Napturalista Moji was inspired by Black women of the Natural Hair movement with an aim to create a healthy appreciation for the natural beauty that black women and girls possess.
“Black women/girls are too often relegated to the margins in conversations of beauty, desirability and worth. With Napturalista Moji we are bringing ‘Sistas’ to the centerfold. We’ve carved out a digital space to affirm Black Women that is free from encroachment and appropriation. In short, we’re here to give credit where credit is due. We hope you’re here for it too.”

“History has shown that when we look to
others to create representations of/for us, we either end up waiting for a mighty long time, thoroughly
disappointed in the end-result, or both. We must produce as much, if not more, than we consume.”
Amen.
If you want to support this project, and we hope you do, go to the kickstarter page now (they only have till June 26 to meet their goal) and give just $5, more if you can. It does add up! Also visit their website to sign up to keep in touch with them. We expect that this is just the beginning for this creative, boss-ass team!
