I was having a particularly stressful day trying to find a good Adult Day Care provider for my mother who has Alzheimers when I got a Facebook message from a friend.
My friend messaged me about the Gabby Douglas Twitter buz because I've written about the intersection between Black women's hair and social status. She naturally thought I'd be interested in the story. (In case you're reading this and don't have a clue what I'm talking about – Gabby Douglas, the U.S. gymnast who won Olympic gold in both individual and team gymnastic events this week has been the topic of much discussion in social media around – of all things – her hair!!)
