I really appreciate that after George Floyd’s murder that the New Yorker truly committed adding beautifully filmed, interesting, multi-culturally rich, and deep thinking pieces on African-Americans. I’ve always loved these short documentaries and films but it is so wonderful to see the less witnessed and positive aspects of diverse culture. Thank you so much.
you should move to a more diverse and vibrant neighbourhood, you will love it!
Just off the top of my head there are about twelve distinct cultures on my block. And you?
@@Brainhoneywalker
yeah, three of them being
gentrification- culture
karen-culture and
bigotry-of-low-expectation-culture
seriouslx, "deep thinking piece"... under a clip about hairdos 😂
@@FixedFace May you be healthy, happy, safe, and have all you need! Don’t be afraid to move. It was an incredible piece.

these culty non messages are well entertaining 😀
anyway, good luck with your 12-culture-neighborhood as soon as the shxt starts to hit the fan.
I wish I would of had these women in my life growing up. I’m a 54 year old black woman who was adopted at birth by a white family in Alaska. Needless to say, I was never taught how to style or take care of my hair. I don’t know the right words or possess the vocabulary to even explain what I want when I go to the salon. My hair is very resistant to relaxing and has at least two different textures. It’s definitely not “good hair”. My white family thought it was “interesting” when I had cornrows and braids one time & certainly wouldn’t appreciate it if I showed up for a family portrait wearing an Afro or braids. It’s awkward and confusing to be denied of my own ethnicity when I’m literally the black sheep of the family.
~it sounds awkward and confusing-and i hope that you wear it ANY way that’s beautiful and really, they’ll get over it, they really will. after all, they adopted *you* not merely for the child they could have, but the adult that they’re fortunate to have in their lives today. the only thing that i can add is that *most of us* probably wish that we had had those women in our lives while we were growing up.❤️

Amazing wonderful I'm so happy to see this video.
Siuch a beautiful Afro-feminine space for connecting and healing. Our hair is a conduit for communal connections 💕💕💕💕
Yes!!! I agree
Living Art. Thank you 🙏
I want to read the books on her list!😊
great story, what camera was this shot on?
love the look of it.
This was an Amazing production and I'm so happy it was suggested to me, even more; I took the time to watch it. Well Done Sister ✨
Excellent!!
Love, love, love this! For someone who's struggled with that sense of community, this really helps me feel "safe" in my black skin, in my 4C hair, in all of me.
This was beautiful and inspiring
stunning! As a mixed race (hate those words) child with textured hair I was always at a crossroad with my hair. I have embraced my hair and was able to embrace me, love me. We are looking at Royalty when a woman like Anastasia Ebel helps women regain and develop themselves. its not just about hair. Much Love.
Loved this 🥹
Wow, hair for us white folks is a pretty boring thing yet I still recall all the Jewish gals in my dorm, over 50 years ago, ironing their hair to make it just as boring as the style dictated. But *this* my gawd! Such as range from the intimate to the majestic. Gorgeous and *definately* *_anything but boring_* 😂 It's more than hair, it's art. Great doc!
Thank you
Her bleached platinum blonde hair is everything 👏
😍so much ❤️ LOVE
This lady is fantastic. It's a problem in Oak Ridge, TN, yes they have beautician in Knoxvlle, but it's 22 miles away. I like my hair done every 5 days so I want it to always look good. I can't do the drive. I lived in DC, those beauticians are bad make you look good. I'm all Grey, no perm, I want it twisted and no chemical, close the perm people down, and go natural. I love the twist, you can dress up or down. A beautiful gown or pair of blue jeans, feel me.
I’ve been trying to find someone near DC.
Beautiful 😍
Wow, this was really nicely made!

Great Documentary! The education our people really need is to know that we are the descendants of 12 lost tribes of Israel, and the book they really need to know about black history is the bible because the bible is our black history. It's the history of our true culture, true traditions, and history of our true descendants.
Give me a break
Hair is just hair. We shouldn't bring race into it.
Totally missing the point, Toby.
That's really what you got out of this video?
It's more than hair when you have to defend it and when it's used to demean you! Love my tight curls and kinks!!
It was just hair on people’s head, until you you barbaric race decided otherwise
@@LMae-rj9qiThe person knows that it is more than just hair hence the comment. But we will not stay quiet. We will speak the truth.
Thanks so much maskoffweb for the awesome amount
