***Update***
Thanks everyone for sending in your adorable photos! I’ll keep this thread open another day for those who still want to send in photos. And look out for author Wendy Raven McNair’s interview on Thursday :)
***
So I’ve always wanted to do this! Many of you had thick, healthy and INCREDIBLY cute natural hair when you were babies/young girls. And this week we have an interview with author Wendy Raven McNair about the importance of putting natural haired characters in children’s literature. In preparation for that I want you to submit your baby pictures along with your name and details of the photo to blackgirllonghair@gmail.com . (Make sure the photos clearly show your hair.) Put “Baby Hair” in the title.
I am TOO excited for this :)
I got things started with a couple photos we’ve received in the past…
