Dr. Brenda Greene interviews Camille Yarbrough, a multi-talented veteran of theater, film, dance, and song. Greene and Yarbrough discuss the re-release of her classic book Cornrows (originally published in 1979). Yarbrough (respectfully known as Nana Camille) states that the book goes beyond being a display of Black hairstyles and superficial expressions and is a bridge toward learning about one’s history and ancestral glory.
