What is BOLD?

-BOLD is a nonprofit that shoots to BUILD UP BLACK WOMEN IN THE PERFORMING ARTS FOR THE RESTORATION OF CULTURE

Broadway debut in Amelie was WILD for Destinee, but she thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Pandemic talk: Worries, stay-at-home experiences, and hope for the future!

The black hair department has been great for Destinee, filled with educated and knowledgeable help!

As a hard dancer, she’s learned that hair effects the performance aspects of theatre! (Dancing a wig off)

Hair for Amelie was pretty simple, a basic high bun for most actors!

Hair Journey:

-Grew up getting perms at a young age, but her mom did braids for everyone in her community so she often wore braids!

-In high school, she got her first sew in.

-Started perming her hair in high school, but the natural movement started to happen (based on how expensive it was and what everyone else is doing around her)

-Her true natural hair journey happened midway through school when she decided to make the big chop HERSELF!

-By the time she was a senior in high school, she was rocking her natural fro!

Destinee’s GO TO is a wash n go and some clip ins.

Products:

Zuri natural star clip ins

What is one thing Destinee is grateful for?

-Her wonderful community!

-The new iPhone update!
