Moving Beyond '#BlackGirlMagic' Ft. Lindsey Day (founder of CRWN Magazine)
"Hair is politicized whether we want it to be or not” — Lindsey DayOn this episode, Lindsey, founder of CRWN magazine — a revolutionary print magazine focused on black women and natural hair, comes by to talk about why she started CRWN, her hair journey, and how her upbringing informed her approach to the content she creates today.
We get into discussion around the language that surrounds the natural hair community — the complicated grading system of 4A vs 4C, the cliche language that makes us cringe e.g. #BlackGirlMagic and even the term ‘natural’ itself.
