It LED TO THE HOUSE PASSING THE CROWN ACT. Prohibiting DISCRIMINATION BASED ON A PERSON'S HAIR, TEXTURE OR STYLE FOR THE WORLD OVERALL IS BECOMING MORE UPSET.. Sept ING OF US WOULD EVER SAYS FEELS LIKE A HUGE ACCEPTANCE. Is THE CONFIRMATION OF JUDGE, KETANJI BROWN JACKSON TO THE U.S. SUPREME COURT., THE JUDGE WHERE SISTER LOCKS IN EVERETT SAYS IT'S BEEN THE TALK OF THE SYSTEM LOT COMMUNITY FOR WEEKS.?

MARILYN, PARKER CHANNEL 4, THE LOCAL STATION. > >. Well MARYLAND. You CHOSE TO CHANGE YOUR HAIRSTYLE RECENTLY TO FOLLOW LOCKS, WHICH IS IN THE DREADLOCKS FAMILY.. Why DID YOU DECIDE TO START WEARING THE STYLE? > >? Well, YOU KNOW BLACK WOMEN ALWAYS CHANGE. Their HAIR IS SOMETHING THAT I'VE ALWAYS DONE IN REGARDLESS OF ME WEARING MY FULL LOCKS, MY BRAIDS OVER MY CURLY HAIR. The QUALITY OF MY CONTENT HAS NEVER CHANGED FOR WHAT I PRODUCE ON TV AND WHAT I PUT OUT INTO THE WORLD.. So I THINK IT'S AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT, REGARDLESS OF YOUR HAIR, SOLEMN, REGARDLESS WHAT YOU USED TO JUST BECAUSE YOU MAY NOT BE USED TO IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT IT'S NOT PROFESSIONAL OR IS N'T ACCEPTABLE. AND I THINK JUDGE JACKSON IS REALLY Traibays TRAILBLAZING AND SETTING AN EXAMPLE FOR YOUNG GIRLS LIKE MYSELF AND FOR THE YOUNG WOMAN WHO REACH OUT TO ME, SAYING THAT THEY APPRECIATE ME WEARING MY HAIR IN DIFFERENT STYLES.. That REPRESENTATION REALLY DOES MATTER TO REALLY A FULL CIRCLE MOMENT.
