The ocean is where Inaaya feels most like herself. Her long, textured curls shrink, twist, and tangle, and she’s learned to let them do their thing, even when the sun bleaches a few into golden streaks. Her hazel eyes and wild curls reflect her Indian and Black heritage. In her element, she embraces every part of it.
