Words from our student panel at our 2020 Launch #Blackjoy "Black is beautiful!” "Melanin is not a hinderance"! "We didn’t start from chains, we started from kings & queens!" "Slavery is the interruption of Black history, not our entire history!"

Yes! @shelita_walker It was trey anthony’s “Kink in My Hair” stage play that really shifted my perspective on how I brief myself as beautiful and learned to love my natura hair. A conversation about our hair journeys is definitely one I would love to engage with. #PushoutVoicEd

Such an honour to share a platform with such transformative educators.
