S2E6 - Me, My Black Hair & I: A Story of Power and Pride (Part 1)
Black hair is more than style — it’s identity, confidence, and care.
In this episode of The Pink Dot, we sit down with my friend Nicole to talk about her personal journey with her hair — growing up in the American South, being told she had “good hair,” and what that meant in a world shaped by beauty standards she didn’t choose.Through open, thoughtful storytelling, she reflects on what it means to love and understand her natural hair, to navigate belonging between different spaces, and to find empowerment in her roots.
Nicole’s parents, Ronald and Brenda, also share their own experiences, reminding us how deeply hair connects generations — from everyday routines to symbols of pride and resilience.
Part 2 is coming out next Tuesday!

He also opens up about how his relationship with his family evolved — from deep support to painful distance — and what it means to hold space for both.
A raw, honest conversation about chosen family, queer joy, and the power of rewriting your own story.

Part 1 – Church, Creativity & Closeted Youth
In Part 1, we meet Alistair — a boy from rural New Zealand who unexpectedly finds purpose, community, and creative expression in a Pentecostal church. We explore how faith offered belonging, how queerness remained unspoken, and how he went from a small-town teenager to producing massive kids’ conferences in Sydney’s megachurch scene.
A powerful beginning to a story about faith, identity, and the slow unraveling of both.
Part 2 comes out on Thursday, stay tuned!
