USING MY AFRO TO ILLUSTRATE SUCCESS ON SOCIAL MEDIA

By Claire Worthington

Claire x 4

If you know me offline, you'll be well aware that my hair changes on a regular basis. If you know me online then you'll probably know that I post a random selection of content on different platforms from time to time and that most of that content gets a minimal response. Most of the things I post get no response whatsoever (unless you count spam), nor should they, most of it isn't worth responding to.

By Claire Worthington

October is Black History Month here in the United Kingdom and so far I have spent it all with my natural hair. It isn't a deliberate statement but the timing does seem to work. I still scowl at my reflection in the mirror first thing in the morning, but I'm OK with it. My hair looks the same as it did when I was eleven, but the main difference is that I now bother combing it properly and putting a bobble in it.
