I spoke with Black college students who do hair as means to pay tuition and other living expenses.
This is a story about history, politics, university policy and trust me — it's far more complicated than you may think.

In my 29 years of life... I never really thought I'd see a girl like Jalaiah — a Black teen who has gotten appropriate credit for starting a dance movement — on the cover of a magazine. I grew up knowing Jalaiahs. I think a lot of Black girls see a big part of themselves in her.

when i talk about certain reporters being so hell bent on taking up space and getting high off Twitter engagement that it blinds their own judgement, this is what i mean. They really think this is part of their job. It’s really really not.

this was NOT meant to be a black elitist traveler thread (LOL). I just feel like Mona Lisa has been fed as this "traditionally beautiful" woman, and when I see black women stand confidently in front of it, i think it pushes back against this notion of who is "beautiful."

It’s hard to wrap your head around the unbreakable confidence it takes to be a female pop artist if you aren’t one. No less, during a pandemic and a movement for Black life.

"The perception that a man wearing a crop top must be gay, in the closet or at the very least feminine is almost ironic given that the garment’s birth is actually credited to one of the most hyper-masculine activities of all time, American football."

Here are three things that Rihanna does not have time for. One: the craze for soaking hair extensions in apple cider vinegar before braiding them. More comfortable, yes, but, as she asks me incredulously, “And then smell like what? A fricking mothball?”
