    WOW! I totally agree with the other comments, you are a natural, you were so relaxed and poised, I thought for sure it was scripted. You go girl! Your like the Martin Luther King Jr. for Natural hair!
    I have a dream…all curlie/nappy/kinky/coily heads will be treated equally one day. And the way we are treated won't be based on what's on the outside of our heads but what's on the inside. We shall overcome sterotypes some day. We are truly proud of you!

  • CURLYNIKKI says:

    Thank you guys!!! I was so nervous… they gave me no prep, there were no makeup artists (Tyra show spoiled me), no mirrors to fix my hair, no nothing! I also had NO idea what she was going to ask, and after they mic'ed me up, we went live like 2 minutes after that. My heart was beating out of my chest! Yikes. I'm happy you guys liked it. I love the comments about y'all putting a voice with my face 🙂 You guys are the best! I inspire you? This community inspires me everyday to continue to update the blog! Thanks curlies!

  • Anonymous says:

    Love it! I didn't find your blog until about 10 months ago. I love that you desire to teach women and want to learn yourself from other women who have natural hair. I believe your career and being a natural hair guru by night works hand – in- hand for you! You definitely inspire me to keep going on my natural journey.

  • T says:

    GO GIRL!! You are really an inspiration Nikki please keep it going because so many women need to see and know their beauty beyond what they look like on the outside.

    FANTABULOSO! I am sooo proud of our Nikki! Great job – fierce hair and outfit. I have been stopping random people in the streets, at my job, etc. that have natural hair (I'll talk to anybody) and telling them about your website for insite and helpful tips. My Mother and I are "natural" beauties. She did the BC a few months back and is loving it. She was struggling trying to find a style that would "work with" her body chemistry/hormones during "the change" [those hot flashes will do a number on short relaxed hair] and she could never maintain a style [bless her heart]. So with the support of my Dad [they are so cute/married for 30 years] she decided to BC a few months back [my Dad actually did the honors with his clippers] and she has not looked back. It's a beautiful thing b/c I have NEVER seen my mother au naturale. She has so much confidence and her scalp is healthier now [she suffered for years from extremely dry scalp; the verdict is in re the culprit for that ….. creamy-crack chemicals]. I am currently "transitioning" with micros and I visit your site EVERY day. I am sooo excited. Your website is a God-send. The inspiration and diligence that you have poured out among us has been a blessing to many. You are truly walking into your destiny, doing what you love to do and helping others along the way. Keep up the great work because there are more great things ahead, you just wait and see! Work it gura work it! EO

  • Claudette says:

    I love the outfit, love the interview! Great job 🙂

  • miznissi says:

    Now, aaaaall you have to do is keep up the work. But you gotta work fast. Get on Oprah, continue to make appearances on her show, and then you'll come out with your very OWN show. I'm rooting for ya! lol….Congrats! You looked great.

  • Freda says:
