About this listen

Black hair is more than just hair—it’s history, identity, and resistance. In this episode of Rooted in Story, we’re diving into Twisted: The Tangled History of Black Hair Culture by Emma Dabiri. This book unpacks the complex social, political, and cultural forces that have shaped Black hair narratives for centuries.

From Eurocentric beauty standards to the power of natural hair movements, Twisted challenges us to rethink what we’ve been taught about Black hair and its significance. Let’s explore the deep-rooted history, personal connections, and ongoing fight for self-expression woven into every curl and coil.
