Fellow Black Women—Wear that CROWN, and no white person is supposed to touch it, whether you’re at work or not. Just because your hair is different from theirs doesn’t mean they are supposed to touch you! Read about the CROWN Act, which protects us in the workplace. Our hair cannot be treated as if it makes us different or separates us from others. NO ONE can treat you like you’re the violator when white hands land on your head. NO ONE can say that “the first time” someone touches your hair is not an issue (there shouldn’t be a first time that a white coworker touches you). White people should be able to work alongside you WITHOUT touching your hair. The EEOC has federal laws to protect everyone from unwanted touching in the workplace, but the CROWN Act is specific to Black women’s hair in the workplace. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS! We are NOT our ancestors! We will NOT tolerate what they did. They had no protection, but we do! Google The Crown Act to read up on the movement.

On this Mother’s Day weekend, I am proud to announce my new children’s book is here! Crowned to be Cool, a book dedicated to our SONshines is now available. I had to show love to our sons, especially my son. He is the face of the main character. I’ve been in the lab working on another project for a minute! Shout out to my illustrator @crtvprblmslvr for seeing the vision & bringing it to life. Crowned to be Cool… Just like the predecessor, this book was designed to empower & inspire our young men to love their natural crown. @my_cool_crown has received so much love for the young Queens, that I had to show the love for the young Kings. Our sons need empowerment too & this book was created just for that! “Our hair has a significant story. You can’t knock my Crown & Glory!” #iamcharliemarcol #crownedtobecool #linkinbio #honoryourself #foroursons #childrensbooks #blackhaircare #iwrite #authorlife #teachthemwell #trainthemup #newbook #crownandglory #hairstory #hairtips #crowncoalition #dovecrownact #thecrownact #iamnotmyhair #hairtales #getyours #icreate #contentcreator #empowertheyouth #reviews #comingsoon #boymom #blackboyjoy #newbookalert #mothersday

Black hair is beautiful. Natural textures and styles hold rich history, rich ancestry, rich connections… and reflect the beauty and magnificence of Black heritage. Black hair is dynamic. It’s a beautiful mosaic of expression – of how the Black community shows up proudly and powerfully, all over the world. Black hair is freedom. Black hair is love. Black hair is joy. Black hair is all around us. Let’s continue to celebrate Black hair every day – not just this month 💙 Help end race-based hair discrimination.

To kick off Black History Month we thought we’d share a little hair history: In 2019, a study to measure the magnitude and impact of natural hair based discrimination faced by Black women in the workplace was commissioned by @Dove From this study @theCrownAct was formed and together with Dove and the Crown Coalition they fight the biases faced by black women and children for wearing hairstyles that are natural for their hair and inherent for their culture. The study found that Black women are 1.5x more likely to be sent home from their workplace because of their hair. One study also found that black children can experience hair prejudice as early as 5 years old. Trying to avoid hair discrimination means using chemical or heat straighteners that can damage the hair in the short and long term. These processes are both expensive and time consuming. It’s time to join the fight babe- join the Crown Coalition and fight to end this discrimination. #salon #barberlife #jobs #hiring #salonlife #beautycommunity #cosmetologystudent #cosmetologyschool #beautyboss #salonowners #beautyawards #beautyschoolstudent #hairawards #salonculture #blackhistorymonth #saloncareers #supportsalons #barbershopowners #salonsmallbusiness #saloncareer #salonjob #hairwisdom #CROWNcoalition #thecrownact #hairdiscrimination #hairhistory

I was so excited to work this event. It was an amazing full circle moment for me. I had the opportunity to work with Dove 18 years ago when they had first started their Campaign for Real Beauty. It was my first chance working with a great brand that was in the community making a difference for girls and women and I couldn't believe that I was being paid to connect with other women. It was so mind blowing to me but there I was working for myself and challenging women to love and accept themselves. Imagine using your own struggles to uplift other girls and women. It was simply one of the best campaigns I got to work on and introduced me to Brand Ambassador opportunities to work with other great brands. This particular event brought me back to my childhood roots on Martha's Vineyard. I had my first job opportunity working for my dad just feet away as a server for a catered event. Now Dove has co-founded the CROWN Coalition to help support the passage of legislation called The CROWN Act. The CROWN Act, which stands for Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair, is a law that prohibits racial discrimination based on natural textures and protective hairstyles. Go check them out for information and learn what you can do to make a difference. #MagicMirrorCapeCod #Dove #SOulFullyTextured #curatedcurl #theCrownAct #ShowYourCrown #CrownCoalition

My story was about my pageant journey. Sometimes people think pageants are all about crowns and banners and like that TV show toddlers and tiaras. ❌️ But being a pageant girl has given me so many experiences, opportunities, and growth like public speaking skills. 👑 Some people think pageants would damage a person's self esteem because they think we are judged on outside appearance ❌️ But in reality, I have grown so much confidence through pageanty because it's more about setting and achieving goals, and that journey leads to higher confidence. 👑 Because of pageants I'm more prepared and confident than most of my peers in class presentations, interviews, communicating with grown ups. Ask me anything about pageants!

