These pictures are from a 2 part story shot this past Summer. I originally couldn’t find them after me and my friend/photog Phyllis shot it. So they were know as the “lost files” until they magically came up last week! I love this story because it totally embodied Summer for me: short shorts, big fluffy afro and bronze skin! I will have the 2nd part up later today!

My hair inspiration here is from my mom. There is a picture of her from the late 70s in Nigeria where she is rocking this amazing afro with a side part. I love it!!!! So whenever my hair is an afro I automatically put a part in it. It’s like robotic. Untwist, pick it out, make a part, done! I love natural hair, its truly a work of art : )
