A conversation that was being had a little bit last year was about how during...

The country's Great Depression, the Harlem Renaissance, was happening simultaneously.

And the importance of Black art, Black voices, Black media, and Black movements that can be had in the midst of seemingly like nationwide despair, right?

We still are always going to find a way to celebrate ourselves and to shine even through some of the darkest of times.

Mm-hmm.

And I think what you're doing is kind of parallel.

I think it's important that it's happening now because there's a conversation being had on TikTok specifically around natural hair and, you know, women...

complaining about it's too hard to maintain or you know it just takes so much time and effort and the opposite end of that is women who advocate for wig wearing and things like that but will will show a lot of like care and maintenance to their wigs but not to maintain their natural hair what was your standpoint beyond on that where this is something you truly advocate for

Yeah, okay.

That was... My take on it is that I'm not, like, opposed to it.

I'm just opposed to it being, like, on the opposite end of the talking point.

Like, my hair is too much.

You know what I mean?

And it's like, well, there's, like... There's time in between installs.

So what do we do?

Do we hide away?

Do we not go to work?

It's like... Or do we just constantly, like, rigorously stay on this maintenance routine...

that doesn't involve like an expression of self to me.

That's my opinion, but that's women's business too.
