Join me at the Black Harvest Film Festival movie screening of “In Our Heads About Our Hair.” Stay for the conversation after the movie! Panel discussion features yours truly, Dr. William Yates, Lakeisha Gray Sewell and will be moderated by Britt Julious. Take a look at the video clip of this exciting and honest documentary.
Movie Desctiption: Black hair is a subject that comes with its own history, politics, practical issues, and loads of emotional baggage in director Angaza’s illuminating documentary, as testified to by the scores of women who model every conceivable coiffure as they offer insight into their complex relationship with their crowning glory. Going natural vs. conforming to mainstream standards of beauty and “good” hair vs. “bad” hair are only two of the questions debated by interviewees including historian Majora Carter, author Asha Bandele, and Farah Jasmine Griffin, the first black network TV news anchor.
