Good question! The moral isn’t about a different hairstyle. Her confidence faltered, and then to top it off, the rain ruined her braids. There’s such a connection, at least in the black community (possibly others but I’m speaking from my own experience) with hair and confidence. Not to mention the braids were installed by her mother as an act of love before she left for America. So she’s alone in a foreign country, losing confidence, with ruined hair. The lady in the salon giving her a new style was not only about re-instilling confidence, but also connecting her to a sense of home. Natural hairstyles are one of the few things that Black women from many different nationalities can relate to. We’re pretty much the only ones with that tight coily pattern en masse. Feeling more connected to her culture, she was able to draw on that to push through the audition. Hope that context is more helpful!

We can also teach our daughters that no matter what they choose (extensions, wigs, natural) it doesnt define who they are and their self worth. We need to teach our daughters to not rely so much on how others think they should present themselves.

@@oraclesofthemoirai4258 Everytime extension s are put in a child’s hair beyond aesthetics for cancer or burn victims what do you think your telling that child? Malcolm X said it better ….. who taught you to hate yourself”
