Nothing like 100% natural beautiful black queen!!!!!!!!

💯 💯 💯 Chimamand Ngozi Adichie is speaking the truth that few have the courage to speak. Chimamand Ngozi Adichie is speaking from her authentic lens of being beautiful and being African, free from colonialism, whiteness or whitewashing! Powerful ❤

I love how white people seem to be shocked when they hear Black woman talked about their hair issues, when they are the ones who have made us believe our hair was nasty and ugly.

They critique our hair but then turn around and attempt to duplicate our hairstyle and act like they made it trendy.

We have beautiful hair and such creativity…

Being natural highlight our very beauty, our unique and distinct beauty.

Omg, I love that looped hairstyle. So elegant!

We are children of Mother Nature , and Mother Nature has blessed us with all the Beauty that could be had , their are hundreds if not thousands of cultures that have their own unique expression of Beauty , Africa is Beautiful , Black is Beautiful ................. smile

Adichie is SO beautiful, and her manner of speaking so elegant!

Unfortunately, we still have _Black men who don't think our hair is beautiful._ We are STILL being held up to 'European' standards of beauty. 4C hair is no more CHERISHED now then it was then, even in our own 'Hair Movements', we (Black Women) hold so-called GOOD HAIR up as a STANDARD!

Lui you are doing a great job, keep going

LuiSpot, this was a great video! Thank you for putting all of this footage together!

Chimamanda said it as it is in a polite way. In essence, individuals of African descent must liberate their minds from the ideals and standards of beauty imposed by historical legacies such as slavery, colonialism, and cultural domination.

Nature or God doesn't make mistake. Is not a mistake to be born black. Our hair is like the leaves of the trees and it capture the energy from the sun. That is why we are so so strong and naturally genius. We are everything. The Universe love us. Na self I hate putting man made chemicals in my hair. Whole shit!!! We are so beautiful in all shades to hide ourselves.

I love her. I love the hair black people are blessed with. I’ve always been envious of their innate beauty, and wished I could be like them. I’m blonde, blue-eyed, straight as straw hair. I have always wished for curl, for deeper color, red, brown, black, anything other than blonde. Thank you for saying we should love what we are blessed with!

She says: Its a political thing, Black women's hair is Political. And He says: Are you making a statement? Why would "Black woman's hair is political" be considered "making a statement" if Black women's hair wasn't political???

Say it Loud I'm Black and Proud.

Born Happy Nappy and Black Nothing wrong with Creativity

SHE'S TELLING THE TRUTH 😏😏😏😏🙏🏿

Ms. Adichie speaks nothing but the truth. Thanks for posting about her.

Whaouuuuuuuhhhh her hairdressing IS Amazing as a crown i love it whaouuuuuuuhhhh black woman appearance IS a gift because she can change whatever she likes 💖 abiously it is that ability which arrassing for those political fake rules conformity to white hair

Thank you for making this video. Sometimes I feel like we black women are alone in our struggles. So it's nice when a black man hears us and supports us. I think there has been an agenda for a longtime to make black women appear unattractive and inferior to other races of women. In accomplishing this, it breaks up black families, because the men are taught not to value their women and afrocentric features, and they will seek women outside of their race (as planned). Black men and women were strong together when Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, and the Black Panthers were around. But drugs pushed in our neighborhoods, unfair incarcerations, feminists movements, welfare policies, and the overall propagation of eurocentric beauty in tv shows, ads, billboards, movies, and commercials may have been tools to keep us apart. Despite what the world says, I'm glad many of us are recognizing the beauty of our features, the beauty of our hair. And I hope men of color who are influenced, will eventually deny the brainwashed eurocentric ideals and recognize the beauty in themselves and their women. Thank you host and thank you Adichie for spreading truths

"Is she making a statement? " No she is singing a lullaby! Geeeez!! On the other hand, I love the uncommonly apealing accents, beauty and humour contained within the conversation!

I'm old enough to have lived through the 70's and can say I truly miss those times as they were times when our women moved to look like us men and not some eurocentric false views of what beautiful is through the eyes of white folks. They looked like the stuff dreams are made of but sadly it didn't last as the push back from whites was simply too harsh as they found themselves unable to get jobs, being fired from jobs, and being mistreated even more by law enforcement and the judiciary system. Even now if our women choose to wear their hair as it grows out of their head they are subjected to being kicked out of school or college and passed up for promotions on the job or even fired without cause just for wearing their hair as it grows naturally. It saddens me to no end to see these self-hate views of beauty being pushed throughout Africa making it so if our women wear their hair as it grow out of their head is ugly and unprofessional and they add a whole lot more negative things just for the way we naturally look as a people. Those of us like Dr. Arikana Chihombori-Quao whom don't wear their natural hair do bother me in that I have three daughters and when they see her talking truth to power they notice they don't look like her. This is one the primary problems I have with her as she simply refuses to look like her own people. A lot of times I over look these things but like I said when our youth look upon her it makes them feel that there is something wrong with them as they don't look like her.

