Indianapolis Teen Has Twitter In A Tizzy With Her New Invention— Bonnets With Pockets
Some even referenced comedian Mo’Nique’s recent Instagram post where she said it’s distasteful for young Black women to appear in public with a bonnet and loungewear on.
“I saw so many of our young sisters in head bonnets, scarves, slippers, pajamas blankets wrapped around them and this is how they’re showing up to the airport,” the actress said. “The question that I have for you my sweet babies is when did we lose pride in representing ourselves?”
“When did we step away of let me make sure I’m presentable when I leave my home?” When did we step away let me make sure I’m representing the family that I created so that when I’m out in the street I look like I have pride in myself,” she continued.
The Baltimore native emphasized that people wearing bonnets outside of the house aren’t properly representing themselves.
“Always have pride in your representation of you,” she said. “If you look like you don’t give a damn, how you gonna be treated? Queens don’t walk around with bonnets, and headscarves, and slippers and pajamas, that’s for the house.”
