Raven Symoné Says People Of All Races Should Be Able To Get Braids

Buy Me A Coffee

When it comes to speaking her mind, Raven-Symoné is like that one friend who always shows up uninvited but with the tea no one knew they needed. This time, she popped off on a podcast, alongside her wife Miranda Maday, and what was the topic? Hair. Yes, HAIR—because apparently, we’re still out here arguing about what grows out of people’s heads.

Now, as Raven got comfy and prepared to spill her follicle philosophies, you could tell she had been waiting for this moment her whole life. You could practically hear her scalp tingling with excitement.

Hair: It’s Not Just Dead Protein, It’s Politics

Raven didn’t just tiptoe into this discussion, oh no. She cannonballed straight into it, hair-weave-flipping in slow motion, to drop her nugget of wisdom:

“I think no matter what color you are, you should be able to wear braids or whatever styles in anybody else’s hair,” Raven announced, as if delivering breaking news from a galaxy far, far away. “Just keeping it 100.”

Yes, friends, Raven is out here channeling her inner Oprah, but instead of cars, she’s giving out hair opinions: “You get braids! You get braids! EVERYBODY GETS BRAIDS!”

She’s not done though. Nope. The hot takes keep flowing like conditioner in a Pantene commercial. Raven went on to share her dislike of the whole workplace-hair-drama-turned-racist-nightmare scenario, which honestly feels like something out of a weird episode of The Office but with less Jim and more judgment.

Enter: Vikings with Cornrows

Hold onto your shampoo bottles, because here’s where things get wild. Raven wasn’t content with just discussing the politics of hair in the modern world. Oh no, she cracked open the history books and yeeted us back to the era of… wait for it… Vikings, Chinese dynasties, and Mongolians—all of whom she claims were out here doing cornrows before it was cool.

You heard that right. Apparently, cornrows were the original hipster hairstyle, and we didn’t even know it. Raven’s basically out here saying that the next time you see someone with intricate braids, it could be a nod to a Viking battle braid or maybe an ancient Mongolian hairdo passed down through centuries. Who needs Game of Thrones when we have Game of Hairbrushes?

But let’s bring it back to the present, where the real villains aren’t fire-breathing dragons, but corporate HR departments telling people their curls are “unprofessional.” To this, Raven said (probably with a hair flip), “Unacceptable!” and then probably added an invisible mic drop for good measure.

Miranda, Raven’s wife, also shared some of her own musings on the matter, but let’s be honest—Raven’s Viking hair history bombshell kind of stole the show.

Tune in next time, where Raven might reveal that Marie Antoinette actually invented the messy bun.
