Hey Cousins! We had the opportunity to host a LIVE podcast segment during the HBCU Connect conference here in Washington D.C. at that Nationals Park stadium! Thank you to REVOLT and HBCU Connect for making this happen! During the segment we sat down with Real Housewives of Potomac Alum, Candiace Dillard Bassett.

We're kicking off the second season of the Curl Code by sharing a vulnerable, illuminating, sometimes hilarious and alwways incredible conversation from the launch party of the show last year. This live event brought together curlies and non-curlies of different generations and backgrounds to discuss lived experiences of having curly hair. Regardless of what else we might not have in common, we discovered funny and not-so-funny stories of hair trauma, struggle, and finally, embrace that revealed to us the things we share, and helped us learn about what's changed--and still needs to change--to allow all of us to live as our most authentic selves and embrace our curly crowns. Our non-curly allies helped us understand their own experiences and limitations, and even our wavy and swavy friends got a little reassurance that there is a place for them in the the curl universe too!  This conversation exemplifies the openness, authenticity and healing we stand for in this show, and at the Curly Oasis salon and education platform. We hope you'll find solidarity, companionship, and discovery in this show, and realize that whatever you hair trauma or curl experience may be, you are not alone! Continue your curly hair styling and education journey on our Instagram!

Il y a quelques semaines, nous avions parlé de maquillage avec la journaliste Valentine Petry comme vecteur culturel, sociologique et politique. Certains éléments de la beauté qui peuvent être considérés comme superficiels , ont en réalité une signification et des enjeux bien plus profonds. C'est le cas aussi des cheveux qui, plus que le maquillage peut-être encore, tendent à provoquer parfois des attitudes discriminantes voire racistes. Dans cet épisode, nous en parlons avec Kenza Bel Kenadil, une entrepreneure et créatrice de contenus engagée, absolument solaire qui se bat pour le natural hair mouvement. Ensemble, nous avons parlé d'injonctions et de représentations de beauté, de discriminations capillaires et de ses meilleurs conseils pour accepter et aimer ses cheveux au naturel. Bonne écoute !  Hébergé par Ausha. Visitez ausha.co/politique-de-confidentialite pour plus d'informations.

Dawn Myers solved a problem for black women that was long overdue. Managing their beautiful, yet challenging at times, hair. We start at the beginning with the Ritualist. She also shares, in vivid detail, how The Mint came about. Her invention has changed how women of color manage their hair forever! You don't want to miss this! Web: https://richualist.com Follow: @dawndoesthemost @getritualist About Dawn Myers: Dawn lives to inspire entrepreneurs to walk in their purpose and build out their visions. Dawn leverages her product development, fundraising, and brand building experience to help early-stage founders achieve liftoff. Named one of Washington, D.C.'s Tech Titans by the Washingtonian and one of Washington's top 21 founders to watch by The Washington Business Journal, Dawn has negotiated partnerships with and secured funding from the world's top manufacturers including Dow, Proctor and Gamble, Sephora, and Glossier for her patented technologies in the hair and personal care space. ​ Dawn is a startup eco-system architect, having launched and managed educational programming for entrepreneurs throughout the Washington metropolitan area. As former Director to Black Girl Ventures and Director at The Vinetta Project, a national 501(c)(3), Dawn has developed seminars, bootcamps, and accelerator programming for up and coming founders of color. ​ Having been featured in Washington Business Journal, Essence, Black Enterprise, In Style, Teen Vogue, and Refinery 29, Dawn teaches founders how to lay a sound foundation, build the relationships they need to thrive, and access capital using non-traditional strategies From the Founder: Back in the day, it was completely socially unacceptable for little Black girls to wear their natural hair in public. Years later as a young law student, I would finally cut off my processed, relaxed, damaged straightened hair and embrace my natural texture. It was life changing. I felt beautiful in my own skin for the first time in my life. I want to make it easy for all women of color to feel that same feeling, but styling highly textured hair is complicated, time consuming, and deeply inconvenient for many consumers. In fact, many consumers in this niche spend upwards of 3 hours on styling each time they wash. We have engineered new tech for textured hair to make styling faster, easier, and more convenient. I want all women to be able to work out, travel, and manage our families and careers without having to sacrifice basic hygiene or confidence in our appearance. Meet The Mint by Richualist, a thermal infuser and styler that brings your wash day into the 21st century. Our all-in-one hair styling system detangles, conditions creams and gels, applies product, and styles with just one stroke.

It all started with a wish for a satin-lined beach hat. When Rachel Osborne could not find one on the market, she set about creating her own.  She spent 2023 researching and testing her concept for luxury satin lined, and adjustable hats that would offer "no-frizz" experience for curly and kinky hair. As a result, her brand RAINA was born. The creation of RAINA is very much tied to Rachael's own natural hair journey, which  resonates with anyone who's ever felt the pressure to conform to so-called conventional beauty standards. It took a while for her to accept and celebrate her own natural curls. Creating this line of high-end hats is a testament to where she is on her natural hair journey: she now sees her curls as the embodiment of elegance and beauty. She also believes that it is time for curly hair to be included in the development of all luxury hair products. As every entrepreneur will attest, the entrepreneurial career and lifestyle choice is an opportunity for personal growth, and for building deep community bonds. Rachael shares her own learning curves and mindset shifts that have made her successful so far. She also offers some advice for aspiring entrepreneurs.

"We want Black woman to love our hair and the texture of our hair just as much as that wig or that extension, or to love how your hair grows out of your scalp just as much as you would love it when it's permed or straightened. We really want to encourage Black women and girls to start from that place of loving the way your hair grows out of your scalp, and then letting that dictate the different ways that you style your hair." ~ Melissa Burlock Read an excerpt from their book on Elephant Journal: My Divine Natural Hair. ~ Shelia, Sylvia, and Melissa Burlock   *This is a partial conversation.

Texas is one of the 24 states that has passed the CROWN Act. “CROWN” stands for Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair, and these laws are supposed to stop discrimination against Black people who wear their hair in natural styles. But high school senior Darryl George has been fighting suspension for months over his dreadlocks. The issue is now set to be decided in court in February. On today's episode of A Word, Jason Johnson is joined by Jennifer Wyatt Bourgeois, a professor at Lone Star College in Texas, and a research fellow at Texas Southern University's Center for Justice Research. They discuss the specifics of Darryl George's case, and why the CROWN Act in Texas seems to be falling short.  Guest: Professor Jennifer Wyatt Bourgeois of Lone Star College in Texas Podcast production by Kristie Taiwo-Makanjuola You can skip all the ads in A Word by joining Slate Plus.
