In this episode, we delve into the intricate world of natural hair, societal beauty standards, and the transformative journey of self-love and acceptance. Join hosts Nachi and Damaris, along with our inspiring guest, Dhayana Alejandrina, as we share personal stories of transitioning from relaxed to natural hair and confronting the societal and cultural pressures tied to beauty.
