unacceptable
One time my old job wrote me up because they said my hair looks like I just rolled out of bed and we are servicing doctors and lawyers (white ppl) and that’s unacceptable…

One time a black man told me I would be more “approachable” if I got a sew in….

One time a black woman in TJ Maxx randomly said “I would never wear my hair like that” *stank face*

One time my boss asked me to pull my hair up because it was offending her religious mother (Christian) .

Multiple times WHITE people ask me if I ever wash my hair

One time this white boy threw a pencil in my hair in class and I didn’t feel it and it was the joke of the whole class…

One time my cosmetology teacher continued to call me Ben Wallace in front of the class. (I laughed) (wasn’t funny)

Multiple times (last night) I cried  because I’m exhausted after a full day of fronting like I didn’t catch those little insults.

natural hair is hard af!
Not because of maintenance

Sometimes straight hair is survival
Sometimes I don’t leave the house because I don’t feel like being bothered.
Sometimes we just want to fucking LIVE 🙄
