(funky music)

I am Native American.

I am African American.

I am Puerto Rican and black.

I'm Indian.

I am Jamaican and Haitian.

I'm Japanese.

I am black, Chinese, Irish, and Greek Indian.

[All Girls] And this is my culture.

(laughs) I think there are a lot of stereotypes.

Everyone just looked at me

like I was some type of human zoo thing.

Oh my gosh, who is she?

Like, Is she some type of witch doctor or something?

She's wearing this dark lipstick.

Oh, so do you wear footwear back home?

People ask me, how do I wash my hair?

And I just look like,

Come on, the same way you wash your hair.

I wish the world knew that we do still exist.

I wish that the world knew that not all Native Americans

live in teepees, we don't still live in teepees.

You have something in your hair.

And I'm like, What are you talkin' about?

And she's like,

Yeah someone put like a piece of paper in your afro.

People were tellin' me how much weaves

and hair extensions, and braids and stuff like that

was kind of hood, or ghetto.

Baby hairs were called ghetto or ratchet.

I bumped into this blonde haired girl,

and she had her baby hair.

And it's just so cool

that everyone's embracing the culture now.

Japanese culture is actually so creative.

This is why we have so many different,

regional makeup styles, including this.

When I see people wearing Native American accessories,

and they don't know the meaning of it, I feel disrespected.

We have to understand that it's not an accessory,

you know?

It's not something that we put on our arms

and walk around with because it's just beautiful.

It is literally us.

It doesn't just fall off an eagle

and, Oh here, it's yours, I found it.

You have to earn it.

[Natasha] It shows what a beautiful country

and culture you come from.

I see it as a way to attach myself back to my roots.

Being comfortable in your skin,

and not caring what other people will say.

Being Afro-Latina, you have a lot of hair.

So when I was growing up,

I was always embarrassed of my sideburns,

my mustache, my eyebrows.

[Kyemah] I found it very difficult to be myself.

Because I was comparing myself to others

who had straight hair.

[Brandi] Straightening my hair,

putting all these chemicals in it,

so I decided to go natural.

[Sashamoni] Because I want to be different.

I don't wanna be like anybody else.

Embracing my heritage

was embracing all the hair on my body,

from the hair on my head, to the hair on my toes.

[Daunette] I feel more connected to my ethnicity

with this feather.

[Natasha] And I feel really proud

because I represent my home and my culture.

[Brandi] And now it's my identity and my culture.

I wouldn't change that about myself and I hope anyone else

wouldn't change that about themselves,

even if they don't have an afro.

Whatever grows out of their scalp,

or whatever skin color they are,

you know, just be beautiful who ever you are.

And I think that's something that all young girls

should do, embrace their beauty.
