Fam, what we think of ourselves & what our values are will reflect in our bank accounts. Hence, the intro includes “the way we think ultimately affects our financial decisions.” But, how much value, if any, do we attach to our hair? Are we more concerned about what’s on our heads than what’s in our heads? Also, does that down payment at your local salon guarantee that future opportunities will be coming your way?  Join Joy where she chats about  

  

a)     Backdoor salons & underground barbers

b)     Apartheid’s Pencil Test: A Classification based on hair textures.

c)     Pretty Privilege & Hair Privilege 

d)     Date My Family & Girlfriend Allowances

e)     Beauty Benchmarks

f)      Her personal hair journey
