july 3rd is national crown day!!!

hey guys, today is July 3rd and it has new meaning...today is National CROWN Day!!!

Many of you may STILL NOT KNOW about The CROWN Act that passed last year to end race based hair discrimination (in California). Since then, New York, Virginia, New Jersey, Colorado, Washington and Maryland have protection but we still have work to do to end hair based discrimination in schools and in the workplace.

As a person of color who naturally has loc'd hair, I personally know the struggle 

if you've been paying attention or glimpsed at the news  (prior to cover-19) there are several discrimination cases around the nation that were race based and specific to hair...braids, afros and locs....it has to stop!!! it must stop!!! 

yes, we are more than our hair and what is natural should not be subjective or used as a reason to prevent us from pursuing our academic and professional goals

I wish that hair wasn't an issue but it is and so here I am again standing up for my freedom, for my right and for my independence!!! 

My natural is an option...let that sink in

again Happy National CROWN Day!!!
