Can Going Natural Really Affect Your Career?

Dec 28, in Beauty & Style, Guests of the Inner Sanctum, by Dr. Phoenyx Austin

I ask this question because Iâ€™ve noticed an interesting trend in the whole â€œnatural hair is unprofessionalâ€ perspective. Iâ€™ve found many times that a black womanâ€™s perceptions of how natural hair might be perceived are oftentimes not reality, but just a reflection and projection of her own insecurities. Moreover, when I went natural it was interesting to observe that the only criticisms of unprofessionalism that I received were from a handful of other black peopleâ€” non-black people didnâ€™t seem to care.

Question of the Week: White Guy Asks, “How Can I Get Over My Fear of Approaching Black Women?”

Dec 28, in Question of the Week, by Christelyn Karazin

So as a WM fairly new to IRR (even though I have had interest in this direction for quite awhile), I have to admit that I never really was very sure how to approach a black woman as opposed to a white woman. I wasnt strong enough to be willing to overcome the taboo. And I am guilty of applying one perceived characteristic – race loyalty of BW as far as dating was concerned – to everyone in that group. So other than the part of these issues in my head, what do we do about some of these issues in a larger context?
