What is a Canadian Naturalista?

Here is a breakdown of what we believe to be a Canadian Naturalista.

1. Confident:
A Canadian Naturalista is a confident woman. She wears her kinks and coils in all its beauty, and is unafraid of what the skeptics think. She is poised in her walk and controlled in her talk. This woman holds her head high as her curls beautifully float with the wind and respond to the "pep in her step". She commands attention as she walks into a room and exudes beauty with every step that she makes. A Canadian Naturalista is confident because she recognizes the wealth of her beauty and lives understanding her worth.

2. Strong:
A Canadian Naturalista is a strong woman. She challenges the "system" and defies societal perceptions of beauty. This woman is resilient in her approach to staying true to herself, which in itself, fosters even more strength. She continues to transform the minds of the "on-lookers", and inspires them to believe in the awesomeness of natural beauty. Though often pressured by the demands of a professional workplace, the lack of "straightness" in her tresses, and harsh stares of misunderstood persons, she is still able to wear her hair exactly how she feels. A Canadian Naturalista is strong because she refuses to succumb to external demands of society, but holds her own instead.

3. Inspirational:
A Canadian Naturalista is an inspirational woman. She is fully aware that she has been beautifully created, and walks in this. This woman allows her inward beauty to be expressed externally and motivates others to do the same. The way she styles her curls and rocks her hair is beyond words. She offers hair tips and tricks when she can, while encouraging others to embrace their natural roots as well. A Canadian Naturalista is inspirational because she isn't afraid to showcase her kinks and curls, regardless of the opinions of others.

So much more can be said about a Canadian Naturalista. Here are just a few qualities and character traits that she possesses. Ultimately, this post speaks as a reminder of characteristics we need to maintain. Let us not be ashamed to personify these traits, but instead embrace them as we continue our natural hair journeys.
