In early summer, I was fortunate enough to connect with a
young Curlie, who is an up and coming, actress, model, entertainment correspondant and aspiring
ROCK STAR … her name is Brooke of http://www.itsbrookesworld.blogspot.ca
. She is very wise in her nine years and really a joy to meet and talk to. So
it was my great pleasure to interview her and meet her parents. She is
definitely on her way to stardom and a great inspiration to other young Curlies
out there. Keep up the great work Brooke and Thanks for being a part of Canadian Curlies. See our interview below:

Hair Support
I was recently talking to a friend of mine who is natural
and she mentioned that she almost broke down a got a relaxer the other day.

I was in shock and tried to encourage her not to. The thing
is, after thinking about it, I do not think it is right to judge others and try
to tell people what to do. It’s never been my nature so why start now? Another
thing I would like to mention is that I know I will probably be natural for the
rest of my life, now that I’m here and have fallen head over heels in love with
my curls.
Don’t get me wrong there are days when feel like shaving it off into a buzz cut or pressing the hell out of it, but there are also days when my curls reflect my personality the way nothing else can.

The bottom line is, yes I would love for my friend to stay
natural and for us to continue our CURLY journey together, but I know this life
is not for everyone, so I have to respect that.
This brings me to another point that those of us of African descent need to embrace each other whether we are straight, wavy, curly or reppin’ dreads in our hair.
Yes, some styles are healthier than others, but at the end of the day it’s a personal decision and we should not let how people wear their hair change the way we treat them and we should also respect their decision. The truth is we should not even have to consider these thoughts and just be who we want to be and what feels right.
Blessings and Curls,
B-Curlie
