Kenny Tris, Mini Girl, I just wanted to thank you for sharing this. Like as a black woman, as a hairstylist, a salon owner, a mother of a black boy, I've been one to change rules and break the rules because I was raised to be, to not be unkempt, to follow the beauty standards, to keep yourself looking appropriate, to present yourself to a job appropriately. And girl, I shaved this shit off and you know, have been every color underneath the sun. And I'm here to challenge what these rules are and and and who made them.
