Whether it's feeling like a zoo animal that everyone wants to touch, or it's being asked to take your braids out for a job - there are some reactions to afro hair that are more - ahem - challenging than others. So, here's a workshop on the evolution and history of Afro-textured hair and how its impact on society through time tells a story within itself, a story that speaks volumes about the Black experience and identity.
Did you know that rice was braided into the hair of African women to serve as sustenance on their way to enslavement? Or that enslaved Africans also used cornrows to transfer and create maps to leave plantations and the homes of their captors? Learn the rich history and journey of Black hair - right up to the present day - where it’s still a huge point of discussion.
Leave with a guide on things not to say to someone with afro hair.
