We want to make sure we celebrate all victories! Being black in America is HARD… but being a BLACK WOMAN in general is HARDER. They want to take our style, our voices, our body types and now they want to hate on our hair. One thing I will say to all the BLACK WOMEN! You are beautiful and there is nothing or no one who can change that!

BUT THIS ONE IS FOR US!

“Every day in this country, Black women and girls face discrimination because of their natural hair at their workplaces and schools,” said Congressional Black Caucus Chairwoman Joyce Betty in a statement. “So today, I proudly voted yes on the #CROWNAct to finally end race-based hair discrimination once and for all.”

She continued, “It’s simple — discrimination against Black hair is discrimination based on race. I look forward to swift passage of this critical legislation in the Senate and to standing with President Biden as he signs it into law. To every young Black girl and boy, I say to you, your hair — from your kinks to your curls, from your fros to your fades, from your locs to your braids — is a crown. Be proud of your hair and know the Congressional Black Caucus is fighting for you.”
