I Encourage the Big Chop!
Natural is beautiful. It took me a long while to finally accept my natural hair as beautiful. I was always trying to conform to society's standards of what beautiful was; the black girl with the straightest and longest hair. I had to overcome my low self-esteem if I wanted to dive into the natural hair world. I was always so self-conscious about whether it would be too nappy or too big. After watching numerous videos about naturally curly hair, I never realized how much I was damaging my hair until recently. I was empowered by watching the naturalistas embrace their big, beautiful hair and decided that it was time for a change and that I was ready to really "embrace" my curls!

Finding the Balance
College is hard enough as it is; class, hours of studying and homework, sleep deprivation... Adding athletics on top of that makes college 10 times harder. Being a student-athlete is difficult. Along with the hours and hours of studying we put into our major, we also have practice, early morning lifting sessions, hours of study hall, meetings upon meetings upon meetings! Finding the balance between the two is still a struggle even after enduring the journey for two years now... Let me tell you a little about myself.
