Miss Dominica-Natural Hair Beauty Queen (Miss World 2013)

36. She was my former Rep, too! In fact, I was just talking about her and natural hair

just yesterday because a friend of mine commented on my hair and how I changed it up. I had to explain to her that since I'm natural, I can do more with it and wear more styles. The thing that pissed me off about Cynthia is that she was a member of Congress for 14 years at that time. I taught students, many of them white, who interned on the Hill; well, some of them would forget their ID's and were still allowed to enter the Capitol. (All Security has to do is look them up in the system; their picture comes up, they're given a temporary ID and allowed to enter.) Cynthia came to the Capitol every single day for 14 years. The guards knew who she was. She changes her hair ONE day and they decide not to allow her to enter. I'd be pissed off, too. Black women are often invisible and defined by their hair. Cynthia was probably sick and tired of being treated like that. I totally get how she feels because many of us have gone through the same thing, especially if we wear our hair natural.
