5. Angela’s Journey
Angela grew up in a supportive home – her mother always
encouraged and supported her.
She was told she was talented and loved, and this gave her
confidence from an early age to believe in herself and the things she
wanted to do.
While attending college, Angela decided she wanted to be a
hairstylist. With her mother’s blessing, she quickly shifted her focus.
Loving Your Natural Self
Learn to love the hair you’re born with!
To find out who you are, strip away all the extras.
Once Angela cut off her hair, she began to understand the natural
hair journey. After that, she found she needed less and less to feel
confident.
Once you strip away all the extras, see who is still around and sticks
by your side.
Keeping the Confidence
Loving yourself is an ongoing process.
Understand and accept your identity from the start – Don’t wait until
your 30 or 40 to love yourself.
Be the light that attracts people – be the person who lifts people up,
and always be happy with who you are at your core.
Angela spent 2 years creating the book, Hair; she used her life
experiences to contribute to the book.

amazing. (2:33)

age but primarily children, to really understand and accept
their identity from the start. (4:24)

yourself. (5:53)
When you actually do start to see yourself without all those
additions, and then you get really comfortable with it, to the
point that you don’t want anything else. (10:24)
It’s better to test people and put people with certain
situations so you can see faster versus wasting 3 years with
someone who isn’t your friend. (19:01)
