A young woman has stirred debate online after revealing that her employer refused to approve a promotional video she created, solely because she wore her natural hair.
Sharing the experience on X (formerly Twitter), the employee posted a message from her boss stating the video could not be used since she didn’t plait her hair. The implication was that her natural hairstyle was not suitable for professional content.
The situation quickly went viral, prompting widespread reactions and reigniting conversations around the discrimination Black women often face regarding their natural hair in corporate environments. Many social media users expressed outrage over the apparent hair bias, highlighting how society frequently pressures Black women to abandon their natural look in favor of wigs or straightened styles to fit in.
In disbelief, the lady wrote:
“This is insane to me, can’t create content for my work because it’s my natural hair. It doesn’t even look unkempt.”
