"I can be dramatic. I can be funny. I can be sexy. I can be sad. I can be glad." — Kimberly Elise

Thankfully, I was given a strong base by my parents, an understanding of who I was and my strength.

I'm very free with all my emotions, whether it's happy, sad, mad, glad, whatever.

I decided to start embracing and wearing my natural hair, but there was only one problem; I didn't know what to do with it or how to style it. Growing up, all I knew was my relaxed, processed hair, so I had to go through this learning phase.

I watched Westerns from the time I was a girl. My dad was a big Western fan. I always loved Clint Eastwood movies and 'Westworld', where the guy gets trapped in a western-themed amusement park. The western motif was fascinating to me.
