The video begins in the 1950s, where Alicia's character faces anger and disapproval from her community for dating someone that is of a different race. The video covers over 6 decades, to the present day, showing that not much has changed since that time.  This video really impressed me because I could feel a lot of the emotions from the scenes that reminded me of what I went through in my own life.

Being a part of a interracial relationship is no different then being in a relationship with someone of your own race. The only difference is that there are people in the world that choose to treat you with hate, because of ...

Name: Classcie   Q: What is your hair story?   What kind ofhair styles have you rocked, before embracing your natural hair? A: August of 2010 was the last time I relaxed my hair before I decided to gonatural. My best friend was natural and she always told me I didn't need arelaxed but it took awhile for me to actually research the idea.
