Alicia Keys is on the cover of fault magazine and she is devoid of any make up. Opening up on confidence and finding her beauty, the actress also talked about the female struggle for beauty.
''We all get to a point in our lives (especially girls) where we try to be perfect. Does it start somewhere in second grade after picture day when you wear your frizzy hair out 'cause your mama says it's beautiful but all your "friends" laugh at you?
You grab the brush and gel and pull your beautiful big hair back into the tightest ponytail you possibly can to contain your unique hair in a bun hiding a piece of who you are in order to fit into a picture of what others seem to see as perfection. Yeah, that's one moment.
"One thing I appreciate hearing from people who have known me for years, is when they tell me “Alicia, you’re still the same.” Of course I’m not, I’m a woman now and much wiser and I have more understanding of my life, music and art but I am still the same spirit.
Fearlessness and becoming more comfortable in my own skin and caring less about what I would say or do, was always at the core of my original work, now with all the life I’ve lived and all the things I’ve learnt, I am still the very same."
Has she changed over the years?.
