Dozens of photographers came together in an act of amazing solidarity to help a third-grader spread her Black girl magic after her school recently chastised her for how she wears red extensions in her braids.
Last month, a Michigan family was furious after 8-year-old Marian Scott was denied a chance to take school pictures at Paragon Charter Academy because of red streaks of color in her hair.
Taking school pictures is an annual ritual and even though parents have to pay for them, Doug Scott said his daughter, Marian was denied that opportunity just because of her choice in har color.
Well, that didn’t sit well with a few photogs who traveled to the school to give Marian her very own photo session, flossing whatever colored-hair, in whatever style, she wanted to wear, WILX-TV reported.
And before you ask, yes, Marian chose to wear her red buns and looked cute as a button.
