In honor of Black History Month, help end race-based hair discrimination in the workplace & schools with The CROWN Act 🧵 (1/7)
Today is National Crown Day 👑
I made this piece back in 2021 (crazy!) and I’m glad it has continued to aid in sparking conversation around TCA and the importance of Natural Hair in the workplace.

Today, we celebrate National CROWN Day!
In 2019, I advanced #TheCROWNAct with my former colleague Nancy Navarro. Montgomery County was the first local jurisdiction to pass the Act to end hair discrimination!
CROWN stands for Create a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair.

I am so proud to participate in this year’s National Crown Day 👑 My hair doesn’t define my ability to be a journalist or serve my community, but it does allow me to be confident in who I am, where I come from and a role model for young girls who look like me. The CROWN Act
Spittin’ logic on the trauma & negative stereotypes around black hair. Civil rights era laws are being repealed. From #BANNED books to the reversal of tenure track in #HigherEducation , is the The CROWN Act on the chopping block.
Thanks, director @jerseykool, for the dope shots.
I am #CROWNProud !
National CROWN Day is a special holiday commemorating the inaugural signing of the first CROWN Act legislation in California on July 3, 2019, to “Create a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair.” The CROWN Act
