Ever been too afraid to ask a question to your black friend because you feel like you may offend them? Well, this is the episode for you! I invited one of my good friends Sydney Kaufman (who just so happens to be white ;) ) to ask questions to me that she or others may have when it comes to the black hair experience! It's a pretty funny episode so tune in if you want a good laugh! :)

In this VERY special epsiode, I brought on poet, motivational speaker and published author Jeremy Michael Vasquez from the Bay Area (@jeremymichaelvasquez)!! We talk about poetry as a form of healing and resilience... and may have gone on a tangent about which character in 'Dear White People' we see ourselves as. I know this is a longer episode than normal but it's worth tuning in for because we both share very honest and personal poetry about our hair so y'all are in for a true gift! Enjoy!

For the first episode of the Curly Hair Diaries I invite my mom on the show to talk about how I used to deal with my hair as a kid as well as how I used to perceive the beauty of my hair. We discuss a lot of funny stories, some of which I did not even remember at all! So listen in for a fun episode! :)
