An ode to braids and its signification of black culture and sisterhood

This editorial is an ode to braids and its signification of black culture and sisterhood. Besides being a viable option for those lazy days where we don’t want to deal with our hair, braids have served as a method of self-expression and individuality for black girls. Through the pull and tug of each strand, black girls are reminded of their strength and resilience.
