I think I have failed to mention my love for all of these guest speakers! Not that I don’t love your lectures, but getting all of these different perspectives from outside sources really makes me feel like I am broadening my horizons.
I really found the speaker on Wednesday interesting. I really feel like I learned something from her. Who knew that a hair stylist could teach me so much in so little time? She brought up a good point that I had never thought about before. I am from Norman. I was born and raised in this beautiful town. From my experience and getting my hair done has always been quite pleasant. But your hair stylist brought up a good point about “black” hair stylists. She says that she is the only one in Norman. I know this isn’t a race class, but just thinking about this made me think about race and how it is portrayed in Norman. I couldn’t believe that there was not a black hair stylist in Norman before her. I mean what did people do before she came here? Just did it themselves? I like to think that Norman is a very diverse community, but hearing that it really made me re consider my view on our town.
Also, with thinking about hair really made me think of women and why they are so concerned with always looking good. Hair is just a dead thing that lies on your head. And most people will pay well over $100 to get that dead thing looking good. I feel as America is way too concerned with what they look like.
