Gabrielle Union, KeKe Palmer, Marsai Martin and Uzo Aduba spoke of their hair experiences in ‘I’ve Been Told’
Actresses like Gabrielle Union, Keke Palmer, Marsai Martin, and Uzo Aduba have all joined forces to create a very candid PSA about the blatant forms of bias and discrimination Black women experience when it comes to their natural hair.
In tandem with Glamour‘s September cover story, the slew of Black female celebs have released a new public service announcement entitled, “I’VE BEEN TOLD.”
The clip features anecdotes from six Black women who without flinching highlight all the painful stigmas they’ve faced related to their hair being vilified.
The video begins with each actor recalling some of the all too common microaggressions Black women face when it comes to their appearance, particularly when they dare to show up in their natural state.
“I’ve been told it’s too big,” shared Union.
“I’ve been asked, ‘Is it real?’” added Aduba.
“I’ve been told it blocks people’s view,” said Palmer.
