Black and Beautiful: Michelle Obama, Jada Pinkett Smith, Laverne Cox and More Rally Around 4-Year-Ol [View all]
This will break your heart and still make you smile.
……………………..
This past week, 4-year-old Ariyonna learned a lesson not just in her beauty, but the beauty in her community.
The young girl became the center of attention last week after a video of her saying “I’m so ugly,” as she was getting her hair done went viral. Shabria, the Atlanta-based hairstylist who filmed the interaction, immediately chastized and comforted the young girl.

The video struck a nerve with black women around the world. In the last week, many rallied around Ariyonna to give her messages of affirmation.
Forever first lady Michelle Obama spoke to Ariyonna on her Instagram stories: “You are gorgeous. In a world that sometimes tries to say otherwise, I want to tell you—and every other beautiful, intelligent, brave black girl—just how precious you are.”
It's Instagram and I can't post the video. Watch it.
