Introduce yourself.
My name is Jaynelle Nicole. I am a beauty and natural hair blogger. I share tips, tricks, and tutorials regarding beauty to educate, build confidence, and inspire women; especially women of color. I was born in Grand Turks, which belongs to a cluster of islands known as Turks and Caicos. My family and I moved to Mount Vernon, NY when I was about three years of age so New York has always felt like home but the West Indian culture runs deep in my blood.
Describe your style and what inspires you to wear what you wear.
My style varies depending on my mood, but my go-to look is tomboy chic. Sometimes, I’ll go straight up “boy” with a beat face. Other days, I may stunt in a casual but sensual look. In high school, I used to think beauty was pain. Over the years, the idea of being uncomfortable to please the eyes of others faded. Teyana Taylor, Ciara, even Missy Elliot definitely had a major influence on my sex appeal in a baggy ensemble.
