Black hair on Broadway

I have been in rooms where I’ve been made to feel like my hair is a problem that needs to be fixed. I have not booked jobs because the production didn’t wan’t to deal with my hair. I have shown up to jobs fearful & prepared to do my own hair because I know its going to be an issue. I have been the recipient of jeers, snide remarks, and flippant phrases in a professional setting because of my hair. I’ve been told how much better I look when my wig is on; “You should wear your hair like that more often.”
