Within days, hundreds of people began sharing their own stories – students, parents, even teachers. Local news covered it. Protest signs appeared outside the school. Finally, the school changed its policy. Ayanda returned with her head held high – and with all her locks untouched. For her, it wasn’t just about hair. It was about being seen and respected for who she was.
