Aliyahs Interlude

On November 25, 2023 the content creator posted her vacation photos in Jamaica in a pink bikini and matching hair, earmuffs and her moon boots. She later headed to Twitter and discovered she topic of discussion as some people loved, while others hated on, the look. “When I saw that, I just knew I was in the right position in my career,” she says. “If nobody’s hating on you, first of all, you’re not popping, like you think you are, like, you need like a good amount of haters.”

Seeing the hate also showed her how much love and support she had as people online came to her defense as she showcased her signature look and opened up a larger conversation regarding young Black girls and their creative freedom.

“We need to have less judgment on Black girls,” she said. “Any other race gets the liberty to express their fashion freely, but when Black girls do it or get the chance to do it, it’s always just unprovoked hate, especially within the Black community. I think we need to be more opened minded about things.”
