I'll be Darned

The Halo Collective is and organisation that aims to champion a new code for employers, so that they proactively take a stand to ensure that no member of their community faces barriers or judgments because of their Afro-textured hair.

This is a key talking point for many Black employees, battling workplace dress codes - official or unofficial - is part of everyday life. People are forced to choose between a potential career on the one hand, and our cultural identity and hair health on the other.

I was lucky enough to talk to a close friend of mine Stephanie, who also happens to be a member of the group who created and have been pushing this influential campaign

Then we have some general convo about the times we’re living in, Corona Chrismas and then the good ol “Am I the Asshole” segment to fin.

In this Episode of darn.exe Darnell and Nathanael talk about the Entanglement of Will and Jada. And whether there is a right side to this subject.

They have a look at the dangers of sailing and the recent death of a former glee star Naya Rivera

They debate whether Halle Berry is transphobic, in her recent tweets about a transgender movie role she was pursuing.

And then we conclude with a discussion about the controversy surrounding the “Fox Eye Challenge” in order to gain insight into the broader subject of cultural appropriation. Was the offense justified? We get some snippets from friends to get a bit closer to answering that question.
