Additional Information
I create a project that lead to a non-profit . I work with youth in the black community in response of discrimination against their Afro Hair. Over the past two years. We are teaching hair beauty skills and create awareness into the black community. We are promoting the black beauty on all of thing around them. Youth and family are today pride of their afro hair and beauty. Also, they are pride about their culture and their value. As a member of a black community it a sign of taking back our identity and we are embracing our difference.
