When the Dance Team Excluded Curly Hair: Sydney Bresnahan's Story
Jul 28, 202655 minS6
Send us Fan Mail When the Dance Team Excluded Curly Hair: Sydney Bresnahan's Story explores what happens when appearance standards unintentionally leave textured hair out of the picture. In this episode of the Hair What I'm Saying Podcast , host Kinetra Stewart sits down with former high school dancer Sydney Bresnahan to discuss the reality of navigating dance team hair expectations with naturally curly hair. Sydney shares how being in uniform often meant straightening her natural curls or wearing straight wigs to meet team standards, the financial and emotional costs of maintaining that look, and the moment she witnessed a teammate being told to straighten a synthetic curly wig before a performance. Together, they examine the difference between uniformity and inclusion , asking an important question: Can a team truly be inclusive if everyone has to look the same? This conversation isn't about criticizing one school or one coach. It's about exploring how beauty standards, performance expectations, and institutional norms can disproportionately affect dancers with textured hair. Whether you're a dancer, coach, educator, parent, or someone who's ever felt pressured to change your natural hair to fit in, this episode invites you to rethink what inclusion really looks like.

Black Hair in Uniform: Who Were the Standards Written For?
Jul 5, 20261h 17m
Send us Fan Mail What happens when your hair won't stay in regulation, your beret rubs out your edges, and the water on deployment is turning your hair orange? In this episode of Hair What I'm Saying , veteran Jacinda Mitchell shares what it was really like navigating Black hair in uniform while serving more than 23 years in the military. From getting her entire squad smoked because her ponytail wouldn't stay up during basic training to cutting her hair just to survive military life, Jacinda offers an honest look at the realities behind military standards that weren't designed with textured hair in mind. Together, we explore the physical and emotional impact of strict grooming regulations, creative workarounds like sewing satin into berets, the challenges of caring for natural hair during deployments, and the quiet sacrifices many Black women made in the name of professionalism. But this conversation reaches beyond military service. Jacinda reflects on entering corporate America, where replacing straight wigs with her natural afro changed the way colleagues perceived her, proving that conversations about Black hair , identity , and professionalism don't end when the uniform comes off. If you've ever wondered who the standards were written for , this episode offers a thoughtful and deeply personal perspective on service, resilience, and authenticity.
