Afrocentric was created to showcase the extent of variety of Black hair. To show the different types of Black hair in terms of texture, accessories, and rawness. To show the simplicity and the complexity of Black hair. The different forms that Black hair can take and make. To show the connection of hair and identity.

Half-Angel Half-Amazing takes inspiration from the Nas lyric “Nas is like Afrocentric Asian: Half man, Half amazing” but in this moment, the amazing part is being black and not the angelic part.
