  • Resumen

  • For as long as I can remember, I have had a really interesting relationship with my hair. Long weekend days spent getting my hair washed and pressed. Scalp greased. Ears burnt with the hot comb. My mom being thankful that I wasn't "tender headed". Me being upset that I was missing out on playing with my brothers & friends outside. My cousin cutting off a bunch of my hair and giving me a jheri curl during a family trip to Texas. My mom learning how to perm my hair as a result since there wasn't a black beauty salon in Idaho at the time. Being jealous of friends whose hair didn't "turn back" as quickly after working out when I had a relaxer. My edges thinning out after several years of wearing micro-braids. Ah, the ebbs and flows of my hair journey are monumental...not unlike other Black women.   And then, hearing India Irie's song "I Am Not My Hair" lyrics for the first time and feeling seen. Truly seen.   🎵🎵 It's time for us to redefine who we be You can shave it off like a South African beauty Or get in on lock like Bob Marley You can rock it straight like Oprah Winfrey If it's not what's on your head, it's what's underneath, and say 🎵🎵   Can we or can't we wear our natural hair? That topic comes up in conversation so often. Many of us felt like we didn't have a choice early on in our career. Corporate America just wouldn't accept us wearing our natural hair. We wouldn't fit in. Would we be considered as "worthy" of opportunities and promotions? The challenges are even more frustrating for those who don't live in communities with access to salons familiar with our hair texture and how to care for it.   In this episode, I have the pleasure of being in conversation with Cherie Gatson the Founder of HAPI Hair Studio in Eugene, Oregon. HAPI is an acronym for Hair Artists in Pursuit of Inclusion and their mission is making many of us very happy (and proud) to have beautiful black hair. Cherie talks about a traumatizing event that most likely served as the inspiration for the work she is doing to inspire, educate and empower her community.   I invite you to join our conversation as we discuss:   Wearing natural hairNatural hair care advocacyEmbracing curls in hair educationFeeling excluded due to raceKinky hair's negative associationHair care education in schoolsCan I touch your hair?Black hair education and advocacyHaircare accessibility in predominantly white marketsSwitching Careers and PrioritiesValidation in the Black communityHair porosity and moistureHair texture misconceptionsCreating a safe spaceCreating change in the communityBreaking barriers in educationPrioritizing self-careCompeting against ourselvesCelebrating Black Hair   Honorable Mention: HAPI Blog Hair Texture Charts University of Oregon Hair Project Dimensions of being a small business owner   Excited to hear more of what Cherie Gatson has to say?
