Beauty & Black Hair with Ariana Brown

There is such beauty, uniqueness, and possibility in Blackness. In this workshop, designed for all Black participants, we will talk about our relationships to Black hair. Since we come in many textures, we will talk about how our hair is perceived by ourselves and others, who taught us about our hair, and all the joys and pain associated with it. We will use writing prompts and group dialogue to build community with one another and affirm our unique experiences as Black folks.
