On this week's Another View: It's a phenomenon uniquely experienced by many African American women- Hair Anxiety. It stems from societal pressures, discrimination, and personal insecurities about their natural hair and can result in lifestyle changes like limiting exercise, yielding to pressure in the workplace to have straight hair, and spending lots of time and money on styling and haircare products. So, what are ways that Black Women can come to terms with their hair and be at peace with its natural beauty? Michelle Williams, CEO of Versus Salon and Ashley Tru Ward, actress, musician and spokesperson discuss hair anxiety. Also, Oscar nominated actor Djimon Hounsou talks about an upcoming event he will be at to commemorate the landing of the first African Americans at Fort Comfort (now known as Fort Monroe) in 1619. This, and all Another View programs can be heard on-demand on the show's page.
