With Chris Rock's' newest and most anticipated documentary on the black hair industry, set for release in October, the conversation about black women and their hair grows. From CNN, the world's most watch news broadcaste to the Tyra Banks show, a super model who contributes to the $9 billion Korean dominated industry, the conversation forces black families to reevaluate how we spend our American dollars, who's stores we spend our dollars in, and why we spend the time and money transforming our natural hair state in the first place.Meanwhile, China, Korea, and India continue to benefit, and collect their share of the dollars from an industry once dominated by black women.
Here's the question, when and how are Black Americans going to take back the Black Hair Care Industry, or is it simply too late? You can join me and the conversation @ BlogTalkRadio, on JBirdsWord, Saturday at 2P. To drop your word, simply dial, (347)857-4566.
