Natural Hair Party
Ladies' First year-long Black Girl Hair Project begins with a natural hair party amongst the Ladies First members! The goal is to create a lot more confidence around the Young Black Girls and their curls. This natural hair party is an opportunity to bond over their curls, kinks, and coils. One thing all naturals, individuals who don't chemically straighten their hair, love to talk about is, our hair! Planning an afternoon centered around our favorite topic doesn’t have to take a lot of effort, time, or money.
Black Girl Elementary Partnership
Ladies First engages with Black elementary school students in a four-part series about building confidence as it relates to their hair. The conclusion of the elementary students getting their hair done and a goodie bag of Black Girl Hair supplies.
