Keke Palmer Gives History Lesson On Black Hair For Black History Month

Black History Month is almost over, and Keke Palmer is giving a new history lesson on black hair.

The 26-year-old Strahan, Sara and Keke co-host shared a segment on the morning show, educating people on the African American’s hair.

“I remember when I was a little girl in school and some of the kids would say ‘why is your hair so crunchy and hard’. I would come home crying to my momma and she would tell me that I had beautiful hair, yet people teased me so it was hard to believe,” Keke wrote on Instagram.

“Then later on I’d be on the sets where none of the hairdressers knew how to do my hair. I would either come with braids already done, or have to spend time in the room with the few minutes I had left to fix whatever they had done before going to film,” she continued. “As a little girl that was a source of anxiety for me “uh oh, the hair conversation” but as I got older the more I stopped letting others project their ignorance and confusion about my hair on to me. Just because someone else doesn’t understand it, doesn’t mean you have to own it. I am who I am and it just is what it is. 😍💕🙌🏾🙏🏾”
