Alyscia Cunningham is an entrepreneur, author, filmmaker, and photographer who has contributed to the Smithsonian, National Geographic, Discovery Channel and AOL. She self-published Feminine Transitions: a photographic celebration of natural beauty and is currently working on her second book and documentary titled I Am More Than My Hair. Both projects were created for the purpose of art for social-change.

Alyscia specializes in promoting our natural beauty because she believes the media does a good job of focusing on our insecurities by bombarding us with ads proclaiming that their appearance without enhancements is inadequate or faulty. Her portraits are unaltered by Photoshop and reveal women as they are naturally, without the façade they put on for others.

Alyscia is also one of the FrontLine Voices for Stop the Beauty Madness, a national campaign focused on changing the dynamics of beauty globally. Her work has been featured in The Huffington Post, Cosmopolitan, Ashton Kutcher’s A Plus Positive Media and Proud2BMe.
