Our second installment of “The Root” is here. Trae invites us into her world to guide us through her story of exploration. At a young age, she yearned to experiment with her hair–she pushed boundaries and broke her peers' standards of beauty. Through watching pioneers on the big screen and television — such as Lynn Whitfield, Angela Bassett, the cast of Set It Off (Vivica A. Fox, Queen Latifah, Jada Pinkett Smith and Kimberly Elise) and more — Trae began to embrace her Blackness for all its beauty and glory.
Our hair journeys are all unique, but we all seem to find a common ground, and in the end, most of us come to the realization that getting to the root of the pain is the only way we prevail.
