Amazing storytelling 💜

Amazing 🥲

I've been a natural for most of my life. Barely manipulate it but still struggling.

Beautiful beautiful hair! Let it breathe and be free

Heavy on the always

❤

Representation really does matter! It hits no matter how old you are. I remember a swim lesson in elementary school. We were getting dressed as a class. Boy and girls separate of course. After the lesson. A girl classmate of mine Jade, her mother was blow drying her hair. I wanted her to blow dry mine too. I realize now that I asked to chart undiscovered ground. I don’t see any moms who looked like mine or that were willing to help. Your story is amazing

My parents made sure me and my siblings knew how to swim from a very young age; I think I learned how to swim before I could walk! Seeing other peoples stories about this makes me so so grateful for their effort

Thanks for the vid ❤ y'all need to listen to '' I am not my hair '' by India.Arie, to understand

this is such a beautiful video i never learnt to swim since there was only a pool at summer camp. i remember playing water hose with my cousin and my hair got wet and i didnt know why my eyes kept burning! it was the hair grease! i wish it was easier to accept our hair like nappy being a insult or like somone sayingyour hair is so hard to deal with

This is been so so beautiful!

i cried omg i love this whole video

wooowww loved this. i loved the way you told a story through film and then told a couple different ones through speech. really really enjoyed this!! so relatable too ❤

A true cinematic masterpiece, you are a masterful storyteller, and the visuals are chefs kiss 🤌. As someone who can do the freestyle/front crawl and backstroke pretty well, I can relate to you trying to learn the breaststroke, it's still such an unnatural stroke to me 😭

I'm Southeast Asian and I have a 2b to 2c curls. In my society straight hair is beautiful if you are not then you'll be called names such as witch and etc. Because of this I grew up not loving my natural hair. Even our parents would give us money to spend for a hair treatment whenever they see curls growing. I'm just glad I bumped into YT videos like these helping me to love my natural hair. Now I'm in 1 year not having the rebond treatment and I hope I could survive this transition period and fully appreciate my natural hair. Thank you creating this video. It' an inspiration. Love you❤

Speaking as a black young teen who had to deal with lots of racism. I remember how hard it was for me to love myself, Because for some reason the way my hair looked mattered to me so much. some days i always used to spend hours trying to straighten my hair to the bone just to fit in with the other girls. My mom told me "i most definitely don't need to change anything for anyone , because my hair doesn't not define who i am in my heart." Ever since then , i've always been confident to wear my natural curly 3c hair without any shame. this video was a beautiful impact to me. 🥹💗!!

I LOOOVE mini twist! That's how I wear my hair 95% of the time.

This was so beautiful thank you so much for this video. I am half Mexican and half black but look more Mexican. The only thing about my features that shows my black side is my very 4c hair when I was younger, my family would just shave it off because I grew up with my Mexican side and they didn’t know how to take care of it so at 30 now I am learning how to finally take care of it love it and accept it this hair is a lot of work, but it’s mine and there is something special about that that I’m learning to love and this video help me appreciate. Lol I have had this hair for my entire life and just started wearing protective stuff at night just doing something like this has made a huge difference in the moisture levels and it’s overall look something small that I didn’t really think about or appreciate before.

You are IT! I thank you so much for being you and so creative! This is amazing, and it's reminding me of *'Little Bill'.*

This was such a joy to watch 🥹 thank you for sharing yourself with us.

Beautiful story. It is crucial that we all know how to swim or at least float.

Can’t find a video I relate to more. When I was in the fourth grade I had gotten my first perm ever, I was excited at first to have nice “Silky Smooth” hair not knowing it would contribute to the frustration I had towards my hair. Fast forward to eight grade (2022), it was when my middle school started opening up after the lockdown and I hadn’t had a perm in a while so my mother put it in two cornrows and send me off to school that same day at lunch I was talking to a few of my classmates and they brought up the topic of hair. Discussing who had nice hair and what not, and when it got to me they all laughed at my hair. And that same month I got a perm and guess what? They started playing with my hair and saying how nice it was. Fast forward to now my hair is now fully natural and I hadn’t had a perm since eight grade and I’m learn to love my curls/coils each day! Lovely video ❤

you are soo pretty and your voice is so calming :)

And no drama, we really don't want the drama, contrary to the popular belief. I hope they will change once they see that Love is Blind UK has higher ratings although they too tried it sprinkling a bit of drama here and there. Love is Blind USA is messy as hell.

lovethis

What pain? I swim, since I was 8 yes old. I am a person of color. Wash your condition it each time, remember skin care as well.

love the storytelling! you're talented!

