Welcome to my series entitled “Behind
her Eyes”, a dedication to the many facets of a person I love so
much; my sister Deena! She is so entirely beautiful and her
personality so complex, she inspires me everyday. This series is my
attempt to showcase some aspects of her nature, in hopes that I do
her some small form of justice. In hopes that this series transcends
to highlight just how wonderful and multidimensional of a person she
really is; in hopes some glimmer of it resonates.
Deena is an avid 'naturalista'. She
loves her natural hair and embraces that side of her racial heritage
fully. She was the first one of us girls (my mother and myself) to
make the decision to cut off her relaxed hair and start fresh. In my
eyes this 'naturalness' is mirrored in her attitude towards life. I
admire her realness, her capacity to unabashedly express her opinions
with conviction. She inspires me to be brave everyday, however but
also to be kind.
This look was inspired by these
qualities. The earthy tones used are reminiscent of her robust
personality, while the golden tribal accent on her forehead is worn
with confidence.
