Black Woman Helps White Mom Learn How To Style Adopted Daughter's Hair Because The World Is Good Sometimes

For most people, the 24 hour news cycle seems to grind our brains into dust with endless bad news and harsh realities.

That's why it's important, every once in a while, to take notice of humanity's unsung gems, like a kind stranger stepping up to help a family in need out of the sheer goodness of her heart.


Two years ago, Stephanie Hollifield and her husband, who are white, adopted their daughter Haley, who is black.

Of course, their skin color made no impact on how much the new parents loved their baby (with all their hearts), but it did present a small problem a couple years later as Haley grew up:

Stephanie didn't know how to do her daughter's hair.

So Stephanie asked for help. And she got it.

Hollifield posted to Facebook outlining her dilemma:

"A couple of days ago, I posted to Facebook asking for advice on caring for my African American daughter's hair. As a white mama, I was a bit lost."

She probably expected some advice via Facebook messenger, or perhaps recommendation of good salons, but instead a woman named Monica Hunter reached out with an incredibly generous offer.

"This lady, Monica Hunter, who I had never met in person before today, offered to come to my house and walk me through exactly how to style my daughter's hair."

Hunter taught Hollifield everything she would need to know and even brought some supplies along!

"She gave us her time, advice, headbands, combs and hair product."

Although hair product is often very expensive, Hunter asked for nothing in return.

"She asked for nothing in return and wouldn't accept my money. By the time she left I had a little more confidence in fixing my daughter's hair, and most importantly I felt supported by my new friend."

The internet could not have been more impressed by Hunter stepping up to help a family in need.

Hollifield won't be forgetting Hunter's kindness anytime soon.

"In a time of so much hate and division, our world needs more people like this."

J.D. Vance Faces Backlash After Saying He Hopes His Wife Usha Will Be 'Moved' To Convert To Christianity

Vice President JD Vance was criticized after he said during a Turning Point USA event that he hopes his wife, Second Lady Usha Vance, who is the daughter of Telugu-speaking Indian Hindu immigrants who hail from Andhra Pradesh, will convert to Christianity someday and "see things the same way" that he does.

A woman in the audience had the opportunity to ask Vance how he squares having a Hindu wife and mixed-race children with his anti-immigration rhetoric, a nod to the Trump administration's ongoing immigration crackdown that is tearing families across the country apart.

Even Trump's NASA Director Had To Set Kim Kardashian Straight After She Said The Moon Landing 'Didn't Happen'

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy—who is also NASA's Acting Administrator—issued the weirdest fact-check ever when he corrected reality star Kim Kardashian after she revealed herself to be a moon landing conspiracist.

Conspiracy theorists have long alleged the moon landing was fabricated by NASA in what they claim was an elaborate hoax—and Kardashian certainly made it clear where she stands in a video speaking to co-star Sarah Paulson on the set of the new Hulu drama All’s Fair.

For the average person, there isn't generally a lot of excess money to spend frivolously when they're a child, so when they hit their twenties and have their first "real" or "more important" job, they might find themselves in a position to enjoy some of the finer things in life.
