There's a NEED for more ✨unlikable black female✨ characters

HI FRIENDS!! In today's video, I'll discuss how black women's portrayal in media has always fallen flat. Black female characters were often portrayed as stereotypes or side characters to guide the main character. Black women weren't allowed to be multidimensional characters who faced trials, who were flawed and despite their struggles, they still had happy endings. So let's talk about it! Previ...

    7:18 your point is the exact reason why I do not buy their products. I see this as an opportunity to change industries. Maybe something is happening with their industry behind-the-scenes that we do not know the details yet. I’m OK with people changing industries, that doesn’t bother me. However, I buy healthcare, haircare, and skincare products from people who have invested time and experience into the education and the application of the education connected to that industry. If you have been acting or in the music industry for 20 years, then I may, depending on the moral standing and the message, I may consume your content for 5 minutes or one hour or two hours and then you’re out of my life. Leave the chemicals to the chemist. Leave the details of the math and the science to the stem people not the artist.

It also has to do with what and who your surround yourself with. There are plenty of community spaces where natural Hair never went in and out of style because it was their life style.

    Rihanna is playing the heck out of black women that romanticize “exoticals” because Rihanna never shows her real hair and just so happen to show it when she’s selling a hair care line. Her hair was clearly recently big chopped because it was DAMAGED; which means her products don’t even work on her. She showed her hair for 2 mins and slapped a weave back on. At least Beyoncé has long hair. Bey could actually finesse and say her products work.
