This whole trend is embarrassing. Why don't we as a people have more self respect and esteem.

De-centralize your self yo they say that shit to everyone

Im from Jamaica and when I was younger, I used to believe that if I were to go to America I needed to have basically any other hair type other than the 4c, 4b, 4a texture because I hadn't seen many black Americans in my childhood movies with my hair type (4c).

no its not..... that's a whole man trying to be a women then says she dont like black women

Yes can you talk about the costs? Some people are quoting me $4200 for an evaluation

Thank you so much for sharing your story.

When I went to Brazil and seen what natural hair really is I absolutely went natural ! Nothing more beautiful than 3C or 4C hair that’s to your butt it’s the most beautiful thing ever ❤❤❤ also the most versatile

People buy a million products with the hopes of changing their hair texture or achieve type 3 hair. I’ve seen it and it’s sad.

Welp it’s not like u can help if ur born in America now can you? ❤ No? That’s what I thought! Plus don’t tell them that they ain’t got no culture. This is America. Of course they have culture! ❤😊

Y r yall not talking about what happened on Kai’s live 😭❤❤

Thank you so much for this video. You are not alone, sis. ❤

I love my natural hair,perms tore my scalp up,I attend a salon ,and my stylist is great

When you are a black woman, you are not allowed to be complex or multi dimensional. You are only a colour, not a full human being. As a black person, I am always seen as walking caricature. Black people also despise quiet, introverted black people and see them as pathetic and weak or snobby yet those of other races are simply allowed to be human and free to be who they are without judgment.

I agreed until you mention homosexuality. It has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with brown skin. We are Born in our skin. We choose who we have sex with.

Why is everybody else’s natural hair acceptable and/or beautiful, but ours is not. I rebuke that woman that said I can’t wear my NATURAL hair to her event. I say goodbye to anybody who thinks my NATURAL hair isn’t professional or NORMAL. I have no f**k left for women the same skin tone as me or women whose MOTHERS have the same hair texture as mine and try to bring us down based solely on our hair!! Do you know how ridiculous you sound?! Stand down and grow up! Thank you for your video, very empowering and I felt a lot of what you said. In heart and experience. I hope for a better future for our children.

We are victims of the cause which is colonization

The comment that makes me laugh is when black women say "you have a nice head shape to wear your hair natural " Since when does head shape determine if you rock natural hair or fake hair 😂

A lot of this isn’t being an introvert. A lot of it is just narcissism.

Just wear your own hair, set a good example and think of all the money you’ll save. Also the men say they don’t like it. They want to be able to touch your head and hair. Especially during intimate moments. They don’t want a wig flying off in the middle of an encounter, that just kills the moment.

I can really relate to your story. Like, the "nobody to hold you accountable" point really spoke to me. When COVID hit, mess hit the fan. I broke down. That's when I should have left school. But I wanted to jug along and try. I got diagnosed with depression and was put on meds. And things get better...for a little. But eventually I left college, which left me so ashamed. I'm back in school now (2 years later) and when it comes to work, sometimes, I can't just do it. Imagine a "do school work" lever in the mind. That lever isn't pulled until the last minute. And it pisses me off. I'm trying to do things step at a time, but man that mess is hard. The amount of times I sat at my desk staring at my laptop and doing nothing is insane. Even getting ready to study exhausts me. Powering up my computer, getting my books, setting up my notes, etc just makes me mentally tired. Ughhhhhh. Stuff sucks. But I'm trying to see about psychiatrist. Because yah girl is at her breaking point.

Thank you so much for your video ! This really spoke to me, and I still struggle with my nose. I hate it and there are days when it's difficult to walk with my head held high.

Maybe if people stop listening to everybody about hair!!!! Focuse on what U like to do with your hair and not nobody else's. A then maybe we all be stress free about this subject. And move on with our beautiful hair no matter what race u are!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤ learn to except Gods love for you and then u can learn to love yourself and dont care what people say about u!!!!!!!!!❤😂❤😂😂❤❤❤❤😂😂😂❤❤😂😂😂

I dont care what people say!!! Iam going to wear my hair natural how God created it. Not all this extra stuff!!!!❤😂❤😂❤😂❤

Thank you so much for this information!Can you make a video expressing your medication experience?

I have a big nose and it's definitely eurocentric beauty standards I learned to not listen to black men cause they'll say shit about me having my dads face but idc cause when I do makeup or without it I look good period rhianna has a big nose I have a nose like yours I can still pull multiple races of men with my nose since I've glowed up

I got the "why you so quiet?" From black people most of life

In 48 hours I will be traveling internationally with my HARD Amazon wig! Wish me well ladies! One last attempt for a baby daddy before I go the donor route!

