Lauren Stockmon Brown (Host & Founder) and Ale Gonzalez (Junior from NYU) studying History & Politics will explore the complexities of oppression on black hair. Ale calls himself "racially ambiguous" to the eye, though people often associate his physical attributes with black features. So, when Ale was little, he would get made fun of and picked on for being who he naturally is. This conversation on black hair expands to all oppressed people in complicated ways-- Why are we encouraged to look a way that we don't naturally?
