That moment when someone says something negative about you that actually sparks your creativity + growth >>>
That’s what happened when my grandmother balked at my natural hair this weekend. I had attempted to do a flexi-rod set & instead of getting voluminous curls I came out looking a bit more like curly sue. Let’s just say that granny was less than pleased with my newfound appearance. What was an experiment and a commitment on my end to embrace more of my natural hair was a bit seemed to be a bit triggering for my grandmother which brings us to today’s show topic.
Our natural hair versus err’body. Versus our mothers. Versus our aunties. Verus our social spaces and significant others and even our places of work.
Everybody seems to have an opinion on natural hair. Black women’s hair. Textured hair. The way society has viewed and treated this type of hair here in America has always been ugly. & that treatment has now affected how we see our hair for ourselves and it is now time to unlearn some of those ideals. I can’t wait for you to listen and to join in on the conversation.
