CURL JOY

SUMMER CAMP LAB DESCRIPTION:

“Caring for myself is not self-indulgence. It is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare" was written by American writer + Feminist Audre Lorde. We too agree with sis because CROWN CARE is self care!

In the Hair Joy for Black Girls Lab we will become acquainted with our kinks, coils, and texture while using our sense of touch. Let’s take pride in what naturally belongs to us and the heritage our ancestors passed on to us.

Must be Enrolled in Camp to Participate.
