“Knowledge of self and embracing all aspects of my womanhood feels Very Sexy these days.”
“The best posts are, honestly, the ones that you just post on a whim. Sharing something you find beautiful the moment you see it is the whole point of Instagram! Also, show your face! The people want to see your face.”
“A nice full-body massage, a good facial, and extra pampering in the evening is my usual routine. It really sets the mood and preps me for long shoot days.”

“I was a nerdy kid who dressed very outlandishly and loved sports. I was a little Black girl in New Hampshire, so I was still growing into myself. Now, looking back, I know that middle school me would be very proud of where I am now.”
“I mean, who would've thought this would happen? I always dreamed that I would become someone who could be the role model I needed when I was a kid. I didn’t really see myself in magazines. They didn't really show young dark-skinned women that they were beautiful. So, I didn't really have too many people to look up to. Now, I want to be that woman for younger girls.”
“My mom would dress me in furs. And I was really into hair. I started wearing makeup in middle school, and it was just mascara. In high school, I got into the whole trend of dark, blocky eyebrows. I thought I was eating it up, but I looked crazy. My mom didn't like that I wore makeup.”
“She just thought it was too grown. I would literally run to the bus, do my makeup on the bus, then go to school. Then, right before it was time to go back home, I'd run to the bathroom and wash it off.”
“When we would have community events. She would say, ‘Someone needs to do my makeup,’ because she would be too tired from work. So, I had to watch YouTube to learn how to do it, then practice on her. So, she would go to her parties and people would love her look, and then her friends started to come to my house to get their makeup done. I became the community makeup artist.”
