In the future, the term “tight curly” will be preferred when it comes to hair that was once called frizzy. This last adjective, initially referring to the fleece of an animal, is therefore led to be supplanted by the new expression, which is more adequate and less denigrating. This is one of the many things that the public can learn by listening to the miniseries of eight capsules hosted by actress Schelby Jean-Baptiste and her accomplices Keithy Antoine and Irdens Exantus.
The cultural magazine Don’t lie to youexplores topics affecting black communities. From hair to racial profiling to mixed relationships, the show offers an interesting and diverse roundup that debunks some taboos. Each program is built from a series of interviews. We see public figures as well as committed citizens, professionals in their field.
Both heartwarming and invigorating, the discussions prove relevant for anyone wishing to listen to the series brimming with authenticity. The only defect of this one is in the too short duration of the episodes of 20 minutes, where one sometimes feels an eagerness to tell stories which deserve a larger platform, because of their importance.
Despite the delicacy of certain subjects, the magazine is imbued with a pleasant lightness where judgment gives way to the desire to create a bridge between cultures. A step towards better living together, if only by starting by properly naming tight curly hair.
