Take a look at this young lady. Do you notice anything outrageous about her appearance? Would you describe her as looking anything other than neat and professional? We received an appeal concerning one of our sisters in uniform that we have to pass along to you.

This case is reminiscent of the recent case with the Baltimore police department where certain hair styles were banned by people who clearly did not understand natural Black hair. Thanks to the response of the community, that regulation was overturned. Kim’s hair is neat, clean and professional. But, don’t take our word for it.
