It's Just Hair
Krystal is joined by guest host Brennan and we chat all about being a black woman and the never ending journey of learning to embrace our hair throughout the many phases of womanhood, work and life in general.
We also chat about how men should never cut their beards and how the cast of Family Matters provides the visual of “old” people of the 90’s.
We share stories about our hair woes and WINS and discuss ways we’re changing the narrative about “black hair”.
