I recently joined Jonathan Van Ness on Netflix’s “Getting Curious” to
share my hair journey, talk about living authentically, and discuss a
piece of legislation that’s close to my heart — the Create a Respectful
and Open World for Natural Hair (CROWN) Act.

Black women’s hair has always been political, and it continues to be
unjustly discriminated against.

Across the country, hair discrimination has harmed Black folx — especially
women and girls — of every background. And in many states, it’s still
legal.

From employment handbooks to school policies, afros, locs, twists, and
other hairstyles have been codified as proxies for Black skin. And these
racist dress codes and hair policies have created illogical, unjust, and
harmful barriers to education and employment.

That’s why I’ve re-introduced the CROWN Act, which would move us one step
closer to ending discrimination against Black hair once and for all.

workplace and the classroom — as their full, authentic, and unapologetic
selves. If you agree, will you make a $3 contribution today
to show your support for the CROWN Act?
