While catching up on my YouTube video-watching this morning, I caught this one by AskProy. I’ve talked before about embracing your kinks, sharing a PSA from vlogger CharyJay. This is yet another great expression of that message! PRoy is definitely in my head as she breaks down a few reasons why she loves her kinky textured hair (often referred to as “Type 4”) and why you should too! I’m with…
