“Beware: ignorance protects itself. Ignorance promotes suspicion. Suspicion engenders fear. Fear quails, irrational and blind, or fear looms, defiant and closed. Blind, closed, suspicious, afraid, ignorance protects itself, and protected, ignorance grows.” ― Octavia E. Butler

The truth is, hair identity animates our world as Black women, and we need more dialogue about how hair is marked as a racial identifier for us and shapes how we are seen, treated, and employed.