Did you know that a recent study uncovered that 80% of African American women face hair discrimination? And that there is a movement to keep African Americans from being harassed, demoted or fired because of their hair style? It’s called the CROWN Act (“Create A Respectful And Open World For Natural Hair”). The Crown Act #crownact and the Crown Coalition #crowncoalition are helping to enact laws across the United States to end discrimination against African Americans. As a Black American who is proud to represent Black women in my industry, I’m honored #crownproud to support @thecrownact ❤️ So far, 23 states have adopted the Crown Act, but there is still more to be done. Dove, The National Urban League, Western Center on Law And Poverty and Color of Change have come together to address race based discrimination with powerful legislation to create real change in our society. Hair discrimination is race based discrimination, and you can go to www.dove.com/crown to sign the petition to end it once and for ALL.

Beverly Hills West (CA) Links celebrated National Crown 👑 Day and reflected on why “I love my crown”. Governor Gavin Newsom Signed SB188 The CROWN Act into law on July 3, 2019 making California the first state to ban hair discrimination in work and school. Members shared favorite pictures showing their crowns with pride and a sentence on why they love their crown. “I love my crown because it feels naturally free.” “I love the ways we wear our crown. My daughter frequently rocks in braids.” “Our hair carries our consciousness…links our spirit and soul to our bodies.” “I love my crown because it represents me!” “I love wearing my crown in braids because it gives me a sense of freedom and a connection to my African heritage.” “We just love our crown!” If you love your crown, please tell us why in the comments.

Today is National Crown Day, which acknowledges the National CROWN Act (2019), prohibiting race-based “hair” discrimination, particularly against Black women, men and children in school and work-related settings. California was the first state to enact the CROWN Act into law (SB 188; July 3, 2019) with several other states following suit. It is unclear if all states will adopt CROWN Act legislation, as a way to demonstrate their support for non-discriminatory behavior, as it relates to natural hair and hairstyles. It is unfortunate that policies have to be created to prevent hair based discrimination, given the way that textured hair naturally grows and is worn. Quick note about Black hair… pushing Black people to wear Eurocentric hairstyles, on a consistent basis, can lead to severe hair damage. 😬 Less damaging hairstyles, including protective styles, are preferred by many Black people. Therefore, it is important to simply accept the way that Black people prefer to wear their hair. My hope is that people will truly learn to accept one another and celebrate our differences, as opposed to regulating them. I personally believe that ALL HAIR is beautiful! ~ Dr. Harven ❤️ “CROWN” >> Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair #thecrownact #crowncoalition #dove #blackhaircare #blackhairgrows #blackhairstyles #naturalhairstyle #naturalhairrocks #afropuff #afrohairstyle #afrohairstyles #braidedhairstyles #braidedhair #permedhair #hairstraightening #kinkyhair #twiststyles #dutchbraids

The CROWN Act into law when SB 188 was signed by Governor Gavin Newsom on Wednesday, July 3, 2019. “We are overjoyed to see Governor Newson sign The CROWN Act into law today, and are looking forward to continuing to drive legislative change in other states in the months to come.” “The CROWN Act is redefining the cultural norms of 'professional images’ for all people,” said Senator Holly J. Mitchell, who began this important work with The Crown Coalition in February. The CROWN Act will prohibit employers and schools from enforcing purportedly “race neutral” grooming policies restricting natural hair styles. #SB188 #CROWNAct #THECROWNACT #CROWNCOALITION

Ivy Griffin’s story published today in @vogue in honor of CROWN Day is a beautiful story about how she came to embrace her alopecia diagnosis and bald crown. * Ivy's candid "as told to" story documents her road to building mental resilience over a nearly twenty-year period. Check it out online! * A huge thank you to EIC @nnadibynature, beauty editor @lauren_valenti, @stacykranitz & the Rosalynn Carter Mental Journalism Fellowship for partnering with me to produce this necessary story. Happy CROWN Day!

