I AM NOT MY HAIR from Vintage Innovation on Vimeo.
For a job interview, a friend of mine decided to cut off his dreads he had been growing for 4 LONG years. A job interview with ZERO guarantee that he would be hired. Yet, he still found a way to convince himself to go through with it. I tell ya.. It takes a certain level of faith to make a personal sacrifice just for the opportunity to compete on a even playing field in today's workforce.
With one less burden to bare...he continued on knowing there was a strong possibility that the color of his skin may put him at a slight disadvantage in the hiring process.
You don't take that sort of risk if you're unsure of yourself. Needless to say, he got the job!!!
Watch as Vintage Innovation documents this painful process in a segment we like to call "i am NOT my hair!!!"
