Jill Scott is not to be looked over in the trending natural hair movement. The songstress demands attention as ESSENCE’s October cover girl (on newsstands now!), rocking a super sassy TWA (tweeny weeny afro). Jill evokes poise and grace while rocking her short au naturale ‘do.
In the issue, Jill reveals that she’s absolutely loving her new look:
“This is the simplest form of myself. I look in the mirror and it’s like, ‘Here, there you go. What’s up, girl?’ For me, hair is an accouterment. Hair is jewelry. It’s an accessory. Tomorrow I may want a wig down to my butt and I’m gonna rock it, and the next day I may want a big Afro and I’m gonna rock that too…”
A divorce, broken engagement, split from her record label and the abrupt ending of her HBO series The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency were not enough to keep this “Golden” lady down. She also speaks on the recent upswing in her life. She has a new Lifetime TV movie in the works Steel Magnolias, an all-black adaptation of the 1989 film and noted play.
Check out photos from Steel Magnolias below, and check out the film on Lifetime on Oct. 7 at 9pm.
