This article, written by former Afro owner, Bruce Handy, is about how one small aspect of a person can define them in the public eye. Handy used to be a white man with a sizable Afro, which was a unique feature. He goes on to explain how that became his identifier; he was "That Kid with the Huge Afro". It got to the point where he despised his hair for making him into that individual, and he ended up cutting it off.
It got me thinking about other public figures with some memorable quality that defines them; like Donald Trump's hair, as mentioned in the article. The model, Twiggy, was famous for being so thin, I wonder if she grew to hate her body? Did Marilyn Monroe hate her beauty mark?
