On this episode of Culture Rich Conversations from Juneau’s Black Awareness Association, host Christina Michelle concludes the mini-series “Getting to the roots: Our hair has a story” with an insightful discussion featuring experts on Black hair appropriation and America’s beauty standards. 

The conversation highlights the disheartening and ironic reality. While the Black community faces stringent rules regarding their natural textured hairstyles, those outside the community freely adopt hairstyles rooted in Black culture. Christina Michelle delves into these issues, shedding light on the lived experiences of Black individuals and discussing the work needed to address these challenges moving forward.
