009 Hair Discrimination (Our personal experiences and views)

All 8 of the 40 Something ladies discuss THEIR hair and THEIR personal views on how THEIR hair has been received and commented on growing up and, still is...

This episode clearly brings up some experiences suffered...yes, suffered when it comes to Afro hair.

What is good hair and who determines what good hair should look and feel like???

In the work place...why is black hair always commented on? Does it make others feel uncomfortable? Does it make you feel uncomfortable? Is it micro aggression? Or is it pure inquisitiveness?

Have you experienced hair discrimination from within your own race/culture? Believe me, it exists!!!

If your hair is of a particular length and/or texture, are you asked about whether it’s real or whether you got ‘some kind of mix in you’?

Do we need to accept the diversity in our own race before we expect it from others? Does this backdate to the slavery casting system?

This new generation is much more confident and accepting of what they can do with their hair. - something to be celebrated, the embracing of Afro hair!!!
