The Value of Joy Reid

Joy Reid is responsible for my signature afro. It was late 2018; I was in the make-up chair at MSNBC, and the make-up artists said, "You have such nice hair." My hair was getting pretty long, and I thought she was nicely telling me it was time to get it cut, as older Black women in my life were always telling me whenever I’d let my hair get too long. I assured her that I was going to the barber shop right after my Saturday spot on "AM Joy."