This is such an amazing and wonderful video for all of us going through this. Why have so many of us felt that hair is more important than the life-saving skill of swimming? We, as a people, better wake up and learn to prioritize the things that will keep us alive. If we are going to be around water, we need to make sure we are prepared in case of any emergency. Learn to swim and make sure our babies know how to swim as well. I love all my sisters and brothers. Take care! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

This is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing, you are such a gifted story teller and film producer! I can’t wait to see more of your films!

Damn you’re Beautiful ❤

beautiful storytelling and takes. your hair is gorgeous!

I refuse to let my hair limit me ❤

I was put in swimming lessons growing up and this video was soooo relatable. My mom forced me to wear a swim cap as my hair would weigh me down when I swam laps, and she didn’t want to re-do my hair. I was embarrassed as the white kids wouldn’t wear caps. One thing that made it easier was having my sister with me and another black girl. Even though I hated those lessons this video made me grateful, and thankful for that experience. I remember all three of us jumping into deep water for the first time and it was freeing.

The moment you realize this film will become something historical 😊❤ This is a masterpiece 😊 The Story alone is brilliant 💕🥹🙌

The cinematography ❤😊

The cinematography ❤😊

Yassss ❤

37 seconds in and I'm already saying WTF. Wetting an apple isn't the same as washing it. Who the hell puts hair product on their furniture? What is wrong with this girl?

You are a master storyteller, Kelsia! I was hooked from the beginning, and I kept saying out loud, "This is so good. This is so good." I cried and I clapped for you. I can't imagine how much effort this takes to do, but keep at it! You're helping the Black girls who need it most. I'll be sharing your content however I can.

Your storytelling, I felt your childhood story deeply ❤ beautiful video. I also adore Pattern beauty. I’m saving up for the steamer! I use the entire line for both my partner and I.

I love seeing this. Our natural hair is beautiful. 😊

Ummm love this?!?!?! I haven’t seen a lot of videos featuring storytelling and natural hair this was so good!!!!

Thats the Best video about black womanhood i have seen in the past 10 yezrs

A huge part of the problem is the historical banning of Black people from the public pools in parks, hotels, and everywhere else. This also meant we were barred from having access to swim schools. The disproportionate number of drownings involving Black children has very little to do with our not wanting to get our hair wet and far more to do with segregation and discrimination. As a result, many Black people began to regard swimming (like golf, tennis, skiing, camping, etc.) as white people activities. Let’s be real, white people literally made many “public” spaces UNSAFE or OFF LIMITS for Black people. I am an African American born in the 1960s and spent my early childhood in Santa Monica, CA. For maybe two summers in a row, our mother took us to the “Y” to take whatever lessons we wanted. In those days there was the YMCA and the YWCA. They offered martial arts, ballet and tap dancing, trampoline and tumbling, etc. I believe the classes were free. One year, my sister got into the ballet and tap class, but there wasn’t a spot for me. Reluctantly, I chose swimming. I was four or five years old. Eventually, all the other kids dropped out and I was getting private lessons. Swimming has been one of my favorite pastimes ever since. I made sure my daughter had lessons too.

Interesting timing. I did the big shop in 2017 and yes, natural hair vs. relaxed hair in chlorinated swimming pool water made a world of difference showing up to class as it was the same time I decided to learn to swim as an adult. What's so interesting about the timing of this video is that for the past 6 months, I've been contemplating relaxing my hair. Thank you for reminding me/us that black hair is beautiful!

What a beautiful short film! Well done!

I love this! I wish I would have known about these products as my daughter learned how to swim this summer. It was important that she learned so that her life is in her own hands while in pools. She thinks she's Ariel now with her flips and strokes. I love that for her.

Thank you for reminding me to sign myself and my children up for swimming lessons. What beautiful storytelling skills you have. 💛

Love Seeing Me!

Beautiful black princess... keep up the outstanding work. This was a well done video with relevant product placement! It was inspiring, hopeful, encouraging and included a lesson. I wish u one million followers and am wondering what line of work you aspire to, journalism? Writing? This was A BEAUTIFUL PIECE ❤.
