Essence: Meet The Gen Z Creators Designing Black Hairstyles For Roblox
When Jasmine B started her journey with Roblox in 2009, she noticed a stark difference in the representation of Black hairstyles among other characters. “There has always been a need for more Black hairstyles on immersive platforms like Roblox,” she told GU.
As Jasmine continues to grow her platform on Roblox, she’s been able to be the changemaker she wanted to see when she joined the community. “When I first joined, I had the opportunity to bring to life things that didn’t exist,” she says. “I was able to create hairstyles I’ve been wanting and wearing in real life, like my parted afro, and bring them to life on the platform, which gave other users more options to express themselves.”
