:32like I am not a real hair advocate I am a what makes you feel beautiful advocate and if wearing a
01:40wig or a wig or dyeing your hair pink or purple or blue or wearing it straight is what makes you feel
01:45beautiful and makes you feel empowered then that's what you should do and my point with this journey
01:52is that I hope people understand the context of the culture of beauty and know that the choices that
02:01they make get to come from inside them and not from what other people are saying is beautiful
