Show black women and girls everywhere their hair is beautiful
Hey there, beautiful! Let’s talk about something that continues to affect our daily lives: the CROWN Act. If you’re not familiar with it, buckle up because this is crucial for us.
First off, what’s the CROWN Act? Well, it stands for “Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair.” It’s a legislation that’s all about ending hair discrimination, especially against Black folks who choose to wear their hair in natural styles like afros, braids, twists, or locks. I recently learned from the Curls and Convo event that Florida has yet to pass the act.
Now, why should you care? Let’s get real here. How many times have you felt pressured to change your natural hair to fit into corporate standards? How often have you or someone you know faced discrimination or ridicule because of your beautiful natural hair? It’s not right, and it’s definitely not fair.
Here’s the deal: supporting the CROWN Act isn’t just about hair; it’s about equality, respect, and acceptance. Every Black woman should have the freedom to wear her hair however she wants without fear of judgment or discrimination.
So, what can you do to help? It’s simple, really. Sign the petition urging Florida lawmakers to pass the CROWN Act. Your signature matters, and it’s a powerful way to show support for this important cause.
