Embracing Your Roots with Uzo Aduba | Baby, This is Keke Palmer | Podcast

Get ready to embrace your roots! This week, the fabulous Uzo Aduba joins us for a powerful conversation presented by Dove all about natural hair and the CROWN Act. Uzo opens up about her natural hair journey from childhood to Hollywood, and picks apart what the industry gets wrong about natural hair. We dive into the importance of the CROWN Act, why it’s such a game changer for Black women. Then we test out options for Uzo’s next signature look in a game called “Mane Thriller.”
