00:00I love Tiana Parrish. She's amazing. Her hair is always on point. I love Solange's
00:16hairstyles. She just always kills the game. So I saw Natalie, the Flow Assist video,
00:21and she had like a bald head and I just thought she was so beautiful. And I was
00:26also working at a job that I was frustrated with and trying to get Awkward
00:30Black Girl off the ground. And so I remember I tweeted something like, man,
00:36I wish I had an excuse. Like I wish someone would just break up with me so
00:39that I can have an excuse to shave my hair off. And then I was like, oh,
00:43that's a funny plot line of like a show or something and decided like to tweet
00:51that I was gonna or put on Facebook that I wanted to shave my head bald. And so all
00:55my friends responded like, oh my gosh, do it. You about to be so ugly. Oh my God,
01:00what if you have a weird shaped head? And I was like, my friends are terrible. But I
01:05saw how much attention I was getting. And I was like, oh my gosh, I should use this.
01:09I should shave my head and then do a trailer for Awkward Black Girl where I,
01:13I feature my bald head. And that way people who want to see what I look like
01:19will also know about this new show that I'm trying to do. And so I did it and it
01:23got like 3,000 views in a day and I had a bald head and I had a fresh start and
01:30that bald head changed my life.
