Amatullah Saleem discusses her personal experiences with hair, childhood hair straightening treatments and racially defined notions of beauty, seeing African American dancers Katherine Dunham and Syvilla Fort as role models for embracing natural Black hair textures, and how embracing her natural hair has impacted her sense of self.
