We carry history, resilience, and beauty; effortlessly.

Growing up, I watched how a simple basket became everything for the women around me; carrying groceries, and even all I owned when I had to relocate because of war.

The basket is more than an object, it’s a symbol of strength, survival, and grace.

This hairstyle is my tribute to that strength and to the women who have woven me into the woman I am today.

Hair crafted me
