i started this project of hair beauty shop culture project
about seven years ago mostly because i lived in san francisco for almost twenty
years and
i went to the same hairdresser year after year after year
called eating matthews so long and it was all black
i never saw anybody of any other race
and i just thought it was very interesting and a white woman came
and to the slum one-day is that i just want to have a you know washington which
is a very simple thing and g_t_e_ conder way
and as soon as she left she said i don't see a white hair and i thought that was
incredible because date is not a racist that she was almost protecting this
environment is protecting them culture and then conversations that were
happening
that space and i was there because they numerically love my hairdresser i

intrinsically is tied a breeze

and this one to be careful how i represent other
types of people so it's interesting that's what people don't want to talk
about rates because they're afraid they're going to say they want to bring
it into the wrong thing and i think we need to open up the bronze
now while the border in savings of every
