dreads and stereotypes
Life Issues Facing Dreads
I'm a social worker for children and family. I have a bac. in Psychology and a Master's in Social Work. I also have a nose ring. I'm a professional and dare someone to comment on my Locs or my nose ring. there are cultural and religious reasons why I wear them, other than this is how my hair grows without a man made item raking it everyday. no problems thus far. I think there is a problem because people who have bad hygine also wear them. however, people with bad hygine also wear their hair unlocked. I also live in Los Angeles CA. soooo, It may be different if Ii lived in a less accepting place.
