Naturally Fierce Feature: Treasure

  Hi. My name is Treasure Shields Redmond. I am from Meridian, Mississippi. Hmmm . . . my hair journey? Well, I am lucky in that my mom was a bit of a “race woman”, so she instilled in me early on that “good hair” was not to be tolerated; as well as calling people “black” as if it is a substitute word for ugly. However, I still fell prey to the curl in the eighties and then perms. It was around 1994 that I finally divested from relaxed hair. Sometime in the early 2000’s I experimented … [Read more...]
