Episode 1

Oprah Winfrey | Beyond A Wild Dream

Born with a thick head of hair and a “desire to inspire,” Oprah always understood the impact of Black hair. Modeling a life of purpose, she’s a North Star. We unpack the big business of hair, respectability politics and the vibe of a fresh press.

Episode 2

Issa Rae I Powerful Versatility

Black hairs’ ability to shapeshift often mystifies others, but Issa Rae reveals its super power. Her big chop uncovered that awkward is pretty awesome. We also unpack the miseducation of black hair terms from nappy to peasy and the rough road to “smooth.”

Episode 3

Ayanna Pressley | Embodied Liberation

A dynamic celebration of Black women's identity, beauty, culture, and humanity, uniquely expressed through the stories of their hair.

Episode 4

Chika | Audacious Visibility

When the others count us out, we show out. Being CHIKA is a revolutionary act. She cut trauma out of her hair, and stepped into herself as an artistic alchemist. We unpack the unregulated madness of perms, bra strap level goals and the art of Black hair.

Episode 5

Marsai Martin | Freedom's Heir

Our hair won’t be watered down. Marsai Martin found out the hard way. Empowered by generations, she can let her Freedom Hair run wild into big boss possibilities. Unpacked here: the privilege of unprofessionalism, Barbie and Black imagery in media.

Episode 6

Chloe Bailey | Deeply Rooted

When rooted in our truth, we can’t be shook. Anchored in the love of her family, Chloe Bailey celebrates how being loc’d for life will never box her in. We unpack employment access, acceptability and how Black hair and girls are worthy of protection.
