“Don’t Touch My Hair”

By Solange

Solange reflects on Black ownership, particularly Black people’s ownership of their own culture. In a time of rampant cultural appropriation being disguised as “appreciation” and “celebration,” Solange commands people outside of the community to keep their hands off the community’s property. Hair becomes a symbol for Black culture, creativity, and innovation.
