“In discussing straight, protective, and natural styles I do not aim to denote that any one style is “right” or “wrong.” Rather, work to contextualize & engage with the historical precedents that impact how we, as Black women, move to embody revolution and evolution through our hair” bit.ly/4rXntT5

Eghosa's words, part biography, part manifesto, & part blueprint are plaited into a basket to carry the experiences of multiple Black women (re)discovering identities damaged, desiccated, and disrupted through schooling experiences. -Dr. Andre Carter bit.ly/4sVqowz
