Tired of conforming to the industry’s definition of beauty, model and actress Yolanda Lee goes behind the camera to film a documentary about the social issues surrounding black women and their hair. At the risk of damaging her own career, she decides to cut off her trademark curly afro. What starts out as a documentary about black women’s hair becomes a more intimate portrait of one woman’s transformation and her struggle to redefine what we have been conditioned to call “beautiful.”
Discussion with Richard Lewis and Yolanda Lee
