Mouthful and DeVon Baker sit down to discuss Generational Curses within black families. Isis Brantley shares her historic hair stories and black advocacy.

This week on In Black America, producer and host John L. Hanson, Jr. speaks with Isis Brantley, a Dallas-based African hair braiding expert and entrepreneur who successfully fought the State of Texas’s bureaucratic restrictions on natural hair braiding, making hair braiding services and instruction available to thousands of African American women in Texas.

Isis Brantley is a rebel with a cause. She has been arrested twice, taken to court and found guilty of her crimes against the state. She has stood before the highest court in Texas as a defendant and two years later, found herself before the federal courts as a plaintiff. She is considered a Civil Rights icon and a fierce supporter of bootstrapping young women out of poverty through entrepreneurial means. What Miss Isis is not is a violent criminal. She is not a drug lord - she is actually a vegan- and she is not a terrorist, a spy, or hacker. So in 1997, when seven Dallas officers kicked in her salon door, handcuffed her in front of her clients, and threw her in jail, she initially thought it was a joke. Her crime? Braiding hair without a cosmetology license.Links: blackinthedaypodcast.comnaturallyisis.comInstagram: @blackinthedaypod@naturallyisisemail: blackinthedaypod@gmail.comMusic: Blue Dot Sessions - The ZeppelinBlue Dot Sessions - HeliotropeLife as We Make It by Olive MusiqueSource: http://www.naturallyisis.com/index.html https://www.huffpost.com/entry/hairbraiding-license_b_4086368 http://braidingfreedom.com/braiding-initiative/supporters/isis-brantley/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/instituteforjustice/2015/01/29/hair-braiding-and-occupational-licensing/#4a606b185dbd http://www.scribd.com/doc/172538713/Brantley-v-Kuntz-File-Stamped-Full-Complaint-pdf
