1BlessedNatural Feature: Alexus White  My name is Alexus White. I'm a senior from Flora, MS studying Healthcare Administration at Jackson State University. I have been natural for 1 year and 11 months. My two year natural anniversary is coming up soon! :) It has definitely been a journey. I've worn wigs, gotten braids, and have had plenty of sew-ins.

I felt as though it was important for me to embrace my hair, as it would impact her in the future.
