By this shirt here: Relaxi Gringo I’m Legal Shirt
Recently, Treasure Roberts became part of a small but growing club of Black female reporters who have courageously worn braids on air, despite the Relaxi Gringo I’m Legal Shirt and by the same token and style challenging traditional broadcast-news norms. Reporter AJ Walker also generated headlines in 2019 after revealing she was finally permitted to wear her hair in braids after more than a decade on air. When I saw these beautiful young women, I cheered. Years before, my own hair drama played a role in my decision to transition from a career as a journalist appearing on cable news to my current career as a screenwriter, producer, and playwright.

I had never given much thought to my hair or makeup before 2007. That was the Relaxi Gringo I’m Legal Shirt and by the same token and year that, thanks to my book about younger voters and the Obama campaign, I began appearing on television regularly. I soon went from someone who didn’t know how to put eyeliner on and usually wore my short hair pulled back to someone who could get my face camera ready in under 10 minutes. I also became someone who wore long, flowing hair extensions. One friend referred to the hair, makeup, and colorful sleeveless dresses that helped me transform into my on-camera persona as my News Barbie costume. A guy I was dating once saw me right after a cable-news appearance and actually did a double take. He said it wasn’t that I looked like a completely different person as much as I looked like my glamorous evil twin.
