Quote

I feel like fashion is becoming more inclusive, partly because the industry is finally getting that beauty exists in so many ways, and partly because thanks to Instagram, girls can create their own images, or remix images they're seeing in magazines and fashion shows, in ways that weren't possible before.

You don't have to wait for anyone's approval to do things. You don't have to try to get a job and go through set steps before you start a career or start your life. That's what I want young girls to know - you can do anything you want. Just start.

Girls are taught to be so afraid to take up any space, even with their own bodies, and hair is a part of that. I'm glad to not be a part of that!

Even if I'm not so into the specific celebrities who are sharing images of themselves looking bad, I think it's an amazing contribution to the conversations about beauty that we have online.

With feminism social media just opened up its boundaries even more. Now all these different tribes of women can connect with each other, and also find each other if they're not living in the same city, or even if they are but they're not friends with the same people!
