00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:01.971
<v ->Just like the beauty of
all of our locks and stuff,</v>

2
00:00:01.971 --> 00:00:02.804
you know, like.

3
00:00:02.804 --> 00:00:03.637
<v ->Yeah.</v>

4
00:00:03.637 --> 00:00:04.850
<v ->If we can please just
make sure to just come back</v>

5
00:00:04.850 --> 00:00:08.110
to Sonequa's braids just
because that was the most

6
00:00:08.110 --> 00:00:09.753
exciting thing I've ever seen.

7
00:00:09.753 --> 00:00:10.600
(laughing)
<v ->Exactly.</v>

8
00:00:10.600 --> 00:00:11.450
Gorgeous.
<v ->Got to.</v>

9
00:00:11.450 --> 00:00:12.390
This is a great entry point.

10
00:00:12.390 --> 00:00:15.985
Black women's hair in "Trek"
when Soniqua Martin-Green,

11
00:00:15.985 --> 00:00:17.389
when those promo images

12
00:00:17.389 --> 00:00:19.280
for "Discovery" season three popped out,

13
00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:22.630
and she's got those mid
back length box braids.

14
00:00:22.630 --> 00:00:24.300
It snatched my breath.

15
00:00:24.300 --> 00:00:25.300
I posted about it.

16
00:00:25.300 --> 00:00:26.133
I lost my mind,

17
00:00:26.133 --> 00:00:27.620
even if I wasn't involved
in the franchise,

18
00:00:27.620 --> 00:00:29.890
I was gleeful as a fan.
<v ->Yeah, yeah.</v>

19
00:00:29.890 --> 00:00:31.349
<v ->How did you guys feel?</v>

20
00:00:31.349 --> 00:00:34.030
<v ->Well what you just said
is really important and I,</v>

21
00:00:34.030 --> 00:00:36.260
I hope that people who
are creating content

22
00:00:36.260 --> 00:00:37.710
understand that and hear that,

23
00:00:37.710 --> 00:00:39.836
you saw something that represented you.

24
00:00:39.836 --> 00:00:40.770
All of a sudden,

25
00:00:40.770 --> 00:00:43.550
you saw yourself on a screen.

26
00:00:43.550 --> 00:00:44.730
And this is imperative you know,

27
00:00:44.730 --> 00:00:48.740
we don't even realize how
seeing ourselves represented

28
00:00:48.740 --> 00:00:52.483
can help a child decide
which path they wanna go.
