The teacher sent a letter home to inform the girl’s mother that her hair ‘stinks’ and other kids ‘tease her’ about it.
Tionna Norris shared the letter in question on her Facebook page in 2017. The teacher was concerned about the amount of coconut oil Hope was applying to her daughter, Amia’s hair, and claims that it has made her a target of bullying from her classmates.

“Dear Tiona,” the teacher opens her letter. “I understand the amount of coconut oil on Amia’s hair, but please do not use as much. The children were complaining that her hair ‘stinks.’”
“If you have to apply daily - please do so lightly, so the kids don’t tease her. Thank you for understanding.” Instead of taking the teacher’s unsolicited advice, Norris shared that she would not be making any changes to Amia’s hair routine.
“Y’all gonna feel that black girl magic. Sincerely, unapologetically from a Black mom,” she wrote in her Facebook post alongside a photo of her adorable daughter. “P.S. Coconut oil has no stinky smell.”
