I have a mother who never took no for an answer when it came to her creative pursuits. She started a hair salon in her spare bedroom and four years later had 30 employees.

Opening Ceremony is my number one favorite place to shop here. It's the only place I'll shop in New York with my son. All of the sales people are so cool; the music is great; it's just like a big fun house, so he stays entertained.

My earliest love, which was sort of an obsession, actually, was Nas. I was in seventh grade, I believe, when 'Nastradamus' was out, and I took it pretty far.

My name, Solange, means 'Angel of the sun,' and I'm completely enamored of my African history. The culture is so expressive.

My son spends as much time with his dad as he does with me.

I think many people, especially from other cultures, just don't understand the role hair plays in black women's lives.

Whether it be a red eyeliner or a graphic line on the crease of my lids, I'm more attracted to the ideas of something interesting than being 'pretty.'

I felt like when I took my weave out, I wasn't pretty, I wasn't noticeable.

Just going through a marriage and a divorce - which I essentially did by 21 - will give you an insane amount of perspective on life.

When you take care of yourself, you're a better person for others. When you feel good about yourself, you treat others better.
