One of the most important details of my event was the impact of society and representation. Like said before, I got criticized for my hair for being natural, I was mindful of this on my journey, because of what I had seen and heard from the media and society. The media's depiction of black women is of false representation and my goal was to show my bravery and confidence, as well as healthy hair. Nothing is wrong or ugly about natural kinky hair, people think this way because of the television, magazines, and advertisements promoting products depicting black women with silky, straight hair. Hair is not healthy when it is straightened or relaxed, it is more like making it stressed instead of relaxed.
