Our natural hair is beautiful and professional
For over four hundred years, Black natural hair has been the target of erasure efforts, demarginalizing us both as African Americans and as women. The various institutional modalities of policing Black women’s hair is a form of racist politics. Despite structural denials to the contrary, the fact is that our natural hair remains a heretical war zone. TRAUMA, TRESSES, & TRUTH is our way of encouraging course correction.
