S2E6 - Me, My Black Hair & I: A Story of Power and Pride (Part 2)
Black hair isn’t just style—it’s belonging, visibility, and becoming. In Part 2, we sit down with Nicole to trace how finding community at a historically Black high school reshaped how she saw herself—from getting her first cornrows in the library to finally feeling free to just be. We talk about why representation matters, the shift from ‘90s straight-hair standards to today’s celebration of natural textures, and how icons like Beyoncé and Michelle Obama helped people of the community reclaim their narratives. We also get honest about now: the insecurities that linger, the routine that keeps changing, and the decision to let our hair be—as our lives evolve. This is a conversation about pride, presence, and standing ten toes down in who we are.
