NABJ Award Nominee: Black Women Going Natural

Another View has been nominated for a "Salute to Excellence" award by the National Association of Black Journalists for our show "African American Women Going Natural". This program, which originally aired on September 6, 2014, focused on the social, political, emotional and physical issues African American women face when they make the decision to go "natural". Our guests who discussed the natural hair movement included Rosalynne Whitaker-Heck, founder of MANE Event, which stands for My Authentically Natural Evolution; Jennifer Heck Cole who shared her personal story of going natural; NSU poltical science professor Carol Pretlow; journalist, author and talk show host, Wil LaVeist; and award-winning photographer Jason Johnson. We thought it would be fun to bring you this program while we are in Minneapolis at the award ceremony and hopefully we will come home the first place winner. Wish us luck...and tune in for an encore presentation of Another View this Friday, August 7 at noon on 89.5 WHRV-FM.
