One of our most touching interviews in #DarlingIssue24 is with @niathelight. Last summer, Nia realized that the identity she had so enjoyed as a spokeswoman for natural, big hair was taking over in a negative way. The story that you’ll read in this interview led to a dramatic turn in February of this year, when she planned, filmed, and photographed the cutting off of her beautiful locks. Since then, she has become even more vocal in speaking to her audience about body positivity, pointing out her own acne scarring and stretch marks, embracing who she is, and keeping us all smiling and dancing in the process! | Photo by @evahaftmann via #DarlingIssue24 - Visit the link in our bio to grab a copy of this issue—it’s almost sold out!
