Wow What Jack said was so powerful “don’t forget this feeling “ just wow! And his point about the plaster. I didn’t even notice in the show it was done to match a darker skin tone whereas plasters usually match a Caucasian skin tone. That’s so deep.

What I found amazing was seeing that even with the races flipped the same story would probably happen. Visually it’s stimulating. In place of conforming to straight hair natural hair is the beauty standard. I mean Meggie sporting the tight curly hair. Bravo! Oh and how professional is not solids but bright & patterns. Well done!
