The Questions We Carry

About the Show

Growing up, Michelle Young had questions about her own hair and skin that she hesitated to ask — as if asking would somehow make her Blackness seem less authentic. The truth is, Black women have been navigating hair and skin care in a world where research, education, product testing, and even medical imagery have historically centered lighter skin and straighter hair. This show is the space to finally ask: conversations about skincare, healthy hair practices, protective styles, hormonal changes, and scalp health — with the dermatologists, aestheticians, hairstylists, and other experts who specialize in Black skin and hair.
