Here's hoping she responds. That show can do wonders for the millions of 'hair ig'nant' folk.

Yeah, thats the other thing. As someone else mentioned, SHE would have to be educated first because she had made too many sterotypical references to black hair in the past, and if she doesnt know the truth she cant be expected or trusted to do the topic justice. I dont want to sound like the voice of doom, I'm just cautious in my optimism.

I was thinking about how she would bring up MTG, Egyss and MN. That might be funny but you do have to be cautious as to how they would portray us.

You know it has to be sensationalized. That's my only concern. Trying to encapsulate 3+ years of discussion about the psychology, sociology, proper care of multi-textured hair into a 4-5 minute segment. That's just misinformation and half-truths waiting to happen.


LOL This is too funny.

Very well written. Hope you get a response...I'll keep my fingers crossed.
