THE GENDERLESS BAGS WE ALL CAN WEAR NOW

Students’ Corner: Bonnets and Durags TEENS DISCUSS THE CONTROVERSY OF WEARING BONNET AND DURAG IN PUBLIC

Kimberly Goldson: Did you guys see the video that Monique, the comedian, posted on Instagram? Monique was talking about how she was so disheartened because she was going through the airport and saw all of these young girls in bonnets, slippers, pajamas, and big blankets wrapped around them. She was like, “Why is this your normal? Why don’t you want to present yourself in a way that displays who you truly are, the princesses and the queens that we are?” I’ve been saying this too. Maybe I’m an auntie, I know that. We come from a generation where you don’t go outside in clothes that literally look like you just rolled out of bed. It started before the pandemic, so we can’t use that excuse. I know we got more comfortable during the pandemic, so talk to me about this trend of the bonnet in public. Do you all subscribe to the bonnet, slipper and pajama culture? Or do you put yourself together? Talk to me. Student 1: My opinion on the situation is that everybody has their own thing and they’re their own person. I just feel like this generation needs to have some type of class when it comes to representing themselves. I’m not trying to tell anybody what to do, or what to wear, but just to have some type of class. For me, if my hair is not done or it’s messed up and I’m going to go outside and do stuff, I’ll just push my hair back, put on a hat, go outside and come right back. But a bonnet, I feel like it’s just for when you sleep. Basically, a bonnet is nothing but a “shower cap”to protect your hair.

Kimberly Goldson: Yeah. I agree. For me, for example, my hair is not done today, but I just threw on this turban scarf. I still have my braids in because I still want to protect my style. I didn’t want to take my braids out because I need my waves for tomorrow. So I kept my braids in. I put the scarf on. I didn’t do any lashes or anything. I put my frames on. My point is that there’s a way that you don’t have to

get fully dressed up to just run to the store, but you also don’t have to look like you’ve literally just rolled out of the bed. So that’s the thing that Monique was saying. Back in the day, people used to get dressed up to go to the airport because that was the way that you could possibly get seat upgrades. They would move you to first class if you dressed appropriately so that people would see you when they walked through the airplane. So you always got dressed up. Now this idea that we’re going to the airport in bonnets and slippers... You went somewhere, you traveled somewhere. It’s not just around the corner to the store, so I wanted to get your perspective. Anybody have another perspective on it? Student 3: Can I say something? I agree. I feel like going outside with a bonnet is ghetto. You can go outside with a scarf, but a bonnet? It just attracts too

“Back in the day, people used to get dressed up to go to the airport because that was the way that you could possibly get seat upgrades. ”

much attention. It’s big, and that’s why I feel maybe it’s not as ghetto if you go outside with a scarf. At the same time, why can a boy go outside with a durag and there’s no problem but when a girl goes outside with a bonnet or a scarf or something, it’s considered ghetto? Kimberly Goldson: That’s a good point. Originally, the same way we’re considering this with a bonnet was the same way that it was considered for guys to go out with their durags. Guys back in the day never used to... I mean, unless again they were running to the store. It was about keeping their waves together, so they had the durag on. Then when he stepped out, the durag was off and it was about their waves. You would see the durag line. Everybody was like, “Oh, we’ve got to get rid of the durag.” It was a big thing. So at first, it was perceived the exact same way as the bonnets. But it got normalized, just like the bonnet culture is getting normalized as well. I just want us as young women to have, like you all are saying, just a little bit more pride in what you look like when you’re going out into the street.

