“I love your hair.”

I’ve always struggled with feeling comfortable in my identity because of the way my hair looks compared to those around me. It’s caused me a lot anxiety and stress. Over time though, I have learned that my hair is a part of me. My film shows the ways I have come to be more comfortable in my skin. Seeing my mom with her own unique hair and talking with others who share the same feelings has allowed to me to realize I’m not alone.
