Black history, black beauty, black woman. Interview is great, having their hair done shows the beauty of how black queen hairstyles comes about.
All strong and power

I love that you where are brave to start a conversation on this! I am mixed American. (Not typical looking mixed American). I still am sensitive to this types of conversations.

loved this interview because it was so striped back and informative, also had the best settings where theses kind of conversations and the norm. As a community, we are so proud of Emma Dabiri and her achievements. Cant wait to read her book. The only thing I would say is the there camera person may need some practising on focusing the camera well. I felt crossed eyed at times. lol but it's all love x

[RaeCorson]

We cannot wait to read this book. It has been long awaited!

1. Emma Dabiri is absolutely gorgeous! 2. What is the name of that song in the intro?

Perfect place for interview for this book 👍

A good argument for a 4 day week - 'work' a day less to take time for hair, fixing things, repairing clothes. Then you need less money for the things you are fixing. Instead of working to pay for things.

I'm trying to find a black-owned bookstore to buy her book from, if anyone has one please let me know!

[ciarraschlutow]

Y’all are moving too much and talking too comfortably. I know they are not braiding full strength!). Love the conversation & knowledge!)

Saw her on r.darcy earlier have to say I found the interview cringeworthy for godsake as a mixed race kid born in 1982 in Cork I never experienced that much racism it was only ever from other kids never adults, maybe emma just grew up in the wrong place compared to me😞top it off she's been in London last 20yrs and then to mention would u bring your kids back to Ireland to raise them now Christ sake the place ain't NAZI Germany or pre 90s S.Africa ffs 😲😲😢😢
