Moses on hair as pride and protest: “My style is an act of rebellion against the homophobic and transphobic views consistently found in many Black and African communities, and my braids aid in that rebellion. My gender identity has nothing to do with the way that I choose to style my hair. Fuck gender norms. My braids are so important to me because they are my way of embracing my Nigerian culture and my queerness in a world that does not want to see both together. My braids are a reflection of my roots as an African, but they are also a reflection of my queerness.”
