Here at AFW, we love seeing black girl magic getting more and more attention around the world. Representation in the media is one of the many fights people of color are continuously fighting every day. While strides have been made toward diversity and inclusion – like the new Little Mermaid live-action remake including a young black woman as everyone’s favorite mermaid!
Now, more and more black news anchors have been spotted across the countries have been spotted sporting some natural hairstyles on national television. Seeing these beautiful women wearing their hair naturally gives us so much hope for the future! Here’s our list of some of our favorite news anchors giving us natural hair realness!
1. Demtria Obilor – ABC8 in Dallas, Texas
2. Jazmin Bailey – NBC 2 in Florida
3. Jacque Reid – WNBC’s New York Live
4. Brittany Noble Jones – Formally at WJTV 12 in Mississippi
5. Dana Whyte – WLNS in Michigan
I wore my natural hair on tv for the first time ever today! This has been an internal battle that I’ve been struggling with ever since I decided to become a reporter. Finally feeling true to myself 💗 #blackgirlmagic pic.twitter.com/f9x1u0XuQJ
