Sixteen-year-old Autumn Williams is still trying to understand how the blonde hair color in her braids was deemed unnatural at her Chick-Fil-A job.

I can’t read the article from the uk. Here’s a photo of her hair at the time for anyone interested.![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/f4ee107a-baa2-4ce6-acd5-6ee6d01540d5.jpeg)

It looks great.
And it’s her natural color! Tons of black Americans have brown and even blonde hair, largely as a result of slavery. Penalizing her for her lighter hair color is just the cherry on the shit sundae of what we’ve put black people through in this country.
Yeah I thought my friend was bullshitting me when she told me she didn’t bleach it or anything. “Come on, my ancestors were slaves. Do the math”
Wow, I was picturing some crazy color (which wouldn’t have anything wrong either), but this is a “normal” hair color!
