It’s a candid and funny glimpse into the issues surrounding hair and self-esteem while advocating for the acceptance of all hairstyle choices.

The film was produced by Anu Prestonia, Maitefa Angaza and Paulette Maat Kesa Tabb and will be presented at the Brooklyn Art Museum’s New Voices in Black Cinema Film Festival next month.

(It looks like I’m wearing a blanket for a shirt, but it’s actually a really cool dress. I’m tall and the dress would have been scandalous if I’d worn it alone so I added tight black pants under the dress. Made a really nice ensemble).

I don’t look too bad with bangs.

My hair is different now. I’m getting ready to revamp my website for my next book, Unbeweavable, so I chose a style that I wouldn’t get tired of looking at through the year.

So all you scaredy cats out there—don’t be afraid to try something new! Sometimes it will work and sometimes it won’t, but at least you will get used to looking at something different in the mirror. Changing your hair is the easiest way to a) look younger, b) feel revived and renewed, and c) update your look. If you don’t have money to change your wardrobe, then change your hair. You can leave the house dressed in a white T-shirt and a pair of jeans—partner that with a glamorous head of hair—and you will turn heads. (The same can’t be said for wearing a designer dress and walking around like Buckwheat by the head.)

Start the new year with a new hairstyle and a new you will slowly unfold.

Have a great weekend!
