00:00I received a call saying that my daughter needed to get her hair done and she wears
00:16her hair natural and I was kind of taken aback by it.
00:19People say they love my hair because it's so diverse and curly and Afro-centric.
00:24It's a dread-like hair and so that could be ambiguous and it could give you latitude
00:33to target a certain person or a certain group.
00:51To know that we were able to help our daughter and all the other daughters or boys out there,
00:57we feel pretty good about it.
