Emily Bador is a white woman. She is not, therefore, a black woman. But her race came into play recently because of the new cover of Blackhair magazine, a British glossy that bills itself as “an internatio nal bi-monthly magazine for the style conscious black woman. I didn’t understand that as a white passing woman I’d be praised for this hair, but if I was a black woman I’d be persecuted. Davis wrote that the magazine staff didn’t know Bador was not black or mixed-race.
