Natural Hair Blog: Content Writing, Personal Project

I've found a love of blogging this year and I have so many ideas for what sort of posts I want to write.

When the inspiration hit, I took a deep dive into my experience of growing up as a mixed-race person in a predominately white community and what that meant for my relationship with my hair.

It was vulnerable, yet extremely cathartic for me to write.

Plus a fun way to flex my writing muscles.

A blog post rich with:

👩🏽 Humanity: This blog is raw and tapped into the beauty of human emotions. I wanted other people in my situation to feel heard and from the responses I got, I think they did.

👩🏽‍💻 Research: I shared the products that I love and threw myself into my archive of decades-old photos to enhance the blog post and increase relatability.

😁 Humour: We all have those photos, we were all teenagers once. With a sprinkle of self-depreciation, I gave my readers a giggle at my hair failures.

✌🏽 Advice: It took me years to get my hair to the point it's at now, I didn't want my readers to feel dismayed so I gave them actionable steps to follow.
