afros in the Garden… I was at Obama’s rally at VCU in Richmond, VA this past Saturday, and while I waiting in line with a friend, we started talking about afros. I personally don’t like how I would look in an afro or how my hair looks when it gets even a tiny bit long. She has a small afro, and as a person very conscious of the straight-hair bias we’re surrounded by, she was uncomfortable with this. I made it clear though that I have nothing against afros in general, just how they would look on me. I think she looks perfectly fine with an afro, just as the woman in this picture does. Actually, fine is an understatement. This woman’s fro is majestic. -- source link
