Episode notes

Ok,hair me out! On this episode i'm joined by Ingrid Banks, an associate professor of Black studies at UC Santa Barbara, and the author of Hair Matters: Beauty, Power, and Black Women's Consciousness. We discuss how hair has historically been a signifier of both racial and gender identity, examining its implications for women, especially Black women, in sports and beyond.
