since i've started shooting the models for the event, you've seen little sneak peeks of them. most of the models spent a little time on video talking about their natural hair journey, their routine and just what being natural means to them. now its your turn :
yep. its time to turn the camera on YOU! submit a video, 2 minutes or less, and tell us what being natural means to YOU!
you dont have to have natural hair to enter this contest because we all know that being natural is about way more than just your hair! dont get me breaking in to "i am not my hair" by india arie, lol. this contest is local but open to everyone - curly, kinky, nappy, fro, straight, guys, girls, red, yellow, black or white!!
so, use ur cell phone, your camera, your web cam - whatever you have readily available to you and let us hear your thoughts about being natural.
