Woman shares a story about how a company took back job offer over her refusal to take out her braids

Lara Odoffin shared the post on Facebook, which
was accompanied with a letter from the company.
Read her story below:
So after being accepted for a position within
this company, they have taken back the
offer of a position on the grounds that if I
do not take my braids out. Naturally I
simply cannot work for the company. This
type of discrimination should not still be
happening in this day and age and any
establishment still condoning such practices
deserve to be shamed and criticised. Being a
black woman means that to have a long
term hairstyle that stays neat is always
going to be a problem. Having braids that
last for 2-4 months and can be packed
neatly and styled to however a workplace
requires is the solution to this problem. No
workplace has any right to forbid you from
this. This is discrimination and I am
disgusted that I had to be subject to such
behaviour in this 21st century. Please share.
It is not okay.

In a second update, she writes:
I thought i'd post a status to save time
answering questions.
Firstly I'd like to say thank you to everyone
for the support. What I intended to be a
vent of my feelings towards the company
and maybe be shared a couple of times has
exploded and touched/angered a lot of
people in way I genuinely could never have
imagined.
I am not currently naming the company (as
much as i'd like to right now out of
indignation and anger) because I do not
intend to destroy someones livelihood and
business, and I don't really want a lawsuit
on my hands either... however it does not
deter from the fact now that I have chanced
upon an opportunity to correct blatant
ignorance and discrimination, and it is a
fact that I certainly will keep going until it
is put to rest. If it does result in me having
no choice but to completely expose the
company, I have no problem in doing so.
This policy needs to be eradicated
completely, there is no room for such rules
in this day and age- across any sector.
More than anything it just made me upset.
I had the right experience, they were happy
to have me... it was just about my hair.
Kind of silly really. I will be speaking to a
lawyer about this tomorrow and will be
contacting the company. As I have now
learnt social media is a very powerful thing
and I would not want to misuse it!
Again, thank you very much for the
surprising but amazing level of support, I
will keep you posted.
It has really made a difference so please do
keep sharing!
