I used to HATE my curly hair. 😞

For years, I straightened my curly hair every single day.  I thought my curls were messy, unruly—something to be fixed.

But the truth? My rejection of my curls was just another way I was rejecting myself. 💔

I was rejecting my Polynesian identity without even realising it. I had been taught—like so many of us—that our features, our hair, our natural selves weren’t “good enough.” And that lie kept me from fully embracing who I am.

In this episode, I’m sharing how I unlearned the belief that my natural hair wasn’t good enough and what it taught me about self-love, worthiness, and embracing ALL of who I am. Because how many of us are still at war with parts of ourselves, trying to fit into a version of beauty that was never meant for us?

Tune in now, Queen—this one’s for you. 🎧✨
