"Some people like it; some people hate it. I don't care either way. I did it because I really wanted people to see my face. The thing about me and having dark hair is I felt like I was hiding and the white hair feels like a light bulb,"
"You can't miss me. I just stopped being afraid of my face. My hair was really long and I just want to spend less time doing it and have you see my face. Never want to hide behind hair. It's fun and easy to dress."
"I'll tell them to look at Aborigines in Australia who have beautiful, naturally blonde. hair. I'll tell them to look at my cousin who is a redhead. And I'll tell them that hair color isn't pigment,"
"And what about the White women who go and get a jheri curl and dye their hair black? Hair dye is hair dye. My hair still grows in black at the root and I don't run to the hairdresser when it happens. I don't feel like me having blonde hair stops me from wanting to encourage Black women. I'm very happy being Black. It's something I'm very proud of, and specifically being Nigerian, I couldn't run away from it if I tried."
