00:00My name is Suzy, also known as African Creature, and I'm a hair artist, hairstylist, cosmetologist,
00:10braider, everything awesome. I love to transform people's hairstyles. I feel like hair is art.
00:17You know, every time I'm interacting with people or a client, you know, I feel like my hands and
00:24my energy can help transform this person's life. You know, I look at hair as more than
00:30just hair. You know, I see it as a transformational process. You know, ever since I was a little kid,
00:36hair has always been something spiritual and there to me, especially because my mom
00:41always used to do my hair in creative ways. My intentions with everything I do is always to
00:46motivate and inspire people. You know, I want people to see me and see that they can accomplish
00:52their dreams to see me and they feel like, wow, I can really do that. Or I can, I can be like this,
00:58or I can create something or bring something to the world that will help motivate and help people.
01:04You know, everything I always do, I want it to always come from a positive and a loving place.
01:09Like I'm such a loving person and I just want whatever I'm doing to, to, to speak in that language,
01:17in that love language and also spreading hair worldwide, natural hair. Cause I went to,
01:23to France, you know, and like, I caught myself kind of like teaching people, went to LA, the same
01:30thing, Africa, the same thing. So spreading hair as much as possible and teaching people like, yo,
01:36you are beautiful. Like you are popping. Next five is hair by Susie Academy, teaching people how to do
01:44hair and licensing them as well. Right. And I also see hair by Susie in LA. I see hair by Susie in New
01:52York. Another one. I see hair by Susie in UK. I see hair by Susie in Nigeria. I see hair by Susie
01:58doing things that is motivating, you know, networking events, just bridging the gap between like natural
02:06hair and the industry, because natural hair and beauty is sometimes looked at as less than,
02:14you know, or it's not good enough. So I want to change their perspective. I feel like I am already
02:20doing that, but to a bigger scale, changing the perspective of how people see beauty. I remember
02:25being a little kid, you know, not really loving myself. Well, I thought I loved myself, but as soon
02:31as I came outside and I was interacting with other people, you know, they were like, oh, you're ugly or
02:37you're not cute enough or you're not fly enough or you're not black enough, you know, and I found
02:43myself doubting myself and I found myself thinking like, wait, and do I really matter? But the truth
02:50is I really do matter. I really do. You know, so with every kid that's out there that sees this or that
02:58that sees a person that inspires them, know that you do matter, and God created you to be different on
03:04purpose for a reason. You know, I'm created like this for a reason. So I think with all that as us stepping
03:12into our purpose, that motivates the youth. My name is Susie, and I'm the owner of Hair by Susie, and this
03:19is Behind the Magic.