One thing that I’ve learned about fashion, when we go out, it’s our first expression about who we are. Nobody knows your name. They don’t know what you believe in. All they can do is just look at you first. So what we see is our first impression, and do you want your first impression to be, “I just rolled out of the bed. I didn’t care,” and all that? That’s the question I’m asking. Does anybody have a perspective from the other side? Like, “Yeah. I like to wear them because X, Y, and Z.” I’m really interested in both sides. Student 4: What if the bonnet or the durag was cuter? If it was glammed up, it has gems, it’s made for you to wear outside, like a fashion statement let’s say. I’m from Puerto Rico and there, we have something similar, but it’s called doobies. It’s basically where you take all your hair and wrap it around your head and clip it. We only wear that in the house, and then when we go out, we take it off. But there’s also the culture of some people wearing it outside to go do things. Of course, it’s not viewed well. It’s not something you usually see. One time, Rihanna went to, I think it was the Met Gala, with a doobie. We were like, “What are you doing? You’re not supposed to wear that outside,” but it had jewels and it looked very nice. Kimberly Goldson: We adopted doobies over here as well, black women, I remember maybe early 1990s, we got the doobie and we were like, “Oh, this is how we can keep our hair straight,” and that’s exactly what it was. You go, you get it done, you put the pins in. You never step outside with the pins. Then again, it became normalized so then they started doing colored pins, and then Rihanna made it a fashion statement to put the pins in. In terms of the bonnets, they try to make some fancy bonnets. Some have rhinestone gems in the front of it. I think for me the best compromise again, is a scarf. I remember in the 1960s and the 1970s when people wore printed scarves as a part of a fashion statement. Just to make it fashionable. The bonnet, to me, I don’t know a way that we can do that. It has to be totally reinvented in order for it to actually work as a fashion statement to me. But that’s just my opinion.

A Teenage Jewelry Designer Defying the Odds M A R I A M E B A H C R E AT E S J E W E L R Y I N S P I R E D B Y A F R I C A TO HIGHLIGHT BLACK EXCELLENCE AND DISCUSSES THE MANY IDENTITIES SHE EMBRACES.

my identity does not make me any different from the next person, but only inspires me to be better. It shows others who doubt me that I can rise above. What does it take to be a teenage entrepreneur? I wouldn’t necessarily consider myself an entrepreneur because I haven’t started an actual business. I have seen other business women my age, and if I could describe a teenage entrepreneur, I would say they are hard workers. Being a teenager, completing school work, and being able to create a business is truly amazing. You have to be willing to sacrifice some things for your business and also manage your time.

Tell us when you began making jewelry and your inspiration for your designs. To be honest, I never made jewelry until I was in this program for fashion. Why was it important to you to create a collection inspired by Africa? This was important to me because I am African. At the time the project was due, it was African American History Month and usually during this month, I am able to feel the black excellence. This year, maybe due to Covid-19, it didn’t even feel like we were celebrating Black History Month. This project was a way to bring light to my origins, and to remind people how important black people are in our society.

Have you decided that this is what you want to do as a career? Do you have additional goals and dreams? When I was younger I wanted to be in the fashion world. As I grew up I realized I did not want to pursue fashion as a career anymore. I’ve experienced some parts of fashion, and I see how wonderful it is, but it’s just not for me. I hope to become a travel nurse in the future, donate to those who need help, and travel. Those are really my life goals and dreams as of right now.

What should young people know about having dreams and pursuing them? Young people should know that no matter who you are, if you truly want something and you work for it, you will get it. I’m black, muslim, and a female; three of the most targeted groups of people. I’ve done many things at a young age that people can’t do in their 30’s, because I worked hard for it. I showed others that

Asia Milia Ware ASIA MILIA WARE OF TEEN VOGUE SITS DOWN WITH HARLEM’S CHILDREN’S ZONE ON LAUNCHING THEIR MAGAZINE: TEEN NOIR

Anosia Gyasi: Hey, my name is Anosia Gyasi, I’m a representative of “Teen Noir,” and we are so happy to see you here today. You inspire us to continue with our dreams and what we want to do to accomplish our goals. We have some questions to ask you. The first question is, “how did you start your career and why? Asia Milia Ware: I started my career out really interning when I was in college. I knew I wanted to work in the fashion industry when I was in high school. I’m from New York and in my senior year of high school, we went on a school trip to People Magazine and we got to sit in on the meetings. We spent the whole day there, and I remember going to the fashion closet and there were interns there and they were picking out samples and running out, picking things up. And I was like, “Oh my gosh, this is a job? I didn’t know a job like that existed.” But to be honest, I was a little discouraged when I left there. All of my classmates were like, “Oh my God, Asia, we could see you doing something like this.” They all knew I loved fashion. I loved beauty. But there was nobody at People magazine at the time that looked like me. This was in 2011 or 2012 and there was nobody that was Black there. There was nobody over a size two, four, and so it just didn’t look like a reality to me. When I went to college, I majored in education because it was something I was used to. And then after my first semester, I was like, ‘This is not what I want to do. I know

