Black people are buying hair and other people are buying real estate. We are in a state of emergency and we have to own the things that are culturally ours.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also said traditional cosmetology school, and what is taught there, isn&#8217;t for Black folks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe institution of cosmetology school is the reason why Black women don\u2019t have hair today. Cosmetology has never supported Black people and it has never supported Black hair. They only include Black hair if it is colored or has chemicals. I don\u2019t want to see my sisters with European hair. This industry needs to change and shift, but this industry does not make space for truth tellers,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"file-3792488\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vmcdn.ca\/f\/files\/bkreader\/images\/arts-and-entertainment\/locnificent-fest-6-arts-and-entertainment-\/img_4871(1).png;w=960\" alt=\"img_4871(1)\" \/><figcaption>LOCnificent Festival Drummer Cornelio Joseph.
