<p>I&#8217;d bet that many of our Roommates have probably joined the natural hair movement. As scary as it was to do that big chop (unless you&#8217;re like me and skipped that part), it&#8217;s liberating to finally embrace your budding &#8216;fro! Now, this may sound like the beginning of a 2016 Soul Glo ad, but the fact is that the ideologies behind having a natural mane make the transition less enjoyable. Lemme explain&#8230;</p>
<p>Teenager Tayjha Deleveaux is a student at the CR Walker Senior High School in the Bahamas and one day in particular, her teacher just wasn&#8217;t feeling her hair. She began to call the teen&#8217;s hair &#8216;untidy&#8217;, &#8216;unruly&#8217; and &#8216;unkempt&#8217;. Tayjha&#8217;s mother, Turkessa, was so unimpressed by the school&#8217;s ridiculous antics. She wrote on her Facebook, &#8220;Never received a parent teacher conference until now and for her NATURAL BEAUTIFUL KINKY HAIR that God blessed her with! I will not be silenced!! Someone has to stand up and let these people know that this foolishness has to end.&#8221;</p>
<p>While this moment was certainly a bad call on the school&#8217;s part, some good was still done here. Shortly after *Black Twitter caught wind of the story, there&#8217;s been an outpouring of professionals such as doctors, lawyers and teachers who are rocking their naturals and embracing their blackness! Take a look at some of our favorite tweets!</p>
