All of our lives, we are told to stay true to ourselves and stand for what we believe in. Does that really cut it in the real world? Let’s narrow down this subject: Natural Hair in the Corporate World. While it is slowly being more recognized and appreciated, there is still a lot of prejudice against natural hair in Corporate America.This includes people of all races! Even black people prejudge women with natural hair like we’re hippies or something (no offense hippies)! I myself do not have this issue at my job, seeing my boss has a TWA with no intent in growing out, but I see it everywhere. Why is it, a naturalista maybe interviewing for a job, wearing a BOMB twist out doesnt get a call back, but go back to the same company with weave and get the job? I truly don’t blame this on the people, but on the lack of knowledge. You can not appreciate what you don’t understand. Soooo… I want to challenge you to educate someone on the subject of natural hair this month as we celebrate black history. If it’s posting a quick fact on Facebook or Twitter or talking to someone while stand in line at the grocery store, let’s tell our stories and allow our voices to be heard!
“I have a dream that one day women with permed hair, natural hair, relaxed hair, quick weave, extensions, and all that good stuff will stand together hand in hand knowing that each of them are BrAshfully beautiful from the inside out!!” – Ash in BrAsh <3
