What's worse than heat damage? Hair discrimination

For Black women, hair is about so much more than beauty. It can
affect how they're treated and what opportunities are available to
them. It's tied to history, identity and politics. And though many
Black women and girls now embrace their natural curls, Black hair
is still a site of discrimination. In this episode, Brittany Luse
talks to two women fighting to change that: Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.),
who has been pushing for a federal law against race-based hair
discrimination, and Michaela Angela Davis, whose docuseries "The
Hair Tales" is meant to inspire Black women to celebrate their
crowning glories.
