  • Summary

  • For years natural black hair and styles like braids, locs, and twists have been discriminated against. It was considered “unprofessional” or "distracting” in the workplace and schools. Black women with natural hairstyles on TV and in the media were also a rarity. But that’s changing. Big time.

    In this episode of Now You Know, we spea k to one international journalist about her hair journey and how she’s helping to break barriers for younger generations. We also explore how and why Black women's hair got to be so stigmatised.
