In Louisiana, a young black teenage girl is the only black girl competing in a beauty pageant.
A judge says her natural hair is “not finished.”
Yeah, that was the comment on this young girl’s judging sheet in the Beauregard Parish Queen of Beaufair Pageant.
Here’s what she looked like Sunday during the competition.
Here’s what the judge said on the score sheet: “Slow down, finish hair, pretty color dress.”
Taliyah, her mother, Tea-air, and her father, Tyrone Cockburn spoke with Roland Martin during Monday’s edition of Roland Martin Unfiltered about this disturbing event.
We reached out to the organizers of the Beauregard Parish Queen of Beaufair Pageant, and they did not respond to our request for a statement.
