At just 21 years old, she is already an accomplished artist thanks to the hairstyles she creates with her braids. An umbrella, a handbag, a camera… She proves her originality daily in what she creates. The difficulty of what she does doesn’t scare her though. Followed by 172,000 people on her Instagram account, the young woman from the Ivory Coast isn’t content with just entertaining her subscribers. She is also very engaged in and a big supporter of spreading the message of equality between men and women throughout the world. Laetitia Ky even showed this support with the hashtag #MeToo on one of her photos where she created an image of a man lifting a woman’s skirt (with her hair). When she was interviewed by an American magazine, she confessed that she uses her body ‘as a canvas to symbolize self-assurance and self-love.’
