The Refutation of “Good Hair” is a powerful new project by the brilliant Nakeya B. In this series, Nakeya has chosen to explore the literal meaning of the historically used phrase “good hair”. In her own words, “In each image a woman of color is seen poised upright while consuming a handful of hair. Accompanying the portraits are a selection still life arrangements placing hair and traditional African-American cuisine in the same setting. Doing such suggests “good hair” is nothing more than something to be consumed as if it were food”.

Yes.

“I think black people have to be in control of their own image because film is a powerful medium. We can’t just sit back and let other people define our existence.”

“If we became students of Malcolm X, we would not have young black men out there killing each other like they’re killing each other now. We’d not have the drugs we have now, or the alcoholism.”

“I ain’t Martin Luther King. I don’t need a dream. I have a plan.”

“Critics like to build you up, tear you down, and then, if you’re lucky, build you up again.”

“Our greatness, our talent has never been the question. It’s been a matter of grappling for control over what we do.”

“It is really important that young people find something that they want to do and pursue it with passion. I’m very passionate about filmmaking. It’s what I love to do.”

Happy 56th Birthday to film director, producer, writer & actor Shelton Jackson “Spike” Lee (b. March 20, 1957)
