Episode 13: “The Dreaded Wig” My Boyfriend made me take it OFF”
Host: Lisa E
Guest: Terriana Dennis
EPISODE SUMMARY

This podcast is dedicated to celebrating the journey of black women to embrace their natural hair, with our host, Lisa. E, aka Natural Born Sistah, who inspires black women to groom and confidently flaunt their natural hair.

In this episode with Terriana Dennis, she talks about her experience with issues throughout her natural hair journey. The opportunity to stick it out with thoughts of flip flopping back and forth to relaxers, would be the final blow. She has talked about the support she receives from her boyfriend and an experience of her interaction with him by telling her to take off her wig as she walked through his door.

Terianna shares her experience growing up with relaxed hair starting from a very young age. She’s well aware of the reasons her Mother has relaxed her hair and understands. Knowing that her story is similar to other Sistahs, she is confident that this journey will allow her to continue to embrace her natural hair.
