Scenario

When mothers and daughters clash over respectability choices

My teenage daughter and I are having fights about her straightening her hair for school pictures and she says I don't understand because I work from home and don't have to deal with how people look at natural hair. She's not wrong but watching her do this is breaking my heart and we can't talk about it without fighting.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The generational wound of watching your child armor themselves against a world you hoped would be different by now.
