This Mothers Act of Stopping Unintentional Racism is Going Viral!
When Brigette Diez Kerr’s daughter asked her if she could have her hair styled like her best friend’s, this mothers response is going viral for all the right reasons.

“This is my daughter and her best friend. They’ve been BFFs since kindergarten. They are in 2nd grade now. My daughter got up the other morning for school and asked that I fix her hair like her best friend wears her hair. She wanted tiny braids just like her.
I didn’t give my daughter braids that morning. Instead, I told her we didn’t have time. That was a lie. It was MY fear of my daughter getting teased due to the stereotypes that we place on each other and how others perceive them that kept me from giving her braids that morning.
