    This is Massy Arias, a badass Afro-Latina, fitness expert, Covergirl, and mother.

    This is Indi, Massy's adorable daughter.

    Earlier this month, Massy shared a picture of her natural hair and explained she chopped it all off because she wants her daughter to understand her heritage and feel beautiful in her own skin.

    Massy, who suffers from mild scalp psoriasis, also explained she grew tired of all the maintenance straightening her hair took, and the stress it put on her scalp.

    She's still getting used to her natural hair, but says she feels liberated. She's also still trying to find the best products to use.

    And all of her followers are obviously here for it.
