“What if we lived in a world where we were free to protect our hair and take pride in how we do it?”

Cindy Elizabeth's #photography series, "Protect and Serve," showcases the beauty of Black women and men "protecting" their hair while "serving" up looks.

I love diversity.
I love what makes you different than I.
I love learning about how you love to be different than I.
I love knowing everyone is different because it makes me feel good about how I am different. I know things about me that you dont know and i want to proudly be able to tell you all the ways I have found to be me. AND I want you to be able to discover all the ways you are YOU and how different you are from everyone else.

And I love how we fit into these divers little groups. We match the people in our group BUT WE STILL HAVE INDIVIDUALITY.

When people want to force you into their box, THOSE people need help. They have developed a sickness called hate. It starts out small but is more contagious than the worst covid and there is rarely a successful cure.

LOVE IS HARD.
LOVING OTHERS IS HARD
HAVING REAL LOVE IS HARD

Because it means you accept that other person for EVERYTHING they are flaws and all.

LOVE IS THE HARDEST THING TO DO.

LOVE MORE
