"My name is Faith Fennidy and I'm proud to say that I inspired the song you're about to hear by an artist I love," the teen said before recalling the experience that led to Guyton writing the song.
"A few years ago, I was sent home from school because my braids were said to be a distraction," Fennidy explained."It was devastating for me. But this next artist created this song to make sure girls like me feel seen and loved." After the applause from the audience settled, Fennidy added,"And that’s how you turn something painful into something very positive. With your help, we can work together to ensure the next generation grows up in a respectful and open world for natural hair."
Guyton then took the stage to sing the emotional song, with help from fellow musicians Brittney Spencer and Madeline Edwards. Mickey Guyton performs song "Love My Hair" with Brittney Spencer and Madeline Edwards at the 55th annual Country Music Association awards.The three singers, who all showcased curly, voluminous Black hair, harmonized on the impactful chorus that goes,"I used to think what God gave me wasn't fair/ I'd braid it all/Just to hide the curls up there/ I found my freedom/ When I learned not to care/ Now I'm not scared/ To love who I am/ I love my hair.
Need two rooms for that hair
