The shortest month of the year, dedicated to talking about the history of the most exploited demographic in our country.Since we tend to talk about Black history consistently on this podcast, we decided to switch it up and focus on Black love this month!Starting with, you guessed it, hair love. Hair has always been a source of pride, and also degradation for the Black community. As mixed race Black women, our hair journey has been a bit rough and confusing.
