"Crown Connections" is more than just a braiding workshop; it's a celebration of self-identity, cultural pride, and the powerful connection forged through the shared experience of Black hair. It's an opportunity to honor the moments we learned to adorn our hair in every texture, color, and style, and to recognize the inherent beauty and regality of our crowns.
