Les cheveux sont politiques sur bien des aspects. Dans un monde où la beauté des femmes blanches est encore définie comme la norme, les cheveux que l'on qualifie tour à tour de frisés, bouclés, crépus ou texturés peinent à trouver leur place dans l'espace public et dans un espace de pouvoir. Ils incarnent encore aujourd'hui l'histoire de la domination d'une population et de ses normes sur une autre. En France, il y aurait au moins 10 millions de personnes concernées par ce type de cheveux ! Pourtant, l'offre de coiffeur et de produit reste insuffisante, et les discriminations toujours bien présentes.Mes deux invitées Aude Livoreil-Djampou, créatrice des salons de coiffure Studio Ana'e, et Ghana Elin, créatrice des Ateliers crépus, œuvrent sur bien des aspects pour faire bouger les choses. Dans cet épisode, elles nous guident dans les complexités que renferment ce vaste sujet.

Et en plus, j'ai eu l'honneur d'y être invitée pour un épisode spécial autour du corps, j'espère que vous irez l'écouter !Avec Manon, on a parlé de corps bien sur, de stéréotypes associés aux cheveux lisses versus cheveux texturés qu'on cherche encore à dompter, et de la discrimination qui va avec. Mais aussi de souvenirs associés aux coiffures, d'appropriation culturelle, et de la libération que peut procurer le fait de se couper les cheveux très courts, comme Manon qui a sauté le pas pour la 4ème fois récemment.

Today I talked to Trisha R. Thomas about her new novel What Passes as Love (Lake Union Publishing, 2021). In 1850, at age six, Dahlia Holt is taken from the only home she knows and moved into the big house to serve her two older sisters. They share a father, who owns the house and its slaves. On her sixteenth birthday, Dahlia gets to dress up in one of the sister's discarded dresses for a trip to the city. There, she gets separated from her family, and meets a young Englishman who thinks she's white. She introduces herself as an orphan without a family. It starts out as a lark, but her adventures could destroy those she left behind. Especially after her father puts a high bounty on her head, because she is, after all, a runaway slave. TRISHA R. THOMAS won the Literary Lion Award from the King County Library Foundation. Her first book, Nappily Ever After, was a finalist for an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literature as well as being featured in O Magazine's Books That Make a Difference. Her work has been reviewed in the Washington Post, Publishers Weekly, Kirkus Reviews, Booklist, and the Seattle Post Intelligencer. Her debut novel is now adapted to a feature film on Netflix. She's had 11 novels published and continues to write from her home in California. When she's not writing, she's tending to her mini farm where she grows tomatoes, avocados, and lemons, all the perfect ingredients for guacamole and avocado toast. I interview authors of beautifully written literary fiction and mysteries, and try to focus on independently published novels, especially by women and others whose voices deserve more attention.

This week marks the first episode of four honoring Black love stories this Black History Month. I started with Nappily Ever After, a Netflix Original, because of the fact that it's both a romcom (kind of, listen to the episode to learn more) and chronicles a Black woman's hair journey, a journey so many Black women go through. It's unique to every Black woman, and this particular story is all about growth - literally and figuratively. Tune in every Wednesday for more romantic comedy talk from me!

Let's chat about hair! Whether you're at war or living Nappily Ever After (a great movie BTW) with your hair, know that we hold space for you. Hair is a place of contention for many BIPOC womxn, we're taught to be ashamed of our hair while we watch white womxn try to mimic it. We get teased, miss out on job opportunities, and feel forced to follow strict routines with our hair just to be "acceptable". Where are you in your hair journey? let us know if this conversation resonates with you.

I was cleaning out my zoom account and came accross this gem from a previous webinar I did in 2018 about happiness. A reflection if you will on the movie ‘Nappily Ever After’ on Nextflix’s. I read the book because, that’s just what I do lol. What I noticed from reading the book and watching the movie had me thinking a lot about what is actual happiness and the lies (LYES-active ingredient in relaxers) society teaches about what it actually is and how to get it. For suggested topics, email me at: hello@msguity.com linktr.ee/msguity

I talk about the fascination/obsession with black women's hair. It's not ok to touch it or ask the authenticity. Nappily Ever After is discussed as well as Chris Rock's Dicumentary Good Hair.

This month we’re reading the genre of Chick Lit Romance. Does it exist and if so, what should it be called?

