Some of these authors, I have been so blessed to actually meet like Coe Booth, Rita Williams-Garcia, Toni Morrison, Staceyann Chin, Jacqueline Woodson, Nnedi Okorafor, Edwidge Danticat, and Zadie Smith. I thought, wouldn't it be neat to do a photo shoot tributing Black women authors including ones whose books I have loved over the years, have served as mentors for me from a far, and books I have read throughout the years and have come to admire. It was then that I took my hair out to vary the look and then I realized that I looked like Nalo Hopkinson. ![]() ![]() As the weeks progressed and I took out this hairstyle, I took a photo of myself. This past March, for my launch, I wanted to have a look which was reminiscent of one of my favourite authors, Chimamanda Adichie- stylish, modern, tailored African dress with beautiful coiffed natural hairstyle. ![]()
