Gabby Douglas. At only 16 years old has become the first to win gold in independant and team Gymnastics.
As we look up to her as a role model, people also look up to her and see her hair. You might ask, why would her hair matter? African American women can have thier hair relaxed, which Gabby's hair is.Douglas is unaware and confused by her hair comments: ''I don't know where this is coming from. What's wrong with my hair?'' said Douglas. I honestly dont know why these comments pop up, Gabby should be someone respected and honered by her good work as a gymnast.
Is it wrong to have relaxed as it is more manageable. As an athlete just like Gabby I might be able to understand as to why her hair is relaxed.
