What I Love About Me: Brooklyn

Actor and Model, @shaynarc

“Like many black women, I had a complicated relationship with my hair growing up. Now, I love and appreciate it.”

Hair Stylist, @dairygothmother

“I used to put on a full face look every single day, but now I try and just do one single detail that makes my makeup striking, like this glitter tear drop.”

Creative Director, @sakurabready

“I always present myself playfully. I look like this on weekends and for work meetings. I never play myself down.”

Photo Editor, @annasabatini

“I cut my own hair. My bangs are my thing, and they make it easy to
walk out the door looking styled.”

Artist, @mimiquiquine

“I used to try and align myself with the feminine styles my friends wear, but I’d rather be comfortable, and I’m happy with that.”

Co-founder at Nice Paper, @charlotteparler

“I like to ‘bring some shoulder’ into a room. I dress myself
in power suits to look strong.”

Digital Beauty Editor, @mayaalenaa

“The female body is so beautiful. I grew up with insecurities, but now I’m super confident about my curves.”

Hairdresser, @songisabelhee

“The older I get, the more self-realized I become. I’m more accepting of how my body and my face are changing.”
