What I liked

I liked how Ella showed that women of color from other cultural backgrounds go through the same transitions and experience the same thoughts and feelings when it comes to our hair. It was relatable and very well written.

What I didn't like

I enjoyed everything about the show. No improvements from me.

My overall impression

Love, Locs and Liberation was simply awesome. This one woman show brings to life the complexities that we as African American women go through starting from our young years and continuing through our adult years with our hair. She sheds light on the historical background of black women and their hair; and how we often times get caught up in what our hair looks like and if it’s not together, then we are not together. Which isn’t true; we are not defined by our hair, or by what others think we should do to our hair, we are defined by who we say we are.
