This is a fabulous short. Only those who can understand how hair has been a defining standard of beauty for and against little Black girls can appreciate this story. Black mothers have been known to fret when they aren't at home to do their daughter's hair. The mother has a serious health issue but is concerned and then relieved when she sees her daughter's hair style. After this she realizes the importance and also lack thereof of hair's role in defining beauty and exposes her bald head. For those who fail to see this story's significance, current federal laws don't protect natural styles in the work place or in school. Imagine being fired because one wears her hair in its natural state.
