Traditionally, the salon business in the United States has been a segregated one. And while stylists at salons in the Black community performed braids, twists, weaves, relaxers, and silk presses on a daily basis, most white stylists had little or no knowledge of textured hair. In the past few years this has been changing, with more beauty schools providing and requiring texture education. Textured hair is increasingly visible in the media, more women are choosing natural styles, and more children are being born with mixed heritage. But our industry still has a long way to go. Want to learn about texture but don't know where to start? We've got you covered. Today's guest, Jamal Edmonds, is the owner and creative director of Lamaj in the City, located in Washington D.C. He's a stylist behind the chair and an educator for Mizani and Redken, specializing in textured hair. Jamal has been nominated for NAHA awards in 2018, 2021, and 2022. In this episode Jamal and host Blake Reed Evans talk about how to learn textured hair, and dig into understanding the trauma your client may have experienced around getting their hair styled. Also: doing textured hair on set, and competing in the North American Hair Association (NAHA) Awards.

Norm is joined in the second hour by Republican candidate for US Senator for Connecticut, Mr. Peter Lumaj. Mr. Lumaj has a fascinating story with respect to his family's arrival in the United States more than 30 years ago. Put simply, Mr. Lamaj and his brothers fleed the communist regime in Albania—a decision so serious that his father sacrificed his own life at the hands of the Albanian government to guard the knowledge of his sons' departure from the country in defiance of the laws of the regime. Mr. Lumaj is an attorney by trade and has thrown his hat into the ring to challenge the incumbent US Senator for Connectict, Richard Blumenthal. This, of course, is what Norm has advocated for generally when he's said that this election cycle should be centered on removing all incumbents. We must give tremendous credit to Mr. Lumaj for hanging in there and subjecting himself to a vintage Norm Pattis cross-examination on his platform and the tenets of his campaign. Norm presses Mr. Lumaj on all of the issues that are top of mind with American citizens these days: law and order, the second amendment, mental health, climate change, immigration, and crony capitalism. As prior guests have learned, when one steps to the Norm Pattis Show and Law and Legitimacy, one must necessarily step correct. We cannot help but to respect the fight and no-quit attitude Mr. Lumaj displays in withstanding the seemingly unrelenting barrage of questions from Norm. Perhaps that resilience is the type of character that has largely been lost in the American psyche. Leave it to a man who escaped the grips of communism to inject that back into our memory. Regardless of where you stand on the issues presented or Mr. Lumaj's platform as articulated, this is the very discourse and accountability that needs to find its way home in American politics.
