The History of Our Hair

Buckle up for this ride on a hair time machine. Dr. Afiya Mbilishaka —a psychologist, hairstylist and hair historian— will take attendees on a journey of exploring the cultural and historical significance of hair through a visual narrative across the African Diaspora. From the pyramid walls to trending hashtags on social media, this workshop will give a context for why hair is so emotionally significant to Black communities. Participants will become fluent and analytical in assessing hair narratives within the lives of their clients and larger communities.
