HU Forensics and Debate Team participated in the off-Broadway,
Actor’s Association production of “Supernatural: The Play” on March 29 at the
Downing-Gross Cultural Arts Center in Newport News, Va.
The play starred Kim Coles, who is popularly known from the television
sitcom “Living Single.” Alongside her playing Bertina was Professor Jamantha
Watson, coach of the HU Forensics & Debate Team, and Ivana Thomas, award-winning
team member, playing Hannah.
The production focused on promoting the natural hairstyles
of African-American women, and will be featured in a competition for the NAACP
Image Awards.
"I think because African-American women have so many choices, we tend to take the most popular route to styling our hair," said Watson. "It had been years since I'd actually let my hair down and wore it naturally. This was, to say the least, freeing to my hair, my scalp, and to my spirit."
