California Braided!

California becomes the first state in the nation to ban hairstyle discrimination.

Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into state law a ban on discrimination. This ban will eliminate employers from shunning potential recruits because of their hairstyle.

The Democratic governor personally signed on this legislation.

This state law will keep schools, workplaces and establishments from discriminating against people of color who wear hairstyles such as braids, twists and locks.

The state lawmaker who sponsored the bill was Holly Mitchell, a Democratic state senator from Los Angeles. She is a Black woman who wears her hear in locks and said that California should never discriminate against potential recruits because of their names, their communities and their hairstyles.

Gavin Newsom signs into law a ban on discriminating against hair styles. Women of color cannot be turned away from employers because they want to be natural or braided.

"We are changing the course of history, hopefully, across the country by acknowledging that what has been defined as professional hair styles and attire in the work place has historically been based on a Euro-centric model --- based on straight hair."

After a New Jersey teen was forced to cut his braids in order to wrestle, Mitchell decided she had enough of the discrimination. She said its time to allow hair to be free.

Brittany Noble, a qualified Black journalist and news anchor was fired out the cannon from Jackson, Mississippi television station WJTV (Nexstar Media).

She is currently suing Nexstar Media because she felt the company targeted her because of her race.

Noble felt that she was chastised for wearing her natural hair. She also filed a formal complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

What a great day in the country.

California is the state that moves forward while Donald J. Trump's Amerikkka continues to stay in the status quo. The type of country that Tim Ryan wants our nation to be. The type of country that Justin Amash wants our nation to be. The type of nation that continues to allow white male privilege decide on who's qualified and who's not. If I decided to come into an employer in Ohio with an Afro or braids, would I be hired or turned away. Cause in the United States, hiring discrimination is still a big issue.

If a woman wears her hair in a natural Afrikan style, it should be praised. After all, you rather hire the person than their hairstyle.
