“I used to go through products quickly, because I was using too much as...” — Lauren Ridloff Quote

“I used to go through products quickly, because I was using too much as a curly hair person.”

“I think that subtitles benefit everyone: deaf, hard of hearing, hearing.”

“I think it's so critical that we continue to push for more representation behind the camera because that's when we actually get out of that dangerous area of stereotyping and instead tell authentic stories.”

“I read someplace that when I was signed to EMI, they reeled in the 'hit-makers.' The presumption is that 'cause you're a young girl, black, smiley, with curly hair, you can't have written the songs. It totally winds me up.”

“I think what is magic about black-girl hair is, at its basic level, it's just resilient. It can go from straight to curly in the same day. It's just transformative. When you don't feel so strong, the hair can be a sign of empowerment.”

“I straighten my hair very few times throughout the year, and it's only in the cold winter months because it's the only time my hair will stay straight. If there is, like, a tiny bit of humidity in the air, it's curly again.”