What got broken?  This was a question I asked podcast guest, Chatela Monae, as we talked about why she is in the process of divorcing her husband.  What struck me was her determined intention to take care of herself during the process, first.  Something that many women don't do and as a result come out of their divorces bitter, fractured and afraid to trust a man again.  In this, the last in our Recovering From Divorce Series, Chatela tells us a story all too common. The story of rushing into marriage thinking that the same smarts you bring to books will translate to relationships.  That, because a man asks you to marry him, he recognizes your value and wants to marry you for all the right reasons.  The belief that if you pray long and hard that somehow God is going to fix what's broken and save your marriage. Despite Chatela's pending divorce, each day she chooses to take the path of wholeness.  In this episode, she shares how she is transitioning out of brokenness by: Recognizing that the big emptiness inside of her was there before she got married and was not her husband's doing Accepting that her beliefs about herself, love and men were shaped by people. Not by her. Finding her esteem on the other side of her head: on the other side of making straight A's Allowing her pain to come full circle Understanding that an emotional void cannot be filled by another person ...and much more Things that made us go hmmm From Chatela "What I've realized is having low self esteem is also not understanding your worth and your value." "You can't take a broken woman and a broken man and have this wholesome, fulfilling relationship.  It just doesn't work that way." "Who you decide to join your life with, they have the potential to bring you closer or further away from your life's purpose." "I never wanted a broken family. But I realized just because a family stays together doesn't mean it's not broken." "Ultimately, I can't be angry at anyone else for being them." "I think we genuinely do hear things from God, we just don't understand the context of what he's saying." "You are so infinitely special!" From Suzette "I don't believe submission means now I'm relegated to the deaf, dumb and blind section...that sounds a lot like slavery." "You were so enough that God, Your Higher Consciousness, the Universe, gave the ultimate sacrifice for you. Don't you think God would have concern about you being in something that is hurting you, harming you, causing you to question your value?" "It's a difference in being loved by your dad, as his daughter, and how your dad shows up as a husband.  Only my mom could be married to my dad.  Not me." "But I think the grace is that you have grace to be with that person."

Good Men Answered! Virtual Summit Website  www.goodmenanswered.com You Asked? Good Men Answered! Facebook Page www.facebook.com/goodmenanswered About Chatela Chatela was born and raised by her mother in the small town of Gainesville, GA.  Growing up, she took her education very seriously which led her to attend not only public but private and even boarding schools.  This was an area she always excelled in, so that giftedness along with her hard work afforded her the opportunity to attend the University of Georgia.  For two years, she was well on the route to medical school, conducting undergraduate research and even teaching science through a STEM program at a local elementary school.  However, after some soul searching, she felt this was not her true calling and switched to fashion merchandising.  Ultimately this change did not bring about the clarity she had hoped for and it has taken until recently to better understand what she's called to do in this life.  While she was on maternity leave, after obtaining her real estate license, she went to work for an investment real estate firm.  She started a YouTube channel for entrepreneurial mothers.  It was during this time that she became clear about her passion.  It was serving inspiration to other women so they can see the light within themselves. Just the same, she completely lost sight of the power within herself which led her on a very intentional spiritual journey.  She has made many ground breaking revelations. One of which to separate from her husband. Another, to become a holistic health coach.  Chatela takes it one day at a time.  She's finding a new normal, intentionally pushing beyond her comfort zones and continuing to cultivate the light within so she can help heal the world one person at a time. Enoughness Reminder Says Chatela, "It's just so important to get to a place where you just do the inner work.  And just realize you are enough.  I just want to scream it from the rooftops.  YOU ARE ENOUGH! And it doesn't take somebody else to validate you.  Or to give you that validation.  You have that within you.  You are infinitely special." What were your aha moments? We'd love to hear them!

What is the attraction to Natural Hair and our relationship to it? At the Glow Get It Festival we explored the Netflix Movie, Nappily Ever After, with Panelists Tonya Cross of Accented Glory and Shemikia Wallace of J'Vionnes Natural Hair. This episode was recorded with a live audience at NC Nonprofit, Real Glow Getters' Glow Get It Festival in Greensboro, NC.

Nappily Ever After was great as a book but missed the point as a movie. While it was not a total fail, it lacked the depth that the book had to offer.  If you have never read the book, this Netflix film was probably a two thumbs up for you, but once you know something you can unknow it and that is where my problem rests with this film. There were so many opportunities for this book to outline current events in a fun and cute way, but instead, it just became an instant "b movie" classic. You, know not all bad, but not all that good either. But don't take my word for it. Go check out the book and the movie and come to your own conclusion. Happy listening!
