Helen Lawal is Miss Black Britain 2008 and a natural. I recently read an interview in Pride, and she made it clear that she loves her natural hair. I do too… can you say gorgeous?
Currently she is studying at the Hull York Medical School (HYMS) at the University of York
Helen has found herself in demand since the ceremony, with invitations to exclusive events such as the African Music awards and the Screen Nation awards.
However, she insists that juggling everything will not impair her future career as a doctor.
“Everyone has been really supportive, though I know a few people were a bit sceptical that I could combine the two.
“There have been rumours that I was going to give up medicine, but nothing could be further from the truth. Becoming a doctor is my priority,” she pledged.
Beautiful and smart -love it!