𝙇𝙚𝙩'𝙨 𝙏𝙖𝙡𝙠 𝙃𝙖𝙞𝙧 💇🏾‍♀️ In 2019, Dove commissioned a study to measure the magnitude and impact of natural hair based discrimination faced by Black women in the workplace. The study found that Black women are 1.5x more likely to be sent home from their workplace because of their hair. Black women were also 80% more likely to change their hair from its natural state to fit into the office setting. On January 31, 2023, Minnesota joined a growing list of states that have enacted the CROWN Act, which prohibits discrimination based upon a person’s hair texture or hairstyle, if that hair texture or hairstyle is commonly associated with a particular race or national origin. Hairstyles commonly associated with race or national origin include those in which hair is tightly coiled or tightly curled, or worn in locs, cornrows, twists, braids, Bantu knots, and Afros. Versions of the CROWN Act have already been enacted in nineteen other states: Alaska, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Maryland, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Tennessee, Virginia, and Washington. Legislatures in at least seven states – Michigan, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, and Wisconsin – are moving to enact their own CROWN Acts. #CrownAct #DoveSoap #blackhair #CROWNDay #PassTheCrown #linksinc #CrownCoalition #hairdiscrimination #blackwomenofhospitality #hair #beauty

#HairDiscrimination IS racial discrimination - and it looks like this 👆 CROWN stands for Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair. 👑 Racial discrimination against hairstyles can start as early as five vears old - and last a lifetime ⚠️ From schools to the corporate world, Black people are still being denied work and educational opportunities because of their natural, textured hair and protective styles. This is unacceptable, and the time to act is NOW. 👑 Join the movement to #PassTheCROWN & Visit dove.com/CROWN to: ✍️Sign the The CROWN Act petition and 🇺🇲 write or Tweet to your US Senator #CROWNProud #CROWNDay2023 #Dove #CROWN #CROWNCoalition #NaturalHair #HairLove #CROWNAct #TheCROWNAct #BlackHair #SignThePetition #EndHairDiscrimination #EndRacia|Discrimination #RacialDiscrimination

Today, July 3rd, is National Crown Day. National CROWN Day is a special holiday commemorating the inaugural signing of the first CROWN Act legislation in California on July 3, 2019, to “Create a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair.” In 2023 we are #CROWNProud. It’s a declaration that when we ALL wear our CROWNS, it becomes a beautiful show of solidarity behind the movement and a formidable statement that we are no longer asking for permission. We are taking control of our narratives. We are fearless. We are unstoppable. We are CROWN PROUD. We won’t stop until hair discrimination is eradicated nationwide.

It’s National CROWN Day👑 Today, we celebrate and express our gratitude for everyone who has stood up in support of The CROWN Act, which stands for "Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair." The CROWN Act is an incredible movement that aims to put an end to hair discrimination and promote inclusivity and acceptance for all hair types, textures, and styles. It's about embracing the beauty and diversity of natural hair and ensuring that everyone feels empowered to rock their crowns with confidence. 💁🏾‍♀️💁🏽‍♂️ By supporting @thecrownact, we are speaking up against unfair policies and societal norms that have unfairly targeted and marginalized individuals based on their natural hair. Today, we celebrate the progress we've made, but we also recognize that there is still work to be done. Remember, your hair is a part of your identity and a symbol of your uniqueness. #NationalCROWNDay #EmbraceYourCrown #TheCROWNAct #NaturalHairLove #HairEquality #InclusionMatters #HairDiscrimination #CROWNCoalition #CelebrateDiversity #LivingTheEmpoweredLife #CrownDay2023

Today, we commemorate the anniversary of The CROWN Act being signed into law in California, marking a historic moment in the fight against hair discrimination. National CROWN Day is a celebration of our collective efforts to ensure that all people are protected from race-based hair discrimination.

Happy National #CROWNDay! Today our CEO celebrates Black Hair Independence and joins the fight to end hair discrimination. Her hair is her CROWN and her CROWN is Professional. 22 states and 40+ municipalities have enacted #TheCROWNAct or legislation inspired by the CROWN Act. While this is a great accomplishment, it's not enough. The CROWN Act must pass at the federal level for all of our CROWNs to be protected.​ On March 18, 2022, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the CROWN Act, which would ban hair discrimination at work, federal programs, and public accommodations, however, it did not pass the Senate in December 2022 and the bill has to be introduced in 2023. The CROWN Act, which stands for “Create a Respectful and Open Workplace for Natural Hair,” is a law that prohibits race-based hair discrimination, which is the denial of employment and educational opportunities because of hair texture or protective hairstyles including braids, locs, twists or bantu knots. Email your legislators using a template here: https://www.thecrownact.com/email-your-federal-legislator Join the CROWN Coalition in celebration by sharing your CROWN boldly and proudly.
