Event Description

Celebrate Black hair through art, dialogue, and storytelling in an immersive campus-community gathering.

Start with a gallery walk of student portraits that honor the beauty, history, and political power of Black hair across the African Diaspora.

Watch a short documentary debut that shares interviews and behind-the-scenes stories tied to Black hairstyles.

Join a panel on decolonized professionalism that explores cultural history, hair discrimination, the CROWN Act, and how Eurocentric standards keep getting challenged in schools, workplaces, and public life.

Close with a presentation on the project's vision, restorative justice roots, and why multimedia storytelling can drive representation, resistance, and liberation.
