Ángela Leyva, 20 years old, used to wear her hair in an afro style or braided, but it seems that some Twitter users did not like it.
"What happened to Ángela Leyva's hair?", "What did she do?". Those were some of the unfair comments against the athlete that flooded Twitter.
Legendary volleyball players like Lucha Fuentes and Cecilia Tait have proudly worn afro hair on international sports stages. Why is Ángela Leyva criticized so much? Racism? What is behind these absurd criticisms?