Nothing beats black hair! Period! You can bend it to look like any style. Its thick, curly, strong and healthy. The most beautiful hair of all! I have never liked straightening mt hair. In fact I hate it with passion and only did it to make my life easier and get opportunities. Thank God I was created with this hair. It is such a blessing, an honor to be graced with this huge, thick and curly hair. ❤❤❤

🤣 Michelle wears her martial hair. We've even seen her with 😊 braids before. Black Hair Magic Is undeniable. But it's also very diverse.

The black woman is the first human of this planet but the whole world lives by a European standard of beauty.

Thank you Chima for this great episode 🎉😊

Bigups to you,Chimamanda you are amazing and wonderful!!ONE LOVE!!

Before I go in depth, I just want to say, her eyes are everything

I'm so proud to be a black woman and my mother always tell me and my sister and cousin to love our black skin and our black hair I'm proud of me can't no one tell me nothing about black people I lv black peoples

I think our hair is simply beautiful!

And Oprah would never have a show if she sported an afro.

I think the interviewer just said Obama couldn’t be Jesus Christ because Jesus wasn’t black. Woe

So inspiring thanks

Very well made video. It was very intriguing. Very impressed

Ok what was her comment when the white women said that Jesus was not black.? I missed that point

WOW!! That 💁🏻‍♀️ @8:19 tried it!!!! How dare she? I can’t wait for the world to know the truth. I pray she sees the day her comment stands to be corrected.

FACTS.

This woman is beautiful. I can't imagine her thinking she's ugly. She would look good with any hairstyle!

We've always been free to wear our hair any way we wanted. Certain stages of human development we had more energy to devote to fussying, other stages (pregnancy we wore braids). Perms were fine as long as we didn't over do them, and those of us with healthy Black girl,proud Negro heritage did not over do the processing to the point we hurt ourselves. Bourgoise were able to afford hair dressers (which wasn't a guaranteed experience, because chemicals could take your hair out). We didn't grow up in allergic times--we were basically healthy, just couldn't abuse anything. Oh, and a number of relatives were barbers, hair dressers. And our home life involved us taking care of US, and our home life. The images with music were wholesome and uplifting--we loved our sisters--whether or not nobody did. Diana Ross, Mary Wells, Nancy Wilson, even Aretha with her feathers and weight fluctuating--were the cats meow. What you talking about willis?

I love ur hair so natural like mine and keeping it that way

Spot on!

People should be able to wear there hair how ever they want .

WHY⁉️⤵️ ⤵️ (SOME )👉🏼People *FEARED* the Naturally/Nationality of Black Women Hair 😳‼️👍‼️ Apparently, Black Hair is 👉🏼Powerful, Beautiful and Unique 👍✔️💜

She’s very smart

Absolutely...hair is one thing that slave owners denied black women. It was a political statement during slavery...and it is a political statement today. Sister, you are beautiful!

Remember this effects all black people not just black women

Naturally, like a healthy broccoli 🥦 or cauliflower; and nothing wrong with relaxing it when the mood takes you. Styles galore. Jealousy often looks like hate!

👍👍👍

Ok, I wanted to see her response to the lady saying that Jesus wasn't black, so how could obama expected to be him.

I wanted to hear what the beautiful Nigerian queen had to say to the White lady remarks about Jesus wasn't black! They cut that part off!

I can still remember when big bums were frowned unpon!😊

The Black Panther movements said it all. Also, Angela Davis. The Afro was the thing to identify your strong blackness. It was worn with pride and strength.

1:51 crazy I just was thinking this as a “black” male. My hair is course and curly and of course without a whole haircut and shape up and beard line up , to the professional world you look like a bum. Recently I have stopped cutting my hair like I use to , I have kept a manageable style that looks like your In between hair cuts. And just like she said , because it indented in , you feel a certain way when around others when our hair is not done.

Why?

Michelle mentioned it herself, and Chimamanda is correct. I pressed, and permed. I switched to locks, and have an afro now. The looks, and comments over my natural hair. If you have locks people automatically treat you like a criminal, and dirty person and it was weird.

Maybe it's yrie

Ok I got a question. What about celebrities like beyonce or whoever that wear these long blonde wigs? Does not seem natural to me.

Let’s not forget that a woman often sees a curse in their hair if it’s at one extreme or the other. “Good hair” in North America is what black woman often called hair that doesn’t need anything but cleanliness. I listen to this beautiful black woman from Africa and I think a black woman bald is still beautiful… I mean to add that no white woman wants thin poker straight hair either but something in between. This is why the pin curlers are used. In disco days it was fake Afro’s for white people. On and on with the whole mess of colour…It’s all connected to a feeling of superiority and inferiority one way or the other. It’s just that we’re so much in denial whether we’re white or black. There is no one “beautiful.”

8:18 as if yt don't know

Nzi sassekile

MLK would not have been accepted if he had straightened his hair!

And she is a great example of a strong black women with elegance and eloquence. Not the stereotypical caricature colorists love to portray.

So Mike Obama is a man but you worry about his her them hair???????

i have never seen a black woman! lots of chokolate colored yes. i my self is a pigskin colored scandinavian.

Chimamanda, Nné méchizié onu! Sépu onu n'ihé gbasara nwunyé onyé isi ndi oji uwa niné, ka ighara ikwu okwu n'aghara. Jiri nwaayo! Obughi ihé niné ka I ga etinyé onu, biko!
