In today’s world where the media paints an unrealistic portrayal of women, and social media plays a huge role in hyping cosmetic trends, this harsh environment makes it hard for women to thrive and even harder for impressionable young girls. With this in mind, to support the self-esteem of young ladies, it’s important to uplift young women so they understand their beauty and can become confident in themselves without enhancements.
Through the years, Black women and young girls struggled to be acknowledged and represented in media. Now, women have started to use social media to present images of themselves and they’ve found ways to nurture and encourage the self-esteem and confidence of their daughters.
Seraya, a Surinamese mother living in the Netherlands, is a great example of a supportive mother who builds up the confidence of her two beautiful daughters, Shanillia and Janelle.
Her Instagram @Shanillia26 is a dedication to their different hair textures.
Shanillia’s crowning glory is tightly coiled and kinky while the tresses of her younger sister, Janelle, hang in loose spiral curls.
Seraya loves her children’s hair and that love is clear with each video and artistically designed hairstyle she creates to showcase their natural beauty.
