THIS EDITORIAL PROJECT CAPTURES A YOUNG SUDAN WOMAN WHO HAS A BRAIDING HAIR APPOINTMENT IN HARLEM. BEFORE HER APPOINTMENT, SHE IS EMBRACING THE CULTURE THAT IS REPRESENTED ON 125TH STREET. FROM SEEING LOCAL VENDORS SELLING SHEA BUTTER AND ESSENTIAL OILS, SHE SMILES TO HERSELF BECAUSE IT’S BRINGS BACK MEMORIES FROM HER HOMETOWN.WHILE SHE GET HER HAIR DONE, THE TENDERNESS OF HER SCALP CONSISTENTLY REMINDS OF THE PAIN YET SHE IS EAGER TO SEE THE RESULTS. WITH PAIN COMES BEAUTY, AND THAT’S EXACTLY HOW SHE FELT WHEN SHE LEFT THE CHAIR. WITH HER BRAIDS, SHE NOW FEELS CONFIDENT WHICH WAS DONE RIGHT IN THE HEART OF HARLEM
