Gabriel Douglas the 16 year old United States gymnast from Virginia Beach, VA has become the talk of the Olympic Games in London this past week. The world now knows the talent Gabby has. Douglas won team and individual Gold Medals for the United States Women's gymnastic team. She also has landed the first of probably many endorsements, already landing on the box of Kellog's Corn Flakes. Unfortunately, social network opted to focus more on Gabby's hair opposed to her awesome performances throughout the week. Plenty of individuals on social network, attacked her hair because they didn't think it was done. Who cares ? Competing and being judged on your performance more importantly your effort is all the matters. Perm or no perm it really doesn't matter. Allow Douglas to enjoy the spotlight minus the hair criticisms. Similar the the Olympic Games in the 1990's Douglas hopefully can become an inspiration to young African American girls, like Dominique Dawes did for her, by getting them interested in the sport.