I feel seen ❤

I can soooo relate. I did the most ADHD thing ever: I forgot I was diagnosed. Seriously. Just like you, as soon as I got to college, everything fell apart. After pretty much flunking out of school, I was desperate and went to see a psychologist at my school’s disability office. The result? “Oh, you have ADHD and dyscalculia.” Well that was in 2011. I didn’t get diagnosed by my own doctor until 2022, ELEVEN YEARS later. I struggled all through my twenties because I genuinely forgot that I had ADHD. And yes, the hardest part that I come to grips with is always “why didn’t anyone else catch this sooner?!” Culturally, Black people (I can only speak from the Black American perspective) typically shun things that have to do with mental illness or disability. We either don’t address it or it’s “they’re a little slow” or “lazy” or whatever other negative connotation you want to use. I wish there was more understanding about ADHD and how it specifically affects Black women because there’s sooo much to unpack there.

"How has no one ever noticed?" ~ I heard this a few weeks ago. 💔😔

I play chess not checkers with people at my work place . I just naturally give the vibe that im chill & laid back & here to work but dont try me :) they all feel the vibes lol

"I was excited to be there, but they were not excited to have me" ~ the Story of my life in _certain_ spaces

😂

Thank you so much for sharing, it is so much appreciated, more thank you will ever know. Wishing you all the best on your journey 🙏

People have to realize that you need to be an already successful black woman with a hard wig in order to get a rich white man. They wear bad wigs because they are working in corporate. It’s really easy to get a rich man if you’re a rich woman.

We are tired of bullshit so we stick to ourselves

I keep it easy with washing every 4-5 days, using products with Silicones to detangle, and braiding or twisting my hair in 3 different (simple) styles. I could probably go longer for washing if I didn't work outside sweating so much.

i hated being introverted so bad i thought i had a genuine problem, it was never so easy for me to be completely outgoing even with my family and the comments that were made by them did not help at all, my wish to change just did the opposite and i couldn’t help it anymore so i just own it. Now i see they just project themselves on me and is just sad seeing grown ass adults talking abt a 10 years old as a selfish and ungrateful person, i can’t forgive them yet, so i’ll just continue being myself bc that’s enough torture for them .

I don't want to constantly be talking, constantly be twerking, constantly not be MYSELF! I want to sit back and observe and slowly come out my shell.... P.S. I am not compliant at all. Hahahah

The real question is: do you want physical pain by a ANIMAL or physical, mental physiological, emotional pain inflicted for a unlimited period of type with irreparable injuries to you soul all for the sadistic reasons of another human being

We need to take control of our representation and our narratives in media. It's the only way. People don't have black friends and it shows. They ONLY get their information from media. It's lazy and it sucks but we need more 4D representation of black people. It's now affecting our work lives and our earning potential. We can't be quiet or depressed or shy or scared or thinking or observing or actively listening or simply waiting for our turn to speak because we're black and we're SUPPOSED to be annoying. Introverted black people will get reprimanded for not being aggresive enough while getting penalized for being aggressive. It's the most exhausting things ever.

I love the dancing 😌

As a white girl who struggles with being judged for being introverted, I’m so frustrated to learn about how much harder black girls’ experience is. It already sucks even as a white person, this genuinely makes me so sad

Plus, when certain black & brown men are artistic, ( eitha play an instrument, do creative writing, or draw/ paint), but try excelling in those areas, to benefit our careers, certain folks tell us, like, "You should work more with people," or, "You need to get to know more people", or, "You are a pushover". Well, what if we need to be introverted, to go against thuggish, or somewhat dangerous, or gossipy/ toxic masculine stereotypes?

Simplify your routine. You dont have to spend an hour in the shower washing your hair. That is unsustainable.

I love your content! Great talking points and I believe you can do it! Friendship is for everyone! 🤎💛

I personally LOVE being alone in my 20s. It's such a great way to learn yourself and love yourself. Personal growth is best done alone, so you dont have distraction. I'm lucky enough to be a socialite. So lack of friendship hasnt been hard for me. But, advice for my intovert people. Speak up and speak out! You can even outright ask people what their interests are. EVERYONE has their community! But your community won't know you're missing if you don't put yourself on a milk carton, ya know? Don't be afraid. Friendship is like a closed door. It'll stay closed unless you grab the handle and open it! I believe in you all! And guess what, you have a friend right here, ME! ❤🩷🤎

Y’all lazy stop giving excuses
