How unthinking, uninformed and unwoke can the Evening Standard Magazine be to airbrush the crown of braids from an artist famous for her work - don’t touch my hair. 

The headline even: Owning my body is really important to me.   

So ES airbrushes her hair.  

Gulp.  

“Braiding is an act of beauty... and an act of tradition - it is its own art form”  

So go ahead censor her life and art.  

Want a lively informative conversation ask a black woman about her hair, what she thinks about it and how it’s been represented over the last 50 years.  

But don’t touch it.
