Black Woman to Black Woman

“I love natural hair, but I know some of it does not work on TV because of experience. I’m not saying it’s ugly or too wild, in saying that as a reporter in the field, it will be affected by the humidity and then most of the time become wild and different than how it originally looked. This ND is a black female who worked as an anchor/producer, and then became a news director. Despite how she feels about natural hair, she says she never discriminates her hires because of it, she just lets them know her experiences and allow them to make their own choice. She says she also tells young journalist the same things. “You can wear your hair however you want, maybe you have the natural that won’t puff up in the humidity. Bottom line is, if you are good at your job, I will hire you. However, I will let you know if it’s becoming a little too much for your look, and most women take it constructively when it’s coming from black woman to black woman.”
