    Tracee and her work is beautiful! I truly feel blessed to be able to live in a time where black women are unapologetically accepting ourselves and embracing who we are, instead of waiting for other’s acknowledgement or acceptance👏🏽😘👍🏽

    I started my natural hair and I have a friend that worked in a salon . I went to visit with her. Her coworker said you need hair done. I was not embarrassed I shamed for her. We have that expectation of wearing wigs and weave. We forgot about our hair. I say be you. I have a mixed daughter I know . She made me want to know my real natural hair along with my son also mixed same husband. I have beautiful black dark curly hair. I love it natural. It is turning a little gray. But it is healthy mine and me. And it also reflects them.

    I definitely identify! ❤ I love my Naturale Hair especially now that I have-my Sisterlocks! I will never go back! We all have different textures and life experiences with our hair being and not being accepted. We have gone through Love, Pain, Joy and Neglect because of our life’s experiences. Our Hair is a Part of who we are (our individual confidence) whether we have it or not.

    The only thing that I hate about wearing afro textured hair is people treat me differently based on my hairstyle. When I wear braids, locs and twists people are mean, rude, impatient, unhelpful and agreessive towards me. If I wear my hair like Marcia Brady people treat me in the opposite manner.

    I am not my hair and my hair is not me. If I didn't have hair, I would still be.

    Being Mixed Race is a different lived experience though

      Can you explain how. Because mixed people are not monolithic and rather someone. Traci has black hair her mom and older sister has black natural hair.

      Mixed race black people are often the most palatable black people in as far as white people are concerned. They are perceived and received as more palatable. It is an experience that deserves representation but it shouldn’t be used to replace the experience of black that are not mixed with 50% Caucasian

      @@Mbuyiselo5 only some are palatable because many have grown up in white households and do not have relationships with their black family members and that culture and result in more white washed personalities. I’ve seen this from black people who are adopted by white and families. I on the other hand have never had a white person address me as anything other than black or know that one of my biological parents are white. Which I’m perfectly fine with. Maybe that is because I grew up in a black household and my older sister has a black mom and my dads current wife whom I have younger siblings by are black. This is not to diminish the experience of others, me and my sister have had this conversation and I get it more in the community and it has a lot to do with male attraction etc. I don’t want to go to deep into it, but maybe if I was more androgynous like a Mariah or Meghan Markle my experience would be different.

    Not a criticism, but her products don't work on my natural hair and it was expensive. Fortunately, I was able to gift it to another Black woman who had better results with the products. In any case, it's welcomed and important conversation.
