Aimee Simeon: You launched your YouTube channel in 2007. Tell me about how you got your start.
Jade Kendle: My YouTube channel started from a tough situation. I've dealt with cyberbullying for almost 10 years. I became tired of it and wanted to show people who I really was. Around this same time, natural-hair videos began to pop up on YouTube. When I saw these women online, I was inspired by how they embraced their natural hair and curls, and I wanted to do that, too. I knew that there had to be girls out there with hair like mine who were searching for the same things I was, so that was really the beginning of me starting LipsticknCurls.
