On today’s episode, I’m talking about hair. Our hair. Black women and the role that our hair often plays in our careers, whether we like it or not. As a woman who frequently changes her hairstyle and who has been natural for almost 3 years now I have had my share of uncomfortable comments about my hair throughout my career.
In light of recent New York legislation banning hair discrimination from New York employers, today I share some of the lessons I’ve learned on navigating these encounters in the most effective way.
