SCROLL DOWN FOR PICS If you have never seen "A Different World", you wouldn’t know why there was a mutual disappointment in the realization that you could not apply to the HBCU "Hillman" because along with "The Pit", it did not exist. This show followed Denise Huxtible from the Brooklyn based sitcom "the Cosby Show" down to the family Alma mater Hillman located in Virginia. Fun fact, the show was taped in the ATL on Spelman's campus, an actual HBCU. Although this show was a spin off it became a whole other entity within itself. It told a whole new...

SCROLL DOWN FOR PICS I know for a fact that I am not the only one who blasted Solange's, "A Seat at the Table", while simultaneously belting out lyrics that nourished my soul and made me nod my head. It may sound dramatic but in a moment where we are constantly being bombarded with reminders that not only our beauty but at times our literal lives are viewed less than valuable by a good chunk of this country, Solange really did make a difference.

So I have a friend that refuses to refer to her hair as being “nappy”. Even if her curls are dried out she will refer to them as a dried out curl, but never “nappy”. She hates that word.

I have overheard mothers refer to their biracial daughters hair as “nappy” and cringed.
