- Don’t defend our ways
- Organize to win
- Move from abundance – We come from a space of scarcity. We must work from a place of abundance
- We bring our people with us
- Deep relationships by attraction, not promotion
- Divest/invest
- We value our warriors
- Room for grace—be able to be human
- We cannot let our oppressors inhumanity take away from ours
- Strategy includes guidance
- Realness: Sometimes the truth hurts
- Unapologetic but keep it classy

While it is terrible that the outcome in this case is even worse because of the extra context, the fact that the school mandates hairstyles in a way that even leads to exemptions is ridiculous. The whole concept of acceptable hairstyles is racist and classist at its core, and this is an example of why that is the case.
I got more pushback against my long hair in 2022 than I did in 1982, despite it actually being shorter. I graduated from a Catholic high school in 1974 with a uniform policy and there were boys with hair down below their shoulder blades. People are just plain weird with all their power tripping nonsense.
