Hello everyone,
You know that natural hair is not a fad when the NY Times dedicates an op-doc video to the topic: NY Times video on natural hair. Ms. Zina Saro-Wiwa (read more about her here) does a fabulous job narrating the video (she is also director, producer and camera). Plus, she has a big chop in the video! I also love how Ms. Saro-Wiwa deals with the media's near universal depiction of Black women wearing wigs and weaves. I am sentimental and I find myself in tears as I watch the video. I am so proud to be part of this return to our authentic selves.
What do you think?
I LOVED this video. Ms. Zina Saro-Wiwa really painted a clear picture for what "going natural" really means and how hair in the Black community is more than just hair - to me it is a political movement, emotional journey, and a personal statement about a woman's life.

Hi Jess,
ReplyDeleteWell congratulations on your company Techturized. As a professor at Babson College (the #1 entrepreneurship program) I'm aware of the honor of being in an accelerator program. Go ladies!!!!! At some point, I'd love to interview you and your team for my soon-to-launch website, hairasidentity.com. It sounds like our interests overlap. Stay tuned and thanks so much for reading my blog. :)
