Artist Kalandra Jones, 24, is one of the countless African Americans with stories chronicling discrimination and traumatic experiences associated with the texture and style of her hair.
“The place I worked previous to being hired on at a local business was predominantly Black and I was the only female. Everybody just kind of got along and we didn’t have conversations about hair other than to say, ‘Hey your hair is looking good today.’ It was just an accepted part of people and individuals.”
Jones left the old job while transitioning from a tiny Afro to “locking” her hair.
