Ep 8: Natural Hair Discrimination

This week we continue our three-part series on Black Hair. In Part II, Dawn explores natural hair discrimination, by talking with three highly influential warrior women. First, she talks with author of the book, Natural Hair in the Workplace: What Are Your Rights, Tracy Sanders, Esq. Then, she discusses NYC's new natural hair ban with Chair and Commissioner of the New York City Commission on Human Rights, Carmelyn P. Malalis. The episode wraps up with California State powerhouse, Senator Holly Mitchell. Senator Mitchell authored the C.R.O.W.N Act (Creating a Respectful and Open Workplace for Natural Hair).

This episode is chock full of hair-raising experiences. Real, practical advice on the legal rights of employees and students are offered as we break down the difference in federal, local, and state laws.

This is an episode no naturalista should miss!

Note From the Stiletto Revolution #5: Discrimination Doesn't Have to Be a Part of Our Everyday Lives. Know Your Rights.
