The Essence of Beauty

Essence Magazine got it right in their May issue, featuring three iconic natural beauties. Solange Knowles, Lidisi Anibade and Erykah Badu all graced the the cover individually and brought life to the spring issue with their expressions of beauty. They share the common interest of music but have very unique style. Although their personal styles are different, they all embrace their natural roots and represented for the natural community big time!!!

Solange believes in having the freedom to express herself through her hairstyles and don't believe in being placed in a box as far as her style is concerned.

Ledisi says that her hair is one of her best accessories and that changing it up helps express who she is.

Erykah views her hair as functional art and although she loves styling, it is never done with the intent of making a statement.


These Bold, Beautiful, Black women are trendsetters in their own right and are an inspiration to me for having chosen to rock a natural look. Kudos Essence!!!
