In June 2017, the young actress inspired Instagram followers when she posted a photo of her natural hair, while also addressing a newfound love of her curls.
“Why do we let everyone else tell us what we should look like? How we should dress? How to wear our hair? What we can’t do based on our appearance or the color of our skin?,” she wrote. “Haven’t ever really worn my hair natural but I’m sick of straightening this magic. I’m a black girl and I’m hella proud. And whether you are black, white, brown, yellow, red, green, or purple you should be proud too because you’re BEAUTIFUL.”
