Always loved this video but did not know about the controversy and think it is silly. Black girls have a whole variety of curls and coils with various lengths. I think the puppet was meant to represent that.

Thumbs up for sure! As Amanda stated, the beauty standard is very real, and it's up to us to create opportunities for our girls and boys to celebrate all aspects of themselves. It starts with us being comfortable in our own skin first, then being insistent that our children (adopted or biological) follow suit.

Hope your Thanksgiving was awesome!!

I watched the video again. And I can't find any fault with it. The Puppet did wear 'her' hair in different lenght and style but didn't portray it in a way that denies the beauty of Black natural hair. Mazzarino did a great work and I glad his daughter has him for father.

I agree 100% with Faith and like her "I hope that many take the positive message and run with it. It is about time we realize just how beautiful and versatile our hair really is."

I love it. I think people are just looking for a reason not to love it.

I have to also agree that it was a thoughtful idea. Everything someone does has the potential to be criticized. Changing her hair is not a bad thing--it's actually reflective of what we do as black women: sometimes fro, sometimes braids, weave, wig, straight. We are very versatile. :)

I love it! To me the video shows our little girls the various styles they can wear.

My 3yo daughter is biracial she recently said "I want regular hair" I felt my blood pressure go up! I didn't over react, I just asked her "What's regular hair?" She said "black hair like yours" Thank God she didn't say straight hair like yours!

The beauty standard is alive and real.

I agree with Faith. I think the video is great.

i think it's awesome! i think he was trying to show that our hair comes in all different types. Also, showing that we can do so many different things with our hair. I think people get worked up on so many silly things. I think it is a great message and am really happy that someone found it to be something that needed to be discussed. I hope that many take the positive message and run with it. It is about time we realize just how beautiful and versatile our hair really is.
