In this episode of "A Shot of Melanin," we dive deep into the intricate world of black hair, exploring the kinks, coils, and the journey towards embracing its natural beauty. Our special guest, Author Venesse Lewis, joins us to discuss her latest children's book, "Niya Hatten! Let’s get those coils crowned in Satin."
Venesse Lewis shares her insights into the importance of celebrating black hair and empowering the next generation to love and embrace their natural coils. We explore the challenges that many black women face in society, from societal beauty standards to discrimination in professional environments, and how these challenges shape perceptions of black hair. This episode also serves as a means to encourage non black listeners to educate themself on the different hair textures as well as learning the terms associated with black hair.
Through heartfelt anecdotes and empowering messages, Venesse Lewis inspires listeners to embrace their unique hair textures and reclaim their narrative. We delve into the cultural significance of black hair, its connection to identity and heritage, and the journey towards self-love and acceptance.
