'This little girl has no idea of the impact that she's made,' her teacher says.
In an April 6 email to Freckle, Joyner wrote,"One of my students was so sad the other day and I asked her why and she said, 'Well I'm sad because there isn't Black girl hair for me to choose.' I told her I would reach out and see if we could get it added.""Morgan said, 'Maybe they just don't even know what Black girl hair looks like, so I'm just going to draw them some pictures,'" Joyner recalled.
The email came during class, so Joyner messaged Morgan privately on Zoom and told her to check the app's store. In addition to more hairstyles, Freckle now lets users change their avatar's skin and hair colors and offers a wheelchair, additional wig options and head coverings for students who prefer not to show their hair.
Germain also confirmed plans for further customization, such as a hearing aid or cochlear implant, and more career-based items.Bugg said Joyner is a great example of how teachers can be advocates for their students rather than brushing off their concerns.
