In this episode hosts Sarah Humphrey and Mike Narocki talk with former NFL football player and now author Matt Forte about his new book, My Hair Can.

Celebrate what your hair can do! This joyful, rhyming picture book invites diverse girls and boys to embrace their natural hair with an uplifting reminder of their self-worth.

My hair has roots from many places under the sun,

telling the story of my ancestors and where I come from.

I can shake my hair like a baby with a rattle,

or cut it all off to support my friend’s battle.

What can your hair do? From cool curls to crisp fades, from long locs, to beaded braids, bright joyful illustrations of diverse children burst from each page inspiring self-love and positive self-esteem. But hair love is more than knots, locs, and mohawks. Discover the power of cutting your hair in solidarity with a sick friend or celebrating your heritage with hairstyles from your ancestral roots.

My Hair Can is an encouraging reminder for young readers about loving their hair, respecting differences, and celebrating their God-given uniqueness.
