Cocoa Butter & Hair Grease: A self love journey though hair and skin (available on Amazon & Donnaoriowo.com/shop) 3. Dissertation: Is it easier for her: Afro-Textured hair and its effects on Black female sexuality: a mixed methods approach (ask me in the comment) * * * * Hair is never just hair. Not in Black communities, where our very existence is political. In this episode of The Daily Donna, I reflect on Black women cutting their hair...and the reactions that tend to follow. We explore: The cultural weight of Black hair Biblical and Eurocentric beauty standards Internalized racism Colorism and desirability politics Hair and femininity Because when a Black woman cuts her hair, people react. And that reaction says a whole lot about cultural conditioning. Psst...This conversation connects deeply to the themes in my book Drink Water and Mind Your Business and my workbook Cocoa Butter & Hair Grease, where I explore identity, desirability, and healing self-esteem in Black women.
