With dancing, I think the reason it’s worked for me, and I love it so much, is because I’ve trained my entire life. Once you train, you develop your own aesthetic and your confidence. So I think, as I grow, I’m learning how to be a singer. I’m training my voice and being on stage and singing and dancing. Jillian Hervey Read Quote

I think for women, especially women of colour, hair has so much to do with our identity and our confidence levels. I’ve made a conscious choice after growing up and feeling insecure and trying to achieve this look that actually wasn’t me, where I’ve finally stopped relaxing my hair and went back to my natural texture.

I feel like my Lion Babe look is an embellishment of my everyday look – it’s definitely more extravagant and more artistic. Jillian Hervey Read Quote
