I noticed "Vee" sitting by the Washington Square Park fountain because of her pink braids. Although a little conscious at first (and who wouldn't?), she was very willing to pose for my cameras.
I looked up what her hairstyle was called, and realized there are countless styles of braids for women irrespective of race. I think her pink braids are a mix of "yarn braids" and "cornrow braids"...but I might be mistaken. All I know is that it looks good on her.
