My homie, Dad, was a big part of that.

And he said that the most important part was, like, seeing how people showed up and how happy they was whenever.

And I think for you, it's the same thing.

It's like, these are people embracing their natural selves around a whole multitude of other people who embrace the same thing.

And oftentimes, depending on what communities we grow up, we feel isolated in those efforts.

So you bringing all these people together, that's got to be a beautiful thing.

Yeah.

I would say, um,

If we just think about it, I think about a lot of things in the context of history.

That you are in the lineage of a Madam C.J.

Walker.

Building a legacy around hair, especially when black women is a big thing.

The history of black hair in this country and the way it's been treated.

Even in a place like Louisiana where it's mandated you cover your hair because of all of these different things.

And then when they started doing fancy things with the hair coverings.

That was a problem.

Yeah, that was a problem.

You know what I mean?

Yeah, never just be left alone and just like rock out.

But I think that that's a beautiful thing because there's a lot of historical context to being ashamed of our hair.
