Marlene’s cousin is having her quinceañera, so Marlene is at the salon with her Mami to get her thick natural curls smoothed and straightened. It’s painful, time-consuming, and necessary to make Marlene “presentable” - even beautiful? - for the festivities.

Will Marlene find a way to embrace her curl power? I can't wait to read more when FRIZZY arrives in October of 2022!! 📚 🎨 🖌 👩🏽🦱
