@ajodudu is one of our October digital cover stars! “For the next generation of Black people, I hope that they recognise their sauce and their beauty from the youngest age...It’s really amazing that, at the age of 34, I finally feel confident. All the things I didn’t like about my tough, coarse, afro hair; I now love. But it’s taken me so many years and I think it’s such a shame. I really hope my nieces, nephews, cousins, and all Black people in the diaspora know that their skin, their hair, their everything is unique to them and is beautiful because of that.” Digital cover stars @ajodudu, @leomieanderson and @itstayce, chat all things Black beauty with @itsvanesem in celebration of Beauty Month on Cosmo.
