HAPPY FRODAY BOOKThe Happy Froday coffee table book was put together with the talented Melissa Gibbs and FroGirlGinny to tell the story of women with natural hair in London. Each story is captured in different places to compliment the diversity of women. The book is dedicated to the people who were once afraid to embrace something so beautiful and rare.
A Happy Froday is love and light. MEET MELISSAFor me this project was not just about their natural hair, it was about their stories and getting to meet incredible girls and capturing their personalities on camera.
If I could change one thing about the natural hair industry it would be hair typing. It shouldn't be about who has a looser curl or bigger hair. It should be about how your journey has helped you grow and about loving yourself as you are! With this project I wanted anyone who gets a chance to flick through the book to get a glimpse at their personalities and their style through my lens. They were all glowing! I felt so inspired by all of them. Hearing their stories, getting to know all of them on a personal level and it being a lot more than just taking their photos. Its a bit like a sisterhood really and i'm so happy to be apart of it and I want everyone to see how beautiful it is through the Froday Movement and I think Ginny is doing an amazing job with that. Their stories were so inspiring that I can't pick one over all of them they were all so inspiring and I hope through this more girls get inspired to rock their natural hair as well! A Happy Froday is the beginning of the weekend to rock your curls. follow her on her journeymelissagibbsphoto.tumblr.com
