    Bad Hair: Comedic Horror Film Explores the Killer Beauty Standards Black Women Face

    Let me start by prefacing I am in no way a horror movie fanatic. I have seen a minimal amount of scary movies, and even those have only been in the presence of others in order to curb squeamish feelings that perhaps a pagan demon has taken over my body or my friend is actually a serial killer. On the other hand, I am a sucker for black comedy and spoof movies. So despite the horror aspect of the film, I had to check out Hulu’s “Bad Hair.”

  • Your Side Profile is Fine

    Scrolling through Tik Tok, I came across a “Side Profile Challenge” in which users would use a filter to determine whether or not they had a “perfect” side profile which includes: a eurocentric straight nose, pouty lips, and a razor sharp jawline. I don’t think you need to have a perfect side profile to be beautiful, and I’m here to convince you why I’m right.
