Understanding this fight

These are some of the realities that black women have to endure and against which they rebel. We do not want to be white women, we are not uncomfortable with our features, we do not lack anything, says Antoinette Torres, founder and director of the virtual community Afroféminas, at S Moda.

Understanding this fight better means knowing the prohibitions of those who have been victims. Like the Tignon Laws of Louisiana (Princess Hair Review), which in the eighteenth century forced black and Creole women to cover their hair with turbans to preserve public morals.
