Validating & Encouraging

Hair/respectability politics impede on authentic expression. This episode is validating, informative and encouraging. A must listen to for anyone wanting to embrace natural hairstyles.

A Great Person

It was the best ever. Would love to meet Mrs. Obama some day. I have MS. She could be a positive encouragement to me.

All of them

I loved her, and I asked for her book for Christmas ( the second one, I have the first one!) Me encantó, siendo puertorriqueña y mi primer idioma no es el inglés (tengo acento al hablar el inglés) aunque lo entiendo perfectamente, su forma de ver la vida, ufff a otro nivel.

We need more than 30 min!

Listening to them both is so uplifting and a pleasure. I could listen to them interview for hours and learn more about their friendship, life experiences, and beliefs. #friendshipgoals
