COMBING THROUGH HISTORY
Because protective hairstyles and upkeep demand time and resources, our access and choices are tangled up with factors like race, gender, social class, and economic privilege.
Hairstyles originated by marginalized communities have long been targeted for discrimination at work and school, then appropriated as a fashion statement.
The CROWN Act prohibits race-based hair discrimination in New York and 26 other states, while the other 23 states still tacitly enforce Eurocentric beauty standards.
BE THE VILLAGE
Join a soul-nourishing network of artists, advocates, and neighbors.
