Podcast Overview

Black folks have an intimate yet complicated relationship with our hair. From relaxer burns trying to get bone straight hair, to learning to rock a TWA because you just couldn’t wait any longer to go natural, to slathering on castor oil and praying your hair edges come back. We have endless experiences with our hair -- some empowering, others painful. But through it all, we find ways to try to love our hair and pass along the hair and life lessons we’ve learned along the way. Textured Tales is a podcast about Black hair and our relationship to it. Creator + Host: Randi Williams