I want to work in fashion. I know I want to work in beauty, and I’m not going to waste money on a degree that I really don’t want.” And so I was like, “I’m just going to have to intern my butt off, and do what I have to do and work 10 times harder.” I started off interning for “College Fashionista.” I would write blogs about campus fashion. From there, I interned for a fashion designer doing public relations. I did it to get my foot in the door, but I learned so much. Any room I was in, I was just in a sponge. From there, I went on to intern with “Hot 97” which was not fashion at all, but it was in the media industry. Essence Magazine had a college ambassador program, so I did that when I was in college, which allowed me to get writing experience. I got to pitch ideas to real editors. I got to write for essence.com, and that was really kind of when the shift started happening, because I was like, “Oh wow, this is what I enjoy doing.” It was far from public relations, which I realized I didn’t like too much. It wasn’t the marketing media thing that I did at Hot 97 either. I enjoy writing and I enjoy pitching these stories.” I interned in New York Fashion Week, InStyle Magazine. It was just years of interning my way up. And then after InStyle Magazine, that was my final internship. And from there, I started at Teen Vogue and I’ve been there for a little over two years now.

“To be honest, I just really have to affirm myself and remind myself, you’ve come this far, you’ve done the work. You deserve to be in these rooms.”

Anosia Gyasi: What is something that would attract people to our magazine that we are creating? Asia Milia Ware: I think it’s so amazing that you guys are creating a magazine. I think what attracts people is really just being innovative and having cool stories. I think especially for me, the number one thing to not do is compare yourself to other magazines. Comparison is literally just, in life, in creating anything, it is the thief of joy. So if you kind of just block out what everybody else is doing and say, “Hey, what message do we want to get across?” And then explore how you can be innovative. Tell cool stories. If you know people who are local, talk about them.

Anosia Gyasi: Where do you see yourself in five years? Asia Milia Ware: Oh my gosh. This question always just makes me anxious, because honestly, I don’t know. Because if you would have asked me five years ago, where do I see myself in five years? It wouldn’t be here. But to be honest, I really just want to continue growing in the industry, continue telling stories. I really have been focused more on beauty lately rather than fashion, and I originally came into the industry interested in fashion, but over the past year, beauty has really just hit an emotional point. What motivates me is really just waking up and finding my purpose. And so in five years, I’ll probably have a little more grasp on what that is. So

honestly, I wake up every day and I do the work that prayerfully will get me to the next level. And yeah, we’ll see where that continues to take me in five years.

Anosia Gyasi: Well, thank you. We are so grateful for having you, and you look outstanding today. Asia Milia Ware: Oh, thank you so much! Brandice Daniel: Asia, I have a question. Did you have a point at which you didn’t feel worthy of your dream? Asia Milia Ware: Yeah, so honestly, I always tell people to this day, I feel like I battled imposter syndrome to the 10th power. A lot of times when I get invited to certain things or when I’m in certain rooms, well now Zooms, but I find myself questioning... I remember there would be times when I first started my job at Teen Vogue, when I would get invited to certain things and I’d be like, “Oh, this email is for Lindsay. They’re not inviting me.” And they’re like, “No, this is for you.” To be honest, I just really have to affirm myself and remind myself, you’ve come this far, you’ve done the work. You deserve to be in these rooms. Anosia Gyasi: Thank you so much for coming. Thank you so much for your time. Asia Milia Ware: Thank you guys!

How often should I clean or replace my makeup brushes?

How do you keep your hair smelling good without damaging it?

LeAnne Leget Kim Roxie Esthetician, Eyebrow Whiz and Founder of LAMIK Beauty

Director of Brand Communications, Carol’s Daughter and Softsheen-Carson

“I have a few go-to products and I promise they “Hi Anecia G.! There’s cleaning your makeup brushes which should happen after each use and then, there’s washing your makeup brushes, which is a weekly routine. You might clean your brushes after each use with a fast drying brush cleaner. But once a week, you take water and a brush to shampoo and wash your makeup brushes. Replacing your makeup brushes depends on the maintenance and quality of the brush. Most brushes last up to 3 years.”

are not just because I work on these brands :) A lot of times people forget that an important part of keeping your hair healthy and not damaging it, starts with the right shampoo and conditioner. That’s why I love the Carol’s Daughter Wash Day Delight Shampoo and Conditioner in Aloe. It leaves it really clean without stripping my hair and the aloe scent is everything - even my husband steals it! And then in between washes, especially after a workout or even when I’m wearing braids, my fave is the Dark & Lovely Protective Styles Hair Refresher. I spray a little on my scalp and roots to absorb excess oil and it adds a burst of fresh scent. I promise you will love these!”
