Another thing--did she seek out CurlyNikki's site and then submitted that interview? Like why did she want so desperately to be featured on a Black haircare site? There are plenty of hair forums for white women. It baffles me how white women feel as if they belong in everything Black women do. Her hair has never been a "struggle" for her. She never lost a job, a date, or was called "unclean" because of her hair. She simply changed her hairstyle. I'm convinced this is all about privilege and showing her hair as "Better." I'm side-eying both her and CurlyNikki for this foolishness.
Wooo, I was wondering when this story would find its way onto this forum, since it made the rounds of the various Black blogs already. In answer to your question, according to her Twitter feed, she applied to be featured on Curly Nikki, and apparently Nikki accepted, probably more for the click-bait, since that particular post has at least three times as many responses as her usual posts, and she probably got a decent uptick in traffic to her site, since I saw this on Clutch, The Root, and a few other blogs. Me personally, I wouldn't mind so much if the girl had type 4 hair (I have seen white people who had it, although it's RARE) that she had NO idea how to deal with, but since the girl had standard 3a-b ringlets, I really didn't appreciate her input, nor especially her self-centered Twitter response to the backlash she received once her feature was posted. She didn't even want to hear what the Black women were trying to explain to her about just what it means for
us to embrace our natural hair, she seemed pissed that we were trying to distract her from her brand-new engagement.
Damn shame.
