Born with a thick head of hair and a “desire to inspire,” Oprah always understood the impact of Black hair.

Oprah Winfrey: Beyond a Wild Dream

Black hairs’ ability to shapeshift often mystifies others, but Issa Rae reveals its super power.

Issa Rae: Powerful Versatility

Freedom ain’t free — nor is maintaining our hair or humanity. Ayanna Pressley puts her ambition, betrayal, loss and beauty on the table. In this episode, we unpack how the hair salon is the Black women's country club and the politics of hair.

Ayanna Pressley: Embodied Liberation

When the others count us out, we show out. Being CHIKA is a revolutionary act. She cut trauma out of her hair, and stepped into herself as an artistic alchemist. We unpack the unregulated madness of perms, bra strap level goals and the art of Black hair.

CHIKA: Audacious Visibility

Our hair won't be watered down. Marsai Martin found out the hard way. Empowered by generations, she can let her Freedom Hair run wild into big boss possibilities. Unpacked here: the privilege of unprofessionalism, Barbie and Black imagery in media.

Marsai Martin: Freedom's Heir

Anchored in the love of her family, Chloe Bailey celebrates how being "loc'd" for life will never box her in; unpacking employment access, acceptability and how Black hair and girls are worthy of protection.
