"I have lived in Oakand since 1994. I am a fan of Ella B. Jenkins because I used to wear my hair in afro puffs and, to this day, it is one of my favorite hairstyles. Ella B. has the potential to bring natural hair pride to millions of Black little girls, who, on one hand have an unlimited number of hairstyles to explore because of the nature of our hair and, on the other hand, are made to feel our natural hair is inadequate because it is different from the hair of most people. Ella B. has the potential to serve as a powerful symbol of Black girl pride." |
