I have recently been addressing some important topics on my social media and blog, such as race, diversity and embracing myself. I am proud to be one of the few curly-haired, mixed race Bloggers/YouTubers.
When I first started blogging back in March 2016, I would straighten my hair for blog shoots and try to westernise my appearance in order to fit in with the beautiful, swishy-haired bloggers I had come to know.
Within the past year, I decided enough was enough, I wanted to embrace my afro-heritage more than ever. This was one of the best and most significant moments of my life.
With Black History Month in full swing, I thought this was a great time to share with you the mixed-race women who inspire me:
