#AllBlackGirlsDont took off last week and many of the results were both empowering and enlightening. The hashtag was used by many Twitter users to help exemplify that black women are far from monolithic. Check out a few of the tweets that shined a light on the many faces of black womanhood.

Kilo Kish(04 of15)
The musician keeps her natural hair wild and free, and we think it looks awesome. But it doesn't come easy! Kish explained to Into The Gloss that her natural hair "is actually harder to maintain than straightened hair or weaves; it takes a lot of work." Well, that work is paying off, because her hair is amazing. (credit:Donato Sardella via Getty Images)
