Exclusive Interview with Kamau Austin and Dr. Dona Cooper

Dr. Dona Cooper is an insightful and brilliant bridge joining two fields of health essentials to Black people.  She brings together medical procedures and natural holistic remedies often thought of as diametrically opposed to each other.

Dr. Cooper blends both fields. I believe health is definitely a form of wealth.

Health expenses can defund our wealth.  Moreover, medications can have side effects.

However, Dr. Dona, can transverse both fields in an authoritative way.  I feel  happy and honored I was able to get the busy medical professional and natural health MD maven to do an exclusive interview with me.  Checkout my exclusive interview with her after the short videos below...

Controversial Black Hair Exhibit in NYC Reveals the Truth About White Privilege
The exhibition opens on October 10th at
7pm at Restoration Plaza, in Brooklyn, NY.

Would you change your hair for a job? This bold question lies at the heart of BAD Hair Uprooted: The Untold History of Black Follicles, a groundbreaking exhibition set to open on October 10th at 7pm at Restoration Plaza in Brooklyn, NY. Through a collection of powerful interviews with non-Black individuals, this exhibition offers a fresh perspective on hair discrimination and the far-reaching implications of unequal hair rights.

While celebrating the beauty and diversity of natural hair, award-winning Social Entrepreneur and photographer Mireille Liong, M.S., seeks to uncover the deeper societal biases that continue to fuel hair-based discrimination. BAD Hair Uprooted flips the script, exposing long ignored prejudices that extend beyond personal appearance and dive into issues of race, identity, and self-expression.

From BAD Hair Uprooted, the Untold History of Black Follicles

Black people are uniquely pressured to conform to Eurocentric hair standards, particularly in the workplace. For Black women, this often means chemically altering their natural hair or wearing wigs and weaves to meet restrictive and outdated dress codes — just to maintain employment.

The consequences of these pressures are staggering: 73% of Black women suffer from hair loss, class action lawsuits are mounting against companies that manufacture toxic relaxers, and the Black hair care industry has ballooned to billions, disproportionately impacting communities of color.

Rev. Dr. Georgia A. Hill and Diane Proctor Reeder Reveal the Powerful Connection Between Black Women and Women of the Bible

Authors Rev. Dr. Georgia A. Hill (left) and Diane Proctor Reeder (Right)

Rev. Dr. Georgia A. Hill and Diane Proctor Reeder, two African American authors from Detroit, Michigan are on a mission: to combine their faith, their Black-ness and their female-ness to tell a unique story that combines those three aspects of their lives.

“Black women are everywhere: in the courtroom and the kitchen in churches, in classes teaching kids, in pulpits preaching sermons, in countries serving as missionaries, and in business as CEOs—and yet the next generations will not be able to read about them unless the books are written,” says Rev. Georgia.

Diane comments, “The amazing women of the Bible, we find, have stories just as compelling, just as dramatic, just as difficult, and just as deeply spiritual as the men. They are just largely unsung and underexplored.”

Combine these two groups of underappreciated, underrecognized women and you have their book, A Cloud of Women: The Powerful Connection Between Black Women and Women of the Bible (published in January 2024 by Our Daily Bread’s African American VOICES Collection).
