@ShalishaChina1 shared:
"Thank you, sis. I'm a natural beauty and wear weave because my hair doesn't grow since after pregnancy. I used to wear makeup every day due to the bad skin I developed after giving birth as well. My skin is good now and I don't put on makeup every day anymore."

"Don't ever regret speaking your truth because of people's behaviour. Never ever back down on what you stand for."
@MsRebrand replied:
"I am glad you see this. That's a great introspection Ntsiki. The only thing this does is divide black women further and give ammunition to misogynists. They don't see your views as valid but see them as a weapon against other women."
