Special Episode: Last week, as discussed with our Resident Sociologist- Dr. Taura Taylor
Last week was EPIC! The passing of the "Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair" Act (C.R.O.W.N Act) in the House (now on to the Senate, then Executive) with all but 14 Republicans voting against the measure, calling it "unnecessary and a distraction", claiming that protections against hair discrimination already exist in several federal laws...clearly, the interpretation of those protections, at the discretion of the law, have proven to be ineffective, anti-purpose and plainly put- lacking. Also, (drum roll please!) the Senate confirmed Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson (the first) to the highest court in the land; FOR A LIFETIME; the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) with a 53-47 vote (shout out to L. Murkowski (Alaska), S. Collins (Maine) and M. Romney (Utah)- didn't have to but you did; K. Harris was on standby (President of the Senate).
Enjoy and ask questions- Dr. Taylor is here to stay!
