Listen "Tangled in Expectations: The Politics of Black Hair "
Episode Synopsis
In this inaugural episode of Talkin’ All Proper, we dive into one of the most loaded topics of identity: Black women’s hair. From childhood to adulthood, society has imposed rigid standards and expectations on how Black women’s hair should look, often in ways that reflect deeply rooted racism and colorism. The hosts reflect on their personal journeys with hair — the styles, the struggles, and the moments of liberation — while unpacking how these experiences intersect with representation in media and Hollywood.They also explore the internalized racism that shapes how Black women see themselves and each other, and how to break free from the stereotypes that society has used to limit them. It’s a candid conversation about embracing authenticity, challenging societal norms, and celebrating the beauty of Black hair in all its forms. Tune in for a conversation that’s both vulnerable and empowering, reminding us all that true beauty begins when we reclaim our own narrative.Keep the conversation going and TAP in on Instagram @talkinallproper
