The mom says that Autumn has never dyed her hair; the color of her braids best matches her natural color.

Naturally lighter hair while black: a fireable offense

    also natural hair is weirdly common with black professors ive had

    The three most legit genuine comrade professors I’ve ever known in college were all black and they all had natural hair (to be fair one had quite a receded hairline). One marched with MLK. One even rocked an Angela Davis style afro.

    I will never forget when I first learned about what the Protestant Work Ethic was and its ties to American Civic Religion and Calvinism for that matter. It took that long to teach me what I should had known in my teens.

      yeah I think natural hair (whether people like it or not) says a lot about you. it usually says your cool! so cool to meet the one who marched with mlk!! angela davis was my nickname in college for a bit, due to my large afro and you know being a communist lol.
