H&M is in the news again, this time for featuring a young black girl wearing a sweatshirt. No, her sweatshirt didn’t advertise that she was the “Coolest Monkey in the Jungle,” like an unfortunate incident the fast fashion brand apologized for in January of last year:
This time around, the internet has focused its outrage on a young girl sporting a benign looking floral printed sweatshirt. The issue? Her hairstyle–or lack thereof. Her crown appears to be unkempt, without even the courtesy of a brush smoothing out her kinky ponytail.
While many weighed in, hairstylist Vernon Francois, who coiffes the coils of A-listers like Lupita Nyong’o for red carpet events, had the most pronounced point of view that pretty much summed up everyone’s angst.
He wrote, “This beautiful young girl’s #kinky hair appears to have had very little to no attention yet all of her counterparts have clearly sat in front of someone who was more than capable of styling other hair textures. My heart breaks imagining yet another girl from my community sitting in front of a mirror being ignored by the team around her, left to her own devices because someone didn’t know how to handle her texture. It’s breathtaking to me that not one person looked at this shot and had the same reaction that the internet seems to be feeling since the campaign broke. THAT IS AN ISSUE. We must do better. Our girls, our young women deserve better. “
I can definitely see Vernon’s point of view and I do agree that one should be groomed when doing a photo shoot for a major fashion brand. But, it seems the shoot called for “Messy Hair” for all girls. Should the girl with kinky hair be exempt when it comes to the ‘unkempt’ look?
People of African descent in America frequently adhere to the ‘politics of respectability,‘ which is a term coined by Professor Evelyn Higginbotham which refers to minorities , “distanc[ing] [themselves] from the stereotypical and disrespected aspects of their communities and adhering to hegemonic standards of what it means to be respectable.” At a time when we were thought to be 3/5ths of a human, select members of our community (mainly upperclass) overcompensated in order to prove their full humanity. That meant always being pristinely put together–clothes always super clean, hair styled, and always wearing the best. A hair left in its natural state or out of place meant we were subhuman; so many made pains to reflect the exact opposite.
This behavior is still pronounced in our community. Even to this day, black women in particular know (and feel) that they have to be 10 times better than their fairer skinned counterparts in order to get ‘respect.’ Not only do they feel that way, but they also know their community will ridicule them if they are not ON POINT. I can’t even think of how many times Fashion Bomb Daily readers have looked at what, at the surface, seems like a fine photo, only to point out someone’s ashy ankle, or some other minute detail. We hold ourselves and everyone in our community to a sometimes ridiculously high standard.
In the case of this young girl, and in the context of the photo shoot: why can’t she be free to be who she is, even in her ‘imperfection’? What is so truly wrong if her hair is uncombed? They are all children, styled in similar ways. Are we going to continue to pass on this false narrative that one has to do and be ten times more ‘put together’ in order to be accepted and respected–and on an equal playing field with her peers?
What do you think?

It’s usually “Better in the Bahamas”, but the past two weeks for my country have been a nightmare; a nightmare we’ve all been desperately trying to wake up from. However, every time our eyes open, the reality hits us not only visually, but on an emotional level too grandiose to quantify. On September 1st, Hurricane Dorian made landfall on a group of major islands referred to as The Abacos. With sustained winds of 185 miles per hour, and the islands lying below sea level, storm surges quickly engulfed the islands in sea water, flooding homes, washing anchored yachts at the marinas ashore. Cars floating aimlessly about the streets, and worst of all, forceful winds not only destroying the roofs of people’s homes, but swiftly whisking away persons to their deaths who dared to brave the howling storm in an attempt to escape the rising water levels inside their houses. Some even drowned, with nowhere to escape. Courageous civilians in motorboats and those mounted on jet-skis rode around neighborhoods to help those trapped in the attics of their homes escape during the passage of Hurricane Dorian’s eye. From those who’ve lived through it, the stories seem endless and even more horrifying each time you hear a different one.
For those in Grand Bahama, the stories are much too similar, as the storm moved westward a day later and battered the island for 36 hours, still a category 5 hurricane. The stories are far too harrowing to detail. The images, news reports, and videos we’ve all seen can strongly attest to that. But with about 70,000 (out of a population of a little less than half a million) Bahamian residents displaced after losing everything, the country is in dire straights and in need of major assistance after an estimated $7 billion in damages and about 90% of both these islands left in utter ruins.
There has already been an overwhelming amount of love and support from major conglomerates a few of our islands have had deep relationships and business ties with for decades. Donations from Disney Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean Cruises, and Carnival Cruise Line have helped to evacuate, feed, and temporarily house thousands of displaced survivors. Our sister Caribbean countries have all pitched in to provide aide, support, and relief items to those in need. The US Coast Guard in conjunction with the British Royal Navy and our own Royal Armed Forces were pivotal in evacuating survivors and getting them to shelter after Dorian subsided. Even a few of our favorite celebs like Lenny Kravitz, Klay Thompson, Lil Duval (all three with deep Bahamian roots), Rihanna, Machel Montano, Michael Jordan, and Ludacris among many others have started relief efforts and foundations for a country that is forever grateful.
Global tennis phenom, Serena Williams was even snapped volunteering at a shelter in New Providence, where the majority of survivors fled to.
Though many of the companies and a few of the celebrities who have opened their hearts with an immeasurable amount of compassion have received a distasteful amount of negative criticism, when loved ones can describe to you what it means to have to literally run through blinding white mist and hissing winds to try to save not only their own lives, but the lives of their children and disabled or sickly parents, you come to understand that any little bit helps those with nothing left. You also come to understand what survivors of Hurricane Katrina in Louisiana and Hurricane Harvey in Texas had to endure. Whether it’s through donating goods, clothes or money; whether it’s through volunteering; whether it’s through visiting the other fourteen beautiful major islands that weren’t affected to continue to stimulate the economy, there are tons of ways you can help should your hearts move you to do so.
You can still swim with the pigs and enjoy the tranquil waters of the Exuma Cays.
You can still enjoy horseback rides, pineapple picking, and the pink sandy shores on the beaches surrounding Eleuthera.
You can still swim with the sharks or take some amazing underwater shots off the coasts of Bimini, go bonefishing with the boys of Bair’s Lodge in South Andros, and deep sea dive in Dean’s Blue Hole in Long Island.
You can still visit the Baha Mar resort in Nassau or the Atlantis on Paradise Island, as well as visit some historical monuments peppered throughout both islands. Take a foodie tour of Nassau and eat to your heart’s content. Mas with us every May for Bahamas Carnival and take in the ornate costumes, thunderous beating of goatskin drums, and flawless choreography every Boxing Day and New Year’s Day for Junkanoo.
Though we’ve been bruised and battered, though the ominous presence of a literal dark cloud still lingers over us long after it’s passed, contrary to popular belief, we’re still here, as resilient as we can be, #bahamasstrong, and still open for visitors.
If you’d like to help, but not sure where to start, find out if your local Bahamian embassy, high commission or consulate is participating in any relief efforts for survivors by clicking for a list of their locations around the world here.
You can also donate to reputable organizations like the Bahamas Red Cross, being one of many, or send relief supplies to survivors at shelters through Amazon, who has also been pivotal in getting much needed items to displaced survivors.
Despite the warnings and precautions taken, no one could’ve predicted the ongoing tragedy that would ensue, especially since nothing like this has ever happened to the Bahamas before. However, despite the many challenges, setbacks, and crises we’ve faced as a nation from this natural disaster, now, we can only learn from this ordeal and move Forward, Upward, Onward Together.
