It tells me that there has finally been movement where our black girls are understanding that they can stand in the essence of themselves and that, as they have been created, they are the norm.
What if your hair could tell a story? In this heartwarming episode of 'Life Unscripted', host Janice Arnoldi introduces us to Normani Hamilton, a remarkable 10-year-old who has penned a book called 'My Beautiful Hair'. Alongside her is Kerry Goring, a seasoned hairdresser, who dives into the rich cultural tapestry that Black hair represents. Normani's journey of self-acceptance and pride in her natural hair is both inspiring and empowering.
She shares how writing her book helped her embrace her unique beauty and encouraged other young girls to do the same. Kerry adds depth by discussing the historical and cultural significance of Black hair, its role in identity, and the often overlooked impact of chemical treatments on health. This episode isn't just about hair; it's about celebrating individuality, fostering self-love, and understanding the deep roots of cultural identity. Tune in for a conversation that's as enlightening as it is uplifting.
