Kamala Harris Chooses to Wear Her Hair Straight — and That's OK
The other day, my sister and I were at Target when a young Black girl approached us smiling saying, "Hey, your hair looks like mine!"
My hair was styled in Bantu knots and my sister was wearing non-synthetic individual braids. This moment was significant for the Black child in our majority white town. It signified that her hair was normal, acceptable, and beautiful. Similar sentiments were felt all around the world, specifically by the Black community, as we saw ourselves in newly sworn-in Vice President, Kamala Harris.
