Welcome to Roots & Reflections!

Hey there! I’m Popoai, the voice behind this space where I blend my love for culture, personal growth, and of course, reflections on the twists and turns of life. What started as a blog to share my natural haircare journey has blossomed into a platform to explore the world through the lens of pop culture, identity, and the things that shape us.

Roots and Reflections is a place where I dive into everything from the latest TV shows, films, and music, to social issues and lifestyle musings—all from the perspective of someone who values the stories, voices, and moments that shape who we are.

The “roots” of this blog come from my own personal experience of embracing my natural curly hair, but it’s grown into something much bigger—a space for reflection on the media, experiences, and ideas that resonate with me (and hopefully, with you too). Whether you’re here for the culture deep dives, the occasional thought piece, or just to connect over shared passions, I’m so glad you’re here!

So, come for the reflections, stay for the conversations. Let’s dive in!
