Discrimination Against Black Natural Hair
Systemic racism runs deep. Especially in corporate America where they can use something as simple as black hairstyles to discriminate against us.

I admit MJ used to be my favorite player and I owned just about every pair of Air Jordans that were created before 2003. But even I can admit that Lebron James is the GOAT. People credit Jordan the most for everything. But what did he accomplish before Pippen and Phil? How many championships did […]
