#94 – In My Thirties I Stopped Giving the Salon My Saturdays

This week, we're talking about Black hair and everything we went through to have it: the relaxer that burned and the beautician who said tell me when you feel it, the salon Saturdays that took the whole day, the big chop, sisterlocks, and the little boy who thinks moms are supposed to have hair. Also on the table: screenshot everything your boss tells you, the report nobody mentioned until it was due, the genie being a bad influence on Aladdin, and a photographer who says she loves our people but can't show you one of us. Whether you're still giving the salon your Saturdays, wondering if your loctician should have this much say, or just tired of explaining your hair to people who don't have to deal with it, this episode will feel like sitting with two friends who truly get it. New episodes every Wednesday. Follow the podcast everywhere you listen.
