The model, activist and Kérastase ambassador talks exclusively to marie claire in Paris about her childhood trauma, feelings of inadequacy and how her hair reflects her internal growth

Being able to share what I've been through has opened so many doors for me. It has placed me in a position where I can now show women how to embrace their truth.

I DECIDED TO [let my hair] go natural at the end of 2015. [Before that] I did a fashion show at New York Fashion Week where I had my afro straightened. There were four people using super-high heat on it. [After that experience] my hair was falling out, so I cut it off.
