Lauren Stockmon Brown (Host & Founder) talks with Amivi Sogbo, a sophomore from New York University. After Amivi decided to shave her head, she claimed that this experience was absolutely "freeing." However, as Lauren and Amivi learned throughout the interview, it was not only Amivi's decision to shave her hair that created this new feeling. It was also the choice that Amivi made to change the relationship she has to the way she thinks about her hair in regards to her gender, sexuality and race. This decision to "drastically" change hairstyles then encouraged Amivi to fully embrace her natural beauty.
