Denee explains that she chopped her hair off before her sophomore year of college at Carnegie Mellon University, and it was India.Arie‘s “I Am Not My Hair” which gave her the confidence to do so.
“I had a relaxer my whole life. And then the summer before my sophomore year I was listening to a lot of India.Arie and ‘I Am Not My Hair’ and I shaved it off,” she shared.
Denee added, “Especially as Black women, our hair holds so much. It can be such a source of shame. So to release that for the first time, it really made me feel like I was unstoppable. I felt sexy.”
She continued on, opening up about her approach to beauty: “It really just depends whatever feels good to my soul. That’s my way of beauty. The most consistent is a fresh cut, fresh eyebrows and a maxi dress with back out, no bra, some Birkenstocks and gold hoops. I could really wear that uniform every day.”
