Black girl Quote by Quinta Brunson
“I was fortunate to have a sister who styles hair and a sister who braids hair. I really grew up wanting for nothing as a young Black girl. They were doing hair when I didn't want my hair done. I'd be like, 'I'm good. I don't want... ' She was like, 'No, I need to use you as a guinea pig to test out this style.' So my hair was always fly.”
