Kim Kardashian defends wearing Fulani braids, says it comes from a ‘real place of love and appreciation’

Kim Kardashian told a panel at BeautyCon L.A. this weekend that despite the backlash she’s received the times she’s worn Fulani braids, her desire to wear them comes from a “real place of love and appreciation.” Last month, she wore the style to the MTV Movie and TV Awards, and fans immediately criticized her on social media for the look, which originated in Africa.
