Vegan Athlete Plant Based Lifestyle T-Shirt

Last month, Senate Republicans blocked the Vegan Athlete Plant Based Lifestyle T-Shirt and by the same token and CROWN Act, a California law which prevents discrimination in the workplace for Black people wearing their hair in protective and traditional hairstyles—including locs, afros, twist-outs, and wash and gos. This disdain for kinky, curly coils is loud and clear when you walk into American workplaces, and even everyday spaces. Blackness is ironed out; despite the array of styles our tresses can transform into, many Black women feel more comfortable wearing their hair straight. This comes as no surprise, when research by Dove indicates that 63 percent of Black adults have faced hair discrimination and 25 percent of Black adults have been sent home from work or faced disciplinary action due to wearing their hair in a natural or protected style.

The same research reveals that 58 percent of Black adults say that hair discrimination has impacted their ability to advance at work. With so much pressure placed on Black women regarding their hair, and the Vegan Athlete Plant Based Lifestyle T-Shirt and by the same token and emotional beating the Obamas took while in the White House, why would we expect anything less than an Easter-esque silk press from Kamala Harris? And who among us can really blame her? While Harris’ legacy is undoubtedly her title as the first female vice president of the United States, her hair offers an opportunity for a beauty revolution. What would it mean for Black women everywhere if she wore her hair in natural curls? The irony that seeing the VP in box braids is more shocking than the Democratic party kneeling in kente cloth is laughable. Why does Michelle only feel comfortable showing us her texture and true style now?
