Raven-Symoné has long had a penchant for saying what’s on her mind – and while speaking on a recent podcast episode, she continued along said trajectory.
Sitting alongside her wife Miranda Maday, the media maven was quizzed on a myriad of topics at random – one of which was hair.
When the discussion was broached, Raven seized the moment to unpack her stance on a particular corner of hair talk: race.
Full story below…
Immediately launching into her perspective, the 38-year-old said:
“I think that no matter what color you are, you should be able to wear braids or whatever styles in anybody else’s hair. Just keeping it 100. I don’t think it’s fair that we are blocking people from choosing designs that they want on their hair.”
When quizzed about how the politics around hair is used to further racist ideology in the workplace, she aged and deemed that “unacceptable.”
Later, though, she stressed:
“I’m going to back and forth with you (on the overall topic) because Vikings, Chinese, Mongolian…they were doing cornrows. I agree with you, though, that companies should not prevent a certain hairstyle .”
Watch the clip, which also saw Miranda muse on the matter:
