Just the other day, I didn't feel like putting my hair up into any particular style so I made sure it was properly moisturized and in a stretched out fro and went out to conquer my day. An older guy would look to me and say, what's going on with your hair today?
I'm thinking to myself... why is that any of your business? but my parents brought me up right so I had to just smile and say "nothing, absolutely nothing, anything going on with yours?"
As much as the natural hair movement is making strides, there are still a lot of people who cannot escape from what they grew up internalising about their hair which is why I am so happy that Sesame Street has joined the natural hair bandwagon and is trying to let our kids know that their hair is perfect just the way it is.
Take a gander at this video:-

I hope that we encourage our kids to love their kink.
