Beauty is really cool because it's something that can make you feel good about yourself.
Quote by -Franchesca Ramsey
For me, YouTube was about creating content because I had an interest in beauty and comedy and wanted to find a way to mix those two things, and I could do it from my home, own my own time.
Quote by -Franchesca Ramsey
I'm very self-deprecating, so I'm not afraid to make jokes at my own expense, and I've just found that makes people a little more comfortable and can open the door for people to feel a little bit more understanding and accepting of where you're coming from.
Quote by -Franchesca Ramsey
The Internet is part of my job, so I have to approach it with a level of professionalism. I don't necessarily think it's changed who I am, but if anything, it's impacted the opportunities that have come into my life and the people that I've been able to develop relationships with - which I'm very fortunate and thankful for.
Quote by -Franchesca Ramsey
My channel is an opportunity to give people a new perspective on natural hair. Love what you have and work with what you've got. I think that's really important.
Quote by -Franchesca Ramsey
My hair videos are usually styling videos answering people's questions about natural hair.
Quote by -Franchesca Ramsey
For content creators, it's really important to be honest. Your audience will appreciate if you're stingy with the brands you work with.
Quote by -Franchesca Ramsey
Becoming a police officer is a choice. It's not something you're born into.
Quote by -Franchesca Ramsey
It's important to understand you can't remove the historical context of racially charged stereotypes or slurs as much as we like to pretend that we can.
Quote by -Franchesca Ramsey
Castor oil has long been a used as a remedy for a whole host of ailments including arthritis, digestion, insomnia and even period cramps. But it also stimulates hair growth.
Quote by -Franchesca Ramsey
I'm embarrassed to admit that I thought the world was ending my junior year of high school after a dye job reacted badly with my perm and left me with a sparse and burnt up hairline. Even though I went natural a few years later, my edges never seemed to recover.
Quote by -Franchesca Ramsey
Whether you have locs, natural hair, wear a relaxer, or rock wigs and weaves, thinning edges can be a frustrating issue.
Quote by -Franchesca Ramsey
I'm so inspired by people like Issa Rae who started on YouTube or Abbi and Ilana from 'Broad City' who also started on YouTube.
Quote by -Franchesca Ramsey
I think what's been really awesome about the Internet is the ability to reach people from so many different walks of life and stages in their life.
Quote by -Franchesca Ramsey
When I get to meet my audience when I go speak at colleges or when I'm walking down the street, it's been really eye-opening how many people have been touched to see someone that looks like them on television.
Quote by -Franchesca Ramsey
People feel like using the word 'joke' removes responsibility for the hurt their words may cause. It doesn't; in fact, it may make things worse.
Quote by -Franchesca Ramsey
'Stop playing the victim.' - unless you've been cast in a community theater production of 'Law & Order: SVU,' I'm not sure why anyone would choose to play victim.
Quote by -Franchesca Ramsey
I have really long legs, so I like cropped pants that make it look like I intentionally wanted my pants short instead of pants that happen to be too short for me.
Quote by -Franchesca Ramsey
I love Uniqlo for all the staples, but what I really love are the palazzo pants. They are just so flattering.
Quote by -Franchesca Ramsey
The truth is that the performative nature of social media can turn even the simplest conversations into a WWE style cage match with emojis and Internet slang taking the place of pratfalls and over the top costumes.
Quote by -Franchesca Ramsey
Social media isn't as quaint as it was when I started my Livejournal back in high school.
Quote by -Franchesca Ramsey
If you're brave enough to search 'Franchesca Ramsey' on YouTube, you'll find a sea of ranting white dudes pinning the 'angry black woman' stereotype onto my smiling face.
Quote by -Franchesca Ramsey
My debut book is a collection of personal stories and advice about communication on the Internet. More specifically, the downfall of communication because of the Internet.
Quote by -Franchesca Ramsey
I'm obsessed with cute gym clothes in bright bold prints, so as soon as Mara Hoffman expanded into activewear, I knew my wallet was in danger.
Quote by -Franchesca Ramsey
Over the years, I've found that dealing with white people faux pas can be tricky. If I get upset, I could quickly be labeled the 'angry black girl.' But if I don't say anything or react too passively, I risk giving friends and acquaintances permission to continue crossing the line.
Quote by -Franchesca Ramsey
Growing up, I was constantly labeled an 'oreo' by my black peers because of my proper speech and 'valley girl accent.'
Quote by -Franchesca Ramsey
The Internet has been so good to me; I see its potential to help other people.
Quote by -Franchesca Ramsey
I've had lots of people say, 'Oh, Franchesca's content is just for white people.' But I try to talk about identity in a way that's accessible to lots of people and is not a pointed finger.
Quote by -Franchesca Ramsey
Black women come with all sorts of personalities. So it's time for media to wise up and show us in all of our complexity.
Quote by -Franchesca Ramsey
I'm very fortunate to have a husband and friends and family that are super supportive of my career in all aspects. I do so many different things, it's really nice to have a support network that includes him and my parents and my friends that encourage me to continue to work towards whatever it is that I want to do.
Quote by -Franchesca Ramsey
My undergrad degree was in graphic design, and I don't work in that anymore, but I obviously do a lot of design and editing and Photoshopping, and the Adobe Creative Cloud is essential!
Quote by -Franchesca Ramsey
I think doing research is probably the most valuable thing you can do for any career you're interested in pursuing, and not just a career on YouTube or in media. Really take a look at people whose careers you admire and learning from their successes, but also their mistakes.
Quote by -Franchesca Ramsey
'Lemonade' resonated with me, and I love the direction Beyonce is going with her music and her career.
Quote by -Franchesca Ramsey
I always make sure to moisturize my hair. I love natural oils, coconut oil. Moisture is one thing you can never go wrong with.
Quote by -Franchesca Ramsey
It's just not funny to disrespect other people's beliefs, backgrounds, cultures, or identities when those are deeply rooted in longstanding oppression. Jokes that punch down on marginalized people require no creativity because they've existed since the beginning of time. It's like telling a knock-knock joke and believing you're Richard Pryor.
Quote by -Franchesca Ramsey
The biggest thing I try to do is to unplug and give myself time away from social media and the Internet.
Quote by -Franchesca Ramsey
For me, social media isn't just about connecting with friends and sharing photos; it's a bigger, more tangled web that's led me to jobs working in television, speaking gigs around the country, and it's even helped me land my first book deal!
Quote by -Franchesca Ramsey
In reality, there are tons of unrepresented voices that we don't see in comedy.
Quote by -Franchesca Ramsey
I believe there's a huge conflict of interest when local prosecutors investigate cases of police violence within their own communities.
Quote by -Franchesca Ramsey
I think that if you stay positive and remain positive, you can definitely achieve the things you set out to.
Quote by -Franchesca Ramsey
I love my journal as much as I love my phone. I find it to be a big part of my self-care to reflect on my day and write words that inspire me or paste business cards and pictures.
Quote by -Franchesca Ramsey
For a black activist, for an activist of all walks of life, the Internet has become this kind of meeting place where we can exchange ideas, where we can learn from each other, where we can get inspired about new ways that we can make changes within our own communities and own homes.
