Hey family!

So this is currently in the news and has got my attention. Have you seen this picture? And what do you think? It describes the style as ‘twisted mini buns’ but millions of other black women including myself call it bantu knots?

Cultural appropriation? Another ‘innocent mistake’ by main stream whatever? Remember that time Kendal Jenner was given thumbs up for wearing cornrows? But Zendaya’s locs smelled like weed?

Give credit where credit is due! I don’t believe there is any excuse for ignorance these days. But hey maybe that’s just me! It looks like someone got the message, but still there is a long way to go

Let me know what you think
