When you've spent much of your life with chemically straightened hair, the process of getting re-introduced to your natural hair texture has its ups and downs.
Though you'll love your hair, you might miss, for fleeting moments, the ease of managing your 'do post-relaxer. This latest Buzzfeed video featuring Quinta Brunson perfectly captures that moment in a new video.
In it, she's contemplating what to do with her hair once she takes her braids out. (Sound familiar?) As she's wandering through a beauty supply store, a box of perm named Shanice calls out to her. The exchange is hilarious.
TaKiyah Wallace founded Brown Girls Do Ballet in 2012 to offer support and resources to young Ballerinas of color. When she discovered the glaring whiteness of ballet, her work began with a photo project to highlight the existence of diverse dancers. Soon after, she partnered with co-founder Brittani Marie to expand the scope of organization. Now Brown Girls Do Ballet is a safe space for girls who don't often see themselves in their art.
Caprina Harris's granddaughter perfectly captured how we're feeling in the months leading up to President Obama's final moments in office.

Ghansah has gained a following because of her brilliant essays on Black life and Black art. In 2014, she was nominated for a National Magazine Award for her profile of Dave Chappelle. She offers a perspective that refuses to flatten her subjects.

Ghansah says Toni Morrison Beloved changed everyone's lives. "For me Toni Morrison doesn't exist on this plane," she says. "She almost exists on this odd, spiritual other world in terms of her work." In 2015, Ghansah wrote this spectacular piece on Toni Morrison for the New York Times magazine to celebrate her.
