Blue Ivy Hair Controversy
Ok......
First let me say that Blue Ivy is a toddler and it is a shame that the media is attacking a CHILD for the actions of her parents. But, I will admit, in the pictures the media has released of little Blue Ivy, her hair does look rather disheveled. Most children do not walk around fly, fresh-to-death all the time. Especially, young toddlers less then 4 years old. Now, having said that, there really is no excuse for this little angel to look the way she does in this picture! (below)
Her parents are worth hundreds-of-millions of dollars! They can very easily pay someone to style and care for her on a regular, if not daily basis! I can't! I literally CAN NOT! Leave that child alone! A petition??? Really???
People can be very mean, and when the ball gets rolling most people jump on the bandwagon just to feel apart of a group. In reality those same people are in fact insecure about whatever is going on their lives so they attack someone else to take the heat off themselves.
SMH
All I have to say about this is that people need to GROW UP! Leave that baby alone!!!!

(It looks as if she just got her hair taken out of an old twist out or braid style, not like her hair is being neglected)

Naturalista ShoutOUT: Viola Davis
As we all know the fabulous Viola Davis has been making headlines around the world for showing her TWA recently at the Oscars and many other formal events where natural kinky hair was (as it seemed to me) frowned upon for its lack of European characteristics. (Side eye) But guess what? Did that stop Miss Davis, NO IT DID NOT!
She rocked her TWA and fro to all of the big shows hunty and paved the way for Naturalistas in the industry like Lupita (also an actress, also fabulous)!
Not to mention Miss Davis is a wonderful mother who encourages her little one, Genesis, to embrace her kinks and curls as well annnnnnnnd she started her legendary career on the Broadway stage! Right up my alley! She's won a Tony Award, numerous S.A.G. awards and a B.E.T. award for best actress in a motion picture and of course, was nominated for an Oscar for best actress for her role in "The Help".
You go HairMOM Viola!
